The Pirckheimer Gymnasium is a science, technology and language high school in Nuremberg .

history

Due to the new densification of settlements and expansion in the south of Nuremberg, the decision was made in the second half of the 1960s to build a new grammar school in the south of the city. In particular, the new grammar school should relieve the previous four mathematical and scientific grammar schools Dürer grammar school , Hans Sachs grammar school , Martin Behaim grammar school and Sigena grammar school .

Since the city was obliged under the School Financing Act to organize the necessary premises for a new state high school, the Free State of Bavaria was given the school building at Gibitzenhofstrasse 151 in the Gibitzenhof district and completed it by a resolution of the School and Culture Committee on February 23, 1968 the new school with up to 28 classes by the school year 1976/77.

On August 1, 1968, the grammar school was officially opened with the addition (under construction) and at the beginning of the school year 1968/69 the first three fifth grades with 114 students were formed under the direction of grammar school professor Otto Lorenz. The parents of the first year, who had already registered their children at another grammar school, had been asked to register them at the new school. During the first school year there were still eight elementary school classes in the school building and 13 classrooms were used by the Sigena secondary school.

building

The Gibitzenhof school building, which is now a listed building, was completely completed in 1905, after additions and extensions to the small community school building from 1882 were made in 1901/02 and initially served as a primary school . During the First World War, the schoolhouse served as a military mass quarters for a short time. During the Weimar Republic, the lighting was modernized and a youth care center was added. During the Second World War, the building, like other schools, was used as a barracks or hospital and teaching took place in shifts. In 1944 the house was slightly damaged in air raids , in 1945 the north-western part was almost completely destroyed. Due to the destruction, the students were referred to the partially usable building of the Herschel School when classes were resumed in 1945. It was not until 1957 that the schoolhouse was completely refurbished for the planned establishment of the new grammar school. However, since additional premises were required for the complete construction of a new grammar school, Department IV submitted a building application on October 26, 1968 to expand the gymnasium and build a north and south wing. This was approved by the organization office on June 24, 1970, so that the completion took place in 1973.

Naming

The name Gymnasium Nürnberg (Gibitzenhofstraße) for the new school, which can be read in the edition of the Bavarian State Gazette of July 12, 1968 , met with little approval from teachers, pupils and parents from the start. So an initiative was founded to look for a namesake, who should be a great Nuremberg scientist who is connected to the southern urban development. In addition to the items still on the shortlist Georg Philipp Harsdörffer and Regiomontanus , not least, the well-known decided on the basis of Caritas Pirckheimer for Willibald Pirckheimer as a name. The school's application to use the name Pirckheimer-Gymnasium Nürnberg was granted by the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture on December 5, 1970.
