1796 Leipzig was at the Schillerstraße later on the remains Moritzbastei designed by Johann Carl Friedrich Dauthe and August Wilhelm Kanne in two phases a municipal school building , which is the first  public school was home. On May 5, 1834, the first secondary school in the Kingdom of Saxony with 25 students was founded here, initially with little space, under the director and school reformer Johann Karl Christoph Vogel , who had headed the community school from 1832. In 1859 the school was able to expand and move into the west wing of the building, which until then had been reserved for the city ​​museum . At Easter 1861 the grade levels were raised from four to six, and a year later, after Vogel's death, the secondary school with Karl Theodor Wagner (1808–1881) received its first independent director. In 1868 the school was recognized as a first-order secondary school. The number of students grew steadily, as early as 1872 there were problems to accommodate the number, which had grown to 628. Lower levels of the meanwhile 19 classes had to move to the old Nikolaischule from Easter of the year . On October 11, 1873, the new house in Sidonienstraße at the corner of Floßplatz (today Paul-Gruner-Straße) was inaugurated.

As early as 1883 football was played at the school under the guidance of the gymnastics teacher , so that the Petri School is considered the cradle of football in Leipzig .

In 1884 the facility was converted into a nine-year upper secondary school, which led to the Abitur, in accordance with the new royal Saxon legal regulations (changed provisions on Realschulen 1st and 2nd grade ) . From February 15th of that year it was called Realgymnasium . In 1907, a second secondary school with a grammar school orientation was built on Nordplatz in Leipzig (today the Leibnizschule ), so that the city council gave the institution the name Petrischule after its location in the parish of St. Peter's Church, built in 1885 . The school building was partially destroyed in the Second World War. After 1945 girls were also allowed to attend school, and from 1949 only grades 9–12 were taught science and language orientation. In 1959, as part of the 125th anniversary of its existence, the school was named " Georgi Dimitroff " and from 1965 it became an extended secondary school (EOS) with modern language teaching, including Spanish and Italian. In 1971 the school was split up: the higher-class EOS moved to Tarostraße (since 1992 Anton-Philipp-Reclam-Schule ), the facility in Paul-Gruner-Straße was continued as a Polytechnic High School (POS). In 1974 it was given the name " Hermann Duncker ". This was named Petri School again in 1991 and has now been run as a six-class middle school and since 2013 as a high school.

The entrance area

The Petri School building, built in the classical style, is a three-wing complex with two side buildings of different lengths. Due to the course of the road, these do not start vertically on the main building. Like the three-storey side wing, it has 19 window axes facing Paul-Gruner-Straße. The corners, emphasized by heels in the hipped roofs , protrude slightly like risalit . More than four meters after the street and the courtyard, the elevated central section, covered with a pyramid roof , emerges from the structure. It contains the entrance area designed as a five-arched loggia . The busts of Leibnitz , Goethe , Humboldt and Lessing are placed between the arches . The round arches are repeated in the high windows on the second floor. Behind it is the auditorium , which bears the name Beethovensaal .
