The Maria-Wächtler-Gymnasium (inside the school: MWG ) is a full-day high school in the Rüttenscheid district of Essen . The Maria-Wächtler-Gymnasium is also a certified European and MINT school with a bilingual branch.

history

In 1896 the facility was initially founded as a private school for senior daughters by Maria Wächtler. On April 26, 1896, she opened the school without the approval of the authorities. In 1897 the private school was recognized and Wächtler moved to a building on Dreilindenstrasse. In 1908 the girls 'school was brought into line with the boys' schools by law and, since Wächtler now also employed academically trained teachers, the school achieved the status of a Protestant lyceum in 1909 . Thorsten Korthaus became headmaster of the grammar school in 2014.

The namesake and founder, Maria Wächtler (born January 12, 1853 in Essen, † May 31, 1915 in Liebenwerda ) was the daughter of the Essen superintendent Karl Gottlieb Wächtler. She was the first headmistress in her school.

Today (2016) the educational institution is a grammar school with a bilingual focus (German-English) and also offers the option of all-day school. It is attended by over 1190 pupils and currently 95 teachers and other employees teach.
