history
The school emerged in 1965 from the “Oberrealschule mit Gymnasium” (founded in 1874), which was located at today's Theo-Betz-Platz. The Special Education Center (SFZ), a special needs school for children with learning disabilities, is located here today .
When space problems arose in the 1970s due to the high number of schoolchildren, a new building was built on Dr.-Grundler-Straße, which was occupied in 1977.
The Willibald-Gluck-Gymnasium emerged from the natural science branch, the Ostendorfer-Gymnasium emerged from the old-language branch in the immediate vicinity.
An extension was built from 1997 to 1999 due to the steady increase in the number of students since the foundation. In the 2006 school year, a cafeteria was built that is shared with the Ostendorfer Gymnasium. Since the 2015/2016 school year, lessons have been held in the new building at Woffenbacher Str. 33. It was built from 2013.
