The Stephaneum Aschersleben grammar school is a grammar school in Aschersleben ( Saxony-Anhalt ). June 29, 1325 is assumed to be the day the school was founded, as this is where the first documentary mention exists. The main church of St. Stephen , consecrated to St. Stephen in the oldest documented town in Saxony-Anhalt, gave the institution its name.

history

In the late Middle Ages the subjects of theology, rhetoric, history, poetry, music and the languages ​​Latin, Greek, Hebrew and French were on the curriculum. Thomas Müntzer was a teacher at this school at this time in the late Middle Ages.

In 1851, the school was added to the series of higher institutions that had the right to delegate students to the royal Berlin building academy . English has been taught since 1860. In 1864, the Stephaneum Realschule was allowed to call itself 1st order . In 1875, a new school building on the promenade ring near the cloister courtyard was completed. This location is still the seat of the school to this day. In 1882 the school became a secondary school. In 1913 the school was expanded to include a neo-classical auditorium with a stucco ceiling and wall panels. For the 600th anniversary of the Latin School, the auditorium was furnished in 1925 with colored glass windows by the painter and graphic artist Walter Buhe from Aschersleber; an organ was also installed. In the period from 1953 to 1990 the school was called Extended Oberschule Thomas Müntzer . In 1991 it was renamed the Stephaneum Gymnasium . After profiling as a school with a European orientation, the Stephaneum was awarded the title European School in 1997 by the Ministry of Culture of the State of Saxony-Anhalt .
