The Marie-Therese-Gymnasium is a municipal high school in Erlangen . It has a linguistic and a scientific-technological branch. The school building is located on Schillerstrasse, in the immediate vicinity of Lorlebergplatz, which forms the eastern end of Universitätsstrasse. The catchment area of the school therefore extends in addition to the city area to the locations in the northern and eastern surroundings of Erlangen.
history
The grammar school, which is often abbreviated to MTG, goes back to the Vömel'sche Privat-Töchterinstitut founded in 1873 (from May 1, 1887 under the name Städtische Höhere Töchterschule under the authority of the municipality) and the teacher training institute founded in 1904, which was affiliated with the daughter's school. From 1904 to 1914, both schools were combined under the title Municipal Higher Female Educational Institution . The Art Nouveau school building, newly built in Schillerstraße in 1909, is a listed building and still houses the MTG today. Even then, the modern language subjects, German , drawing, singing , violin and gymnastics were emphasized in the training of elementary school teachers .
In 1914, on the occasion of an announced visit by the Bavarian royal couple to the Marie-Therese-Schule , the now girl lyzeum was in honor of Marie Therese of Austria-Este , the wife of King Ludwig III. from Bavaria , renamed. The intended visit of the royal couple on July 27, 1914 never took place due to the political July crisis and the ensuing world war, but the lettering Marie-Therese-Schule has been emblazoned above the portal of the schoolhouse since 1914. In 1887 the Städtische Höhere Töchterschule had also taken over the school house at Friedrichstrasse 35 from the Vömel'schen private daughter institute , but the rooms were no longer sufficient in view of the steadily increasing number of pupils, so that since 1903 several rooms in the newly built school building of the Prinzregentenschule ( Today's school building of the Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium , at that time an elementary school building ) had to be occupied until the new building on Schillerstraße could be occupied in 1909. The old schoolhouse on Friedrichstrasse served as an outbuilding until after the Second World War.
At the end of 1918 an "Association for the Construction of a Daughter's Home" was founded, which was able to celebrate the opening of the house in Rathsberger Strasse 3 on September 1, 1920. From then on, the foreign students had the opportunity to stay in the city during the week and save themselves the time-consuming way home. The facility, first known as the “Töchterheim”, later as the “(urban) schoolgirls home”, colloquially as “Heim am Wels”, was handed over to the city in 1937 and closed in 1969 for cost reasons.
In 1925 the teachers 'seminar in Altdorf was canceled and moved back to Erlangen, so that the state teacher training institute and the municipal girls' college were now united in one place and under one management. In 1935/36 the female teacher training institute was converted into a German advanced school, the aim of which was no longer to train teachers, but to provide the university entrance qualification, which from then on was a prerequisite for attending newly established teacher training colleges. For the school year 1938/39, the school time in higher schools in Germany was shortened by one year to only 8 grades.
In 1945/46, the German advanced school was gradually transformed back into an old school for women teachers, but boys were also accepted in response to the needs of the times. At the same time, the secondary school for girls (the former girls' college) became an upper secondary school , and in 1949 a secondary school . As early as 1949, the teacher training college became a secondary school again. In 1949 the Friends of the Marie-Therese-Schule were founded, as from the following year there was full freedom from tuition fees and teaching materials and the school was faced with a financing problem. From 1950 the Realgymnasium was also allowed for students of both sexes. Since 1951/52, the school time up to the Abitur was nine years as before 1938. The teacher training institute was expanded in 1954 into the State German Gymnasium and Institute for Teacher Training and renamed. In 1955, the school building was enlarged to include a two-wing extension to the east. On September 1, 1956, the teacher training institute, together with the Schwabach teacher training institute, moved to Nuremberg ; What was left, in addition to the city's secondary school, was the state German grammar school that was only a quarter as large . In 1963 the two schools were separated, the German Gymnasium moved as a musical gymnasium to the east wing of the former Prinzregentenschulhaus on Langemarckplatz ( today Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium ), the Realgymnasium remained in the schoolhouse in Schillerstrasse, where eight of them have now finally moved again due to lack of space Classes that had been outsourced could return to the school house of the municipal Poeschke School . Bernhard Köppen, who had headed both schools together and laboriously untangled them since 1960, went to Langemarckplatz with the arts grammar school; his previous deputy Wolfgang Wießner became the new head of the secondary school. On September 1, 1965, the school was officially named Marie-Therese-Gymnasium due to the order of the Bavarian Ministry of Culture that all schools in the state had to choose a name . The German grammar school in the old Prinzregentenschulhaus was named after the Margrave Christian Ernst von Bayreuth .
Since 1978 the school has had a mathematical and scientific branch in addition to the modern language branch. The college level ( Reformed upper level ) was introduced a year earlier . This made the construction of a further extension south of the second wing from 1955 necessary, which was completed in 1978. In 2006, a cafeteria was built in this part of the building in order to be able to offer lunch in the afternoon classes , which are more frequent due to the G8, and the optional all-day classes . Since the 2011/2012 school year, school time has ended again with the 12th grade ( eight-year high school ) , as from 1938/39 .
In 2015 it was decided to continue the Marie-Therese-Gymnasium as a mathematical and natural science high school. Accordingly, a special focus has been on the development of the MINT subjects since then. In the field of languages, it has since been possible to learn Chinese or French as a late-beginning foreign language from the 10th grade. In addition, the arts subjects work closely together in the field of aesthetic education, another focus of the school profile.
The two-storey gymnasium was opened in October 2018 and construction began in 2016. After the gymnasium has been completed, the main building will be gradually renovated.

Curiosities
Although the Maria-Theresia-Gymnasium Munich and the Marie-Therese-Gymnasium Erlangen are named after the same person, they have different names. The MTG has held the world record for potato batteries, which is valid according to the Guinness Book, with 1220 V since 2012.

Individual evidence
- ↑ Yearbook of the Marie-Therese-Gymnasium 2012/2013
- ↑ From the founding of the female teacher training institute in 1904 until the separation of the German grammar school and the secondary high school in 1963, all headmasters were heads of both schools at the same time, with the exception of the years 1914–1925, when the teacher training institute was not in Erlangen.
- ↑ On January 13, 1936, he was given a forced leave of absence because he had tried to talk a teacher out of anti-Semitic action. Reinhold Burlein nominally represented him until he was officially appointed headmaster in 1940. From September 1941 Burlein was drafted into the army. After the end of the war, the now 66-year-old merely was re-appointed headmaster by the occupation authorities.
- ↑ Reinhold Burlein had been involved in the war since 1941. Haarländer was nominally only deputy head of the two schools.
- ↑ Bernhard Köppen remained head of the German Gymnasium in 1963, which was now spatially and organizationally separated from the Realgymnasium, and was thus practically the first independent head of the later Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium.
