The school opened as Lyceum II in 1919 . In 1929 the college for girls was affiliated. Today's listed building was inaugurated on December 11, 1929. Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805) has been the namesake of the school since 1937 . In 1942 the building was converted into the Gauleitung Westfalen-Süd of the NSDAP in order to serve as the administration of the Aral until 1952 . After a ten-year break, school operations began again in 1952. In 1953 a small observatory was built. The Association of Friends and Supporters of the Schiller School in Bochum e.
