After being confirmed as a newly designed lyceum in 1924, the school received state recognition on July 7, 1927 as an upper lyceum with a high school diploma . In 1930 a new building was built on Römerstrasse and the first Abitur examination was carried out a year later. The school was forcibly sold to the city of Jülich in 1944 by the Nazi regime and closed. The school building was destroyed in the bombing raid on October 8, 1944.
