Name and story
The school was founded on April 28, 1965 as the "Staatliches Gymnasium Diez". It was renamed in 1996 after Sophie Hedwig von Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1592–1642), wife of Count Ernst Casimir (Nassau-Dietz) . The name is intended to commemorate the civil courage of the Duchess during the Thirty Years' War when she protected the townspeople of Diez from the Swedish troops.
The school and the “Theodissa Realschule plus Diez” belong to the Diez school center.
Lessons offered
It is a general high school sponsored by the Rhein-Lahn district that leads to the Abitur in nine years.
