The Realgymnasium Schottenbastei , also called Lise-Meitner-Realgymnasium "Schottenbastei", has been a Realgymnasium in Vienna's 1st district of Inner City for 150 years .

history

In 1861, the local council in Rossau , which is now in the 9th district, decided to build a lower secondary school with public rights in the parish hall No. 80. This was expanded into an upper secondary school three years later. In 1869, the first graduation year passed the school leaving examination.

In the course of the construction of Vienna's Ringstrasse , the school then moved to the first district: With the rubbing down of the bastions , prompted by the Imperial Manifesto in 1857, "the inner city must first be expanded in the direction of Rossau and Alservorstadt" . The unobstructed Vienna Glacis was thus parceled out. The area Mölkerbastei - Schottenschanze - Elendbastei was demolished in 1861. This meant that there was also room for a new school building in this newly created grid district in the Ringstrasse zone.

The groundbreaking ceremony for this took place in 1876. On September 5, 1891, Emperor Franz Joseph approved that the secondary school established by the municipality of Vienna could be taken over into the administration of the state. Together with the grammar schools, the Realschulen received new curricula in 1909 - in 1962 they were renamed Realgymnasien in the School Education Act as a branch of the AHS.

After the so-called annexation of Austria to the Third Reich in 1938, the Schottenbastei became a so-called “collective school”, in which Jewish students from all over Vienna were initially brought together. These were then expelled from school at the end of the 1937/38 school year.

After a bomb attack that hit this part of the 1st district hard in January 1945, the destruction caused the pupils and remaining teachers to move to other school buildings in the area. It was not until the school year 1948/49 that more or less regular lessons could take place in the school building on the Schottenbastei. However, it took until 1954 for the gymnasium in the courtyard, which had been destroyed by the bombing, to be put back into operation. Between 1959 and 1962 the school was completely renovated, which was urgently needed.

The neighboring building of the Juridicum of the University of Vienna set a major accent . Although the construction work affected school operations from 1970 onwards, in the end a pedestrian zone was also built in front of the school. In the decades that followed, the school building was sustainably modernized and rebuilt.

On June 20, 2000, the Bundesrealgymnasium Schottenbastei received the addition " Lise Meitner -Realgymnasium". The Realgymnasium is a partner school of the UAS Technikum Wien. Memorial plaques on the outside wall of the school building remember famous graduates.
