history

The Kronberg Gymnasium has existed since 1620, but not in the current school building as the previous building was destroyed in the Second World War.

1620: At the beginning of the year (the second year after the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War) the grammar school is founded by Jesuits whom the Mainz Elector Johann Schweikhard von Kronberg had called to Aschaffenburg in 1612.

On June 14th, the Trinity Festival , the Elector of Mainz confirmed the Latin school. The Jesuit complex, consisting of a church , classrooms, living rooms and farm buildings, is located in the vicinity of the Aschaffenburg Castle between Pfaffengasse and Landingstraße and today houses the state technical college and vocational college .

1631: The Swedes invade Aschaffenburg in autumn. For the first time there is unexpectedly no school, because the Jesuits flee and the rooms of the college are confiscated. However, it is very likely that some form of emergency training continued to exist. This situation lasted until 1634, when the Swedes left.

1635: The plague afflicts Aschaffenburg, the Jesuits reopen the grammar school, but some pupils and two teachers die of the plague during the autumn break.

1637: The Swedes raid the city again in April, and Father J. Liebst, the school principal, is mortally wounded. The Jesuits fled again, but were able to return at the beginning of 1638. The Jesuit Church, which served as a study church for the school until it was destroyed in the Second World War, is still a reminder of the early days of the grammar school.

1773: With the abolition of the Jesuit order , the leadership of the grammar school was transferred to secular priests .

1944: The old high school building in Pfaffengasse did not survive the nights of bombing in November of that year. All that remains is a portal with the coat of arms of Elector Lothar Franz von Schönborn. Until 1968, the school sat in on the building of the Dalberg-Gymnasium and later also in the building of the former Maria Ward School on the market square and in the post-war barracks of the municipal vocational school on the Großmutterwiese.

September 11, 1965: On this day the foundation stone was laid for the new building in the Aschaffenburg pheasantry . This was preceded by a dispute between the city of Aschaffenburg and the state of Bavaria: The city wanted to build the school across the Main in the school center, but Munich wanted to build it in the pheasantry according to the agreements. From October 20, 1965, the former “Humanist Gymnasium” bears its current name, Kronberg Gymnasium, which reminds us of the founder

September 18, 1968: Kronberg-Gymnasium moves into the new school building in Fasanerie-Park. The Bavarian Prime Minister Alfons Goppel , whose son Thomas Goppel had graduated from the Kronberg Gymnasium two years earlier , also took part in the opening ceremony .

1995: The school celebrates its 375th anniversary.

2017: Due to a three-year general renovation of the school, the upper level is relocated to the building in Pfaffengasse.
