history

School history

The grammar school was founded on September 18, 1912 as the " Higher Girls' School " and achieved the status of a lyceum in the school year 1923/24 . After the number of female pupils had declined significantly in the mid-1980s, co-education was introduced for the 1988/89 school year and, for the first time, boys were admitted as pupils.

In 1963, Chinese was offered as an elective course for the first time in Germany.

Since 2002 the St.-Anna-Gymnasium has participated in the pilot project " MODUS21 ", funded by the Bavarian Education Pact Foundation, to promote more independence and entrepreneurial thinking in schools, which was carried out in cooperation with the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture .

Currently (2015/16 school year) the school is attended by 730 pupils.

Building history

The school building was built in 1911/12 according to plans by Robert Rehlen on the site of the former town saw as a three-winged complex in the historicizing style, open to the west. 1929–1930, an extension was built at the west end of the north wing on Liebigstrasse according to plans by Hermann Leitenstorfer in a more functional style.

From 2006 to 2010, the building was completely refurbished parallel to normal school operations. The attic was expanded to expand the usable space and an extension with six classrooms and ancillary rooms was built, which connects the north and south wings of the old building on the west side in an elevated construction. During the general renovation, a separate hydropower plant was built in the school's basement .

The school building consists of the three-winged old building and the new building in front of it in the west.

The north facade on Liebigstrasse has a three-axis, five-storey gable front on the left, which indicates the face of the east wing. Two arcade arches on the ground floor, on the right with the entrance door, on the left with a large window, are clad with natural stone. Above the arches is a relief frieze with a unicorn, a lion and the year of construction 1912. The three windows on the first floor are separated from one another by stone pillars, with allegorical figures to the right and left. The gable front is closed off by a tail gable.

To the west (to the right) is the six-axis, four-storey facade of the north wing, which has a gable roof. The high school's auditorium is on the first floor, so the four middle windows extend over two floors. The facade is divided by two wide horizontal bands: the first connects to the gable front above the ground floor, the second extends above the second floor across the gable front and north wing. The lower band is provided with flat octagonal fields, the upper one like a parapet with small columns. On the ridge sits a roof turret with copper spire . The four-axle, five-storey extension from 1929 with a mansard roof adjoins it again to the west . The gymnasium of the high school is located here on the ground floor.

The south facade at St.-Anna-Platz also has a five-storey gable front with a tail gable, which protrudes trapezoidally, on the right side as the end of the east wing. This is followed to the west (to the left) by the ten-axis, three-storey facade of the south wing, which has a mansard hipped roof . A four-story entrance building follows further to the west. A staircase leads up to the natural stone-framed entrance. The facades facing the courtyard are designed similarly to the exterior facades. A continuous design motif are differently designed blind arches (semicircular or double-arched) over the windows of the first and second floors.

From the west side of the south wing, a fully glazed two-storey new building leads to the extension from 1929.

Hydroelectric power plant

The hydropower plant in the basement of the school building draws its energy from a water wheel that is driven by the Stadtsägmühlbach, which runs underground under the east wing . A historical undershot water wheel was deliberately used, as it was originally used in the mills operated by the Munich city streams .

The power plant has an electrical output of 20 kW and supplies 170 MWh of electrical energy per year. The school library is heated with the heat generated by the generator.
