history

Girls' school in Münzgasse d. H. on the square behind the collegiate church (pencil drawing by Carl Wüst, 1864)

The Wildermuthgymnasium was founded in 1896 as a " higher girls' school " in Münzgasse in Tübingen. This school emerged from the initially private “Institute for Confirmed Daughters” founded by Ferdinand Kommerell in 1860 . After the Tübingen community council had decided in 1906 and 1910 to build a “higher school for girls”, the building construction department carried out plans for a new building in 1912 to 1914. Even if these plans could not be implemented for the time being due to the First World War and inflation , the higher girls 'school was converted into a "girls' secondary school" as early as 1914.

In 1925, final plans for the construction of the girls' secondary school were drawn up, completed on August 2, 1926, and construction began. The building, which cost 510,000 Reichsmarks , was inaugurated on December 16, 1927 and still serves as the old school building of today's Wildermuth-Gymnasium.

During the Second World War , the German Wehrmacht was housed in the building in 1944 , and at the end of the war in 1945 the school building became the French "Wehrmacht building". The lessons were now initially carried out in the neighboring Uhland grammar school . From 1953 onwards, classes were held in the old building, which was now called the “secondary school for girls”.

In 1970, co-education was introduced in the grammar school and boys were also admitted to school. Due to the increasing number of students, expansions were necessary, so that in 1974 a new extension was acquired. At times, the grammar school with 1700 students was the largest in Baden-Württemberg.

In 1973 its own music train was introduced, in 1998 the school participated in pilot projects with its own G8 train to the 8-year-old grammar school. In 2000/2001, Spanish was offered as a third foreign language. Due to the extensions, a further extension with four classrooms was put into operation in 2004. In 2010 two more classrooms were added.

Currently (as of 2017) around 1040 students are taught at Wildermuth-Gymnasium.
