The Tilesius-Gymnasium is a state high school in Mühlhausen in Thuringia . It is named after the Mühlhausen naturalist Wilhelm Gottlieb Tilesius von Tilenau (1769–1857).
history
The Tilesius Gymnasium is the oldest still existing secondary school in Mühlhausen and originally emerged from the city school founded in 1542 in the Franciscan monastery on Kornmarkt (1543–1547). With the defeat of the Schmalkaldic League in 1547, the end of this Protestant school seemed sealed.
When the Lutheran Reformation was reintroduced in Mühlhausen in 1557 after the peace in Augsburg , the first superintendent Hieronymus Tilesius immediately demanded the reopening of the city school. In 1563 the new school building in the courtyard of the Blasius Church was inaugurated . From there, the facility moved to Neue Straße 10 in 1580 (under the name Gymnasium since 1626). In 1841 another move took place to Brückenstraße 32. After the lower level had already been organizationally separated from the actual grammar school, the new building was also spatially separated. While the southern part of the building was used by the grammar school, the new boys' middle school was housed in the northern part . Finally, in 1870 the grammar school moved again to the building at Lindenbühl 61, which is now used by the local history museum. In 1927, the school, which had meanwhile been reorganized as a reform real grammar school, finally moved to the building at An der Burg 19, which is still in use today.
Even if the first female pupils can be found in the school documents before the Second World War, the facility at that time was actually still a boys' school, as the name Oberschule für boys, which has been in use since 1938, makes clear. It was not until 1946 that separate classes for boys and girls were officially abandoned, which was mainly due to the lack of teachers after the dismissal of 241 former NSDAP members. In 1959 the high school was renamed Extended Oberschule (since 1975 Extended Oberschule Erich Weinert ).
Since the restructuring of the schools after reunification in 1990/91, the Tilesius-Gymnasium has consisted of two school parts, on the one hand the Georgiischule building , which is used by grades 5 to 9, and the An der Burg building , which is used by grades 10 until 12 is used.
