history

founding

The grammar school goes back to today's Labenwolf grammar school , the forerunner of which was founded in 1823 as a secondary school for daughters . After an association in 1898 with the established in 1842 Portsche Institute for Municipal Secondary School for Girls School after the Second World War as a girls secondary school continued. Due to the rapidly growing number of pupils, one was forced to set up a branch of the existing girls ' high school in March 1948 in the former and almost rebuilt building of the Wilhelm Löhe school at Zeltnerstraße 19 in Tafelhof , which had been run independently as girls' high school II from September 1, 1950 .

Own building

However, since these rooms were increasingly needed by the Wilhelm-Löhe-Schule, a separate school building was built in the following years, right next to the Gibitzenhof schoolhouse (today: Pirckheimer-Gymnasium ), in which some classes of the school were temporarily housed . The new building by the architect Friedrich Seegy was ready to move into at the beginning of the 1957/58 school year and was officially inaugurated on February 27, 1958 by the then mayor of Nuremberg, Andreas Urschlechter, and the then director Martin Lange. With the inauguration of the new building which was Mächenoberrealschule II were, in Sigena-Gymnasium named.

Planned closure

From 1965 to 1971, in addition to the natural sciences, technology and language , the school also had a social science branch, which was then attached to the Johannes-Scharrer-Gymnasium . When boys were first accepted in the 1975/76 school year, mixed-sex lessons began at the school. Due to the poor financial situation of the city of Nuremberg at the beginning of the 1980s, the first time to close the school was considered in 1983 and this was finally decided by the city council on May 6, 1992. From the 1992/93 school year onwards, no new entrance classes were formed before the newly elected city council passed a resolution on May 2, 1996 preventing the closure. In doing so, he anticipated a referendum launched in 1995 to maintain the school, so that new entry classes were formed again from the 1996/97 school year.
