history

The Maria-Theresia-Gymnasium has existed since the end of the 19th century. Its founding as a bourgeois girls' school was decided in 1890 by the Augsburg civil association . In 1892 the city council passed its founding resolution.

school-building

In 1914 a new building was built for the school on Gutenbergstrasse, which was named Maria-Theresia-School . It was named after the last Bavarian queen, Marie Therese . This school, which had previously been run as a secondary school for girls, was converted to a lyceum in 1924, which offered French and English as compulsory foreign languages. In the same year a farmhouse in Zusamzell was acquired as a school campus. From the school year 1925/1926, the school became a Realgymnasium with grades 4 to 9 and the aim of the Abitur, a Lyceum with grades 1–6 and the completion of secondary school and a girls' school with grades 1–6 and the conclusion of middle school. In 1932 the school forbade its students from participating in the Hitler Youth, and in 1933 from participating in Marxist organizations.

In 1935 radical changes took place in the school organization. As early as 1933, the sequence of subjects in the certificates was changed to sport, German-language subjects, natural sciences and mathematics, and languages. The teachers 'council was abolished in 1935 and the parents' council in 1936. From 1939 to 1941 the gymnasium was occupied by the economic office, the lessons were severely affected by the effects of the war. In January 1945 the school building was badly damaged, and on April 22, 1945, classes were suspended. In December 1945, classes began again in various buildings across the city.

In March 1946, the Americans cleared the school building so that it was available for school operations again. The first post-war high school diploma took place in June 1946. Since 1948 there has been a student council and again a parents' council. The school building received a solid roof structure again. In 1977 the college level was introduced at the grammar school . Coeducation was introduced in the 1979/1980 school year . In 1992 the 100th anniversary of the school's founding was celebrated. The newly built cafeteria went into operation in the 2011/2012 school year, and at the same time the high school offered all-day classes in the lower grades for the first time.

activities

On the other hand, the trips and student exchange programs are important. So far, there are student exchanges with Manchester , Bourges, Arezzo, Rome and London. An annual trip to Scotland is also very popular. For the search for traces project - the Jewish schoolgirls at the Maria-Theresia-Gymnasium in the time of National Socialism , which resulted in an exhibition and an internet documentation created in cooperation with the House of Bavarian History , the project group of students and teachers from the grammar school was one of the Prize winner of the Viktor Klemperer Competition 2005 and winner of the Bebo Wager Prize 2006.
