The Ilfeld Monastery School was founded in 1546 by the last abbot of the Ilfeld Monastery, Thomas Stange, with the consent of Count Wolfgang zu Stolberg . From 1550, Michael Neander , as headmaster, set the priorities and foundations for the later tradition, building on the ideas of the reformer Philipp Melanchthon . With the extinction of the male rulers in the county of Hohnstein in 1593, Duke Heinrich Julius von Wolfenbüttel tried to secure their inheritance and thus got into a dispute with the competing Counts of Stolberg. The Welfs lost the legal dispute through a ruling by the Reich Chamber of Commerce in 1632. Only the Ilfeld Abbey remained in the care of the Welfs as a “mild foundation”. This exclave has been administered from Hanover since 1559. Later (1803) the Milde Stiftung was to prove to be a useful advantage at the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , since such a secularization could not take place.

The Thirty Years' War brought the restoration of conditions in the Ilfeld Abbey with the Catholic Party in 1622 and in 1629 the Premonstratensians moved back into their old monastery. However, they were forced to flee as early as 1631 by approaching Swedish troops. Two years later the Protestant abbot Cajus reestablished the Academic Gymnasium .

When the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen was founded in 1737, the Ilfeld Abbey School was closely linked to it. Its curator from Münchhausen would have preferred to completely dissolve the monastery school and its monastery and use it to finance the new Göttingen University, but this was not legally possible. The monastery was used with its income for financing. The monastery school and the monastery were placed under the supervision of the Göttingen university professor Johann Matthias Gesner and later supervised by Christian Gottlob Heyne in his successor . The Ilfeld Abbey School achieved a high reputation in the 18th century and was perceived as the Georgia-Augusta cadre forge , a "preparatory institution for the Göttingen University."

Since 1823 the Ilfeld Abbey and thus also the monastery school have been part of the administration of the monastery chamber in Hanover as a special fund . The Royal collegiate Pädagogium received from 1859 successively new building of the medieval monastery buildings that were demolished for it. The Ilfeld district, formed in 1864, was a Hanoverian exclave, after the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover it was an exclave of the Prussian province of Hanover in the province of Saxony . The Hanoverian Stifts-Pädagogium was therefore closed in 1866. In 1867 it was reopened as the Prussian Royal Monastery School Ilfeld . The well-known Central German boarding schools were in close friendly contact, as exemplified by the school font that the Pforta State School near Bad Kösen dedicated to the Ilfeld people for the 350th school anniversary in 1896 . Politically, Ilfeld came to the province of Saxony in 1932. The assets of the monastery remained in the administration of the monastery chamber. From 1934 to 1944 the school was used as a National Political Educational Institution (Napola). After the buildings for the administration of the armaments company Mittelwerk GmbH were claimed, the school operations in Ilfeld were relocated to the Napola Ballenstedt from 1943 and completely stopped in 1944. After the war, the building was used as a hospital in the nearby city of Nordhausen , which in 1993 became the Neanderklinik Harzwald GmbH . The school's library, with its important old stock , suffered considerable losses and was eventually moved to the Gotha Research Library .
