history
As early as 1436 in the old suburb (Polish: Stare Przedmieście ) a school for St. Petri and Pauli was mentioned for the first time as a parish school of the church of the same name there, today's St. Petri Church on ulica Żabi Kruk, which was then called Poggenpfuhl. Since the Reformed Confession had been preached in 1622 in the St. Petri and Pauli Church, which became Lutheran in the course of the Reformation in 1557 , the school has since been responsible for the education of the Reformed citizens' sons. In 1818, like all church schools in Prussia, the school passed into municipal hands and was initially converted into a secondary school and at the beginning of the 20th century into a nine-class secondary school. In addition to funding from the public sector, there were also donations from private foundation capital. So transferred z. B. the Kabrunsche Foundation amounts to the maintenance of a commercial class as a parallel class to the Untersekunda to the Danzig magistrate. At the turn of the 20th century it was around 7,500 marks each year.
Since 1904, the upper secondary school has been using today's school building on what was then Hansaplatz, which was built according to plans by Kleefeld, who was then city building director. It was built in the style of the north German brick neo-Gothic , which was typical for public and church buildings in the Baltic Sea region at that time. The German school operation ended with the German surrender in 1945. On September 4, 1945 the first school year of the new Polish lyceum, which was named after Nicolaus Copernicus in 1964 , began. The gymnasium, which was destroyed in the war, was rebuilt in 1958. Well-known graduates of the Lyceum are the former Polish Prime Minister and current President of the European Council Donald Tusk , the Gdańsk Mayor Paweł Adamowicz and the civil rights activist Arkadiusz Rybicki .
