The Willstätter Gymnasium is a gymnasium in Nuremberg named after his former student Richard Willstätter , the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry .

history

The grammar school was founded on October 1st, 1864 as one of the first six "Royal Bavarian Realgymnasien " in the so-called "Kalkstadel" in the building yard. The Abitur of this 6-class school type entitles to study at a technical university and some university courses .

In the years 1900–1902, like elsewhere in Bavaria, an upper level was built and in 1903 the new building for the 9-class school type on the site of the former Landau monastery could be moved into. In the following decades the dominance of the technical orientation was weakened and from 1906 a "Reform-Realgymnasium" was attached to the educational institution. From 1938 to 1945 the boys' school was called the “Deutsche Oberschule am Laufer Schlagturm ” and was completely destroyed in the Second World War.

In 1956 the construction of the "Oberschule am Laufer Schlagturm" was completed. In 1965 it was according to the Hamburg Agreement in Willstätter school renamed girls were now also officially admitted to school. The namesake Willstätter was a student at the Realgymnasium from 1884 to 1890 and was suggested for the Maximilianeum after graduating from high school .

The high school reached the highest number of students in 1976 with almost 1200 students.
