history

As the Marienschule it was founded in 1858 by Pastor Cöllmann as a Catholic secondary school for girls. The order of the daughters of the Holy Cross took over the sponsorship .

Due to the National Socialists, the Marienschule was closed at the end of the school year 1937/38, but it was able to resume school operations in October 1945. In 1993 the religious school became a diocese school: the diocese of Essen took over the sponsorship and in 2007 a new school building on Brückstrasse in Werden could be moved into. The Marienschule became the Mariengymnasium. The Mariengymnasium has also been accepting boys since summer 2010. Girls and boys are taught separately according to the concept of parallel monoeducation .
