history

Municipal secondary school on Prinz-Georg-Straße (1896)

School building of the Royal Prinz-Georg-Gymnasium (built 1896), around 1907

The school, formerly the “Städtische Realschule an der Prinz-Georg-Straße ” under the direction of Jakob Masberg, was authorized to be a high school in 1904 under the direction of Johannes Leitritz. In 1905 Lambert Gerber took over the school management, as Leitritz took over the management of the municipal high school and grammar school on Klosterstrasse . At Easter 1905 40 pupils and in 1906 28 pupils passed the school leaving examination (Abitur). When the reform high school was founded, the school was named Königliches Prinz-Georg-Gymnasium in 1906 under the direction of Rudolf Münch (1875–1957) .

Under Karl Knaut, the name was changed to Max-Planck-Gymnasium in 1947 , although the namesake agreed to this honor shortly before his death. Until the original school building was destroyed during the war in 1944, the grammar school was located on Prinz-Georg-Straße in Pempelfort .

The current building complex on Koetschaustraße in Stockum was occupied in 1956 and continuously expanded in the following decades. Originally a purely boys' grammar school, the MPG was also opened to female students in 1973.
