history

The establishment of the school, initially conceived as a branch institute, was approved in 1854 and goes back to the initiative of the nun Kunigunda Zankel, who worked in Bamberg and suggested the establishment to her superior Anna Hartmann. Since many Catholics came to Protestant Nuremberg from the Upper Palatinate in the period of industrialization, an educational offer should be created for these parts of the population. However, the girls' institute , which had been located at Klaragasse 1 since June 6, 1854, was open to all other religious communities from the start. Due to the increasing number of pupils and the associated space problems, they moved into a building complex at Tafelhofstrasse 3–5 as early as 1880, so that the school was run as a girls' college with ten classes from now on . With the separation of the first four classes in 1912 into a separate school type under the name Private Elementary School and with the introduction of the new six-class girls' middle school in 1918, the school building was expanded several times. In 1924 the higher girls 'school was named Girls' College at the Institute of the English Misses in Nuremberg . It was thus the first Catholic girls' college in Middle Franconia.

During the National Socialist era, the school was ordered to close on January 3, 1938. The school building was completely destroyed in the air raids in World War II, so that from September 1946 school operations could initially only be resumed in the Chevauleger barracks at Bärenschanzstraße 4/6, which had been poorly repaired. Due to an expansion of the educational offer, in 1954, the year of the 100th anniversary of the school, an Abitur class left school for the first time. In 1961, the company moved to an independent building complex between Kesslerplatz and Prinzregentenufer, which was expanded several times until 2002. In 1992 the Archdiocese of Bamberg took over the sponsorship of the school.

In 2016 it was announced that the building from 1961 will be demolished in the summer of the same year due to mold growth and signs of aging and that a new complex will be built by 2020 instead. According to press releases, the new building will cost around 63 million euros and contain a large auditorium, modern classrooms, a cafeteria, a triple gym and a roof terrace. During the construction work, the students are taught in a temporary wooden building on the school premises. The high school or secondary school / elementary school complex is to be demolished in two steps each.
