history

The founding year 1823 refers to the secondary school for girls , which was merged in 1898 with the Portsche Institute founded in 1842 to form the municipal secondary school for girls in a newly built school building. The neo-historical school building in the style of the Nuremberg Renaissance was built from 1896 to 1898 at Labenwolfstraße 10 by the architect Heinrich Wallraff. On May 3, 1912, a resolution by the Ministry of Culture gave it recognition as a higher (six-class) girls' school and a two-class women's school was established. In 1925 the higher girls 'school was renamed the municipal girls' school .

During the National Socialist era , the girls' college was converted into a high school. During the Second World War, the school building was almost completely destroyed in the air raids on Nuremberg , so that on December 3, 1945, classes for all three municipal girls' secondary schools initially resumed in the school building in Grimmstrasse (today: Brothers Grimm School ) in Erlenstegen . As early as May 1946, however, due to a lack of space and the growing number of students, they had to move to the school building at Schnieglinger Strasse 38 (today: Dr. Theo-Schöller School ) in St. Johannis . In the former and almost rebuilt building of the Wilhelm-Löhe-Schule at Zeltnerstrasse 19 in Tafelhof , a branch of the school was set up in March 1948, which has been run independently since 1950 as the Mächenoberrealschule II (today: Sigena-Gymnasium ).

Between 1951 and 1953, under the name Mächenoberrealschule I, the school moved into the rebuilt schoolhouse in Labenwolfstrasse in shift lessons . Full instruction could only be resumed with the extension built by 1965. For the 1967/68 school year, a mixed-sex music grammar school for boys and girls was set up, which was expanded in 1966/67 to include a mathematical and scientific branch and a modern language branch. In the 2000s, it was also built above the gym. Today around 80 full-time teachers teach at Labenwolf-Gymnasium. The school is also part of the School without Racism - School with Courage network .
