history

The construction of the school began in 1906, and in 1907 the first lessons took place in the newly founded Wittelsbacher Gymnasium. The cadet corps on the neighboring Marsfeld was incorporated as a real high school branch after its dissolution in 1920. From 1938 to 1945 the school was named Wittelsbach Oberschule for Boys. In 1944 the gym wing was destroyed by bombs and rebuilt in 1958/59. After the destruction of the Munich schools in World War II , the school building of the Wittelsbacher Gymnasium , which was now again so named, also housed the bombed-out Ludwigs-Realschule (since 1965 Erasmus-Grasser-Gymnasium , from 1938 to 1945 sometimes called Oberschule on Damenstiftstraße ) and also the bombed-out Ludwigsgymnasium . The building, which later belonged to the Wittelsbacher Gymnasium again, was comprehensively renovated between 1963 and 1965, and teaching was temporarily outsourced to the Gisela Oberrealschule (now the Gisela Gymnasium ). Girls were accepted for the first time in the 1974/75 school year, and an extension was completed in 1981. In 2017-2019, the subject rooms for natural sciences and large parts of the grammar school were renovated.
