history

The school was founded by King Ludwig II on May 14, 1864 as the first of the new type " Realgymnasium " in Bavaria . Above all, it should provide instruction in the realities , i.e. the natural science and technical subjects as well as in modern foreign languages. On October 1st of the same year, classes began with 37 students, six professors and a rector. The pupils had to prove the knowledge of a four-year Latin school in order to be accepted into the four-class Realgymnasium. The degree entitles the holder to study at a technical college or university , but without the subjects of theology, law and medicine. It was not until 1901 that graduates were able to study medicine, and from 1911 also law. In the school year 1874/1875, the school became six-class, so that entry was possible after three years of Latin school. In 1914, in the 50th year of its existence, the Realgymnasium was given a nine-class full establishment and thus equated with the humanistic grammar school.

Initially, the school was housed in the municipal school building at Luisenstrasse 3. In 1866 the school moved into a converted residential building on the corner of Luisenstrasse and Elisenstrasse (Elisenstrasse 1). Another move to the women's monastery building at Ludwigstrasse  14 across from the Bavarian State Library followed as early as 1871 . The Maximiliansgymnasium , with which the Realgymnasium later shares its Schwabing building, was also housed in the same building .

From the school year 1905/1906, due to lack of space, several classes were accommodated as a branch in the Luitpoldkreis Realschule on Alexandrastrasse. This branch of the school was relocated several times in the following years, namely to the building trade school at Gabelsbergerstraße 23 and to the north wing of the women's monastery building. 1910–1911 the new building was built on a plot of land on what was then the outskirts, into which the secondary school was able to move on September 18, 1912 with 650 students. Nevertheless, the branch remained and for the school year 1913/1914 moved into new rooms in the former "Krüppelheim" on Klenzestrasse. On September 10, 1918, this was separated from the mother school as an independent New Realgymnasium , which is now called the Old Realgymnasium .

During the First World War , up to 15 teachers and 301 students were drafted for military service. Classes took place in shifts until they could no longer be carried out properly. During the time of National Socialism , the Realgymnasium was transformed into a "secondary school" and thus lost its traditional school profile, which combined the educational content of antiquity, modern foreign languages ​​and natural sciences. Numerous students were called up for military service during World War II , the rest were repeatedly used as harvest workers or for clearing work. The bottom four classes were relocated to Kinderland to Bernau am Chiemsee , Leoni , Reit im Winkl and Siegsdorf . Air raids on July 13 and 16, 1944 and on the night of January 5 and 6, 1945 severely damaged the school building; The south wing with the gym and especially the north wing with the technical rooms are affected.

With the end of the war in 1945, teaching completely collapsed and can only be resumed on December 12th. Teachers and students took part in the reconstruction, the classes were housed in shifts in the Maximiliansgymnasium . By decree of September 22, 1946, the “high school for boys” was abolished and the secondary school was restored in its old form. In the school year 1958/1959 the number of pupils reached its maximum with 1092.

On March 18, 1966, the old secondary school was officially named after his former student Oskar von Miller , who had graduated from high school here in 1874. From the 1975/76 school year, girls are also allowed to attend classes.

In 2012, the 100th anniversary of the building and in 2014 the 150th anniversary of the school form was celebrated. The Oskar-von-Miller-Gymnasium should meanwhile be the only gymnasium that has existed as a "Real-Gymnasium" since it was founded.

In August 2019, the school community moved to a newly built interim building at Ungererstraße 191 in Munich for the period of general overhaul. The historic building complex, which is used by the Oskar-von-Miller-Gymnasium and the neighboring Maximiliansgymnasium , will be completely renovated between 2019 and probably 2022. The developer is the state capital Munich.
