Mädchenschule, Educational heritage monument in Coburg, Germany

The Mädchenschule is a school building in Coburg from the early 19th century featuring symmetrically arranged windows and classical Bavarian construction details. The structure displays the solid, well-proportioned design typical of educational buildings from that era.

The school traces its founding to 11 November 1806, when Duke Franz Friedrich Anton of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld allowed Ehregott Wilhelm Gottlieb Bagge's private school to add a teacher-training seminar; the French administration closed it in 1807 but Bagge had the closure reversed that same year. In 1835 it was named Ernst-Albert-Seminar after the confirmation of princes Ernst and Albert. In 1935 a six-year Deutsche Aufbauschule for boys and girls was created from the seminar school and the Alexandrinenschule girls' lyceum, led by Franz Heimberger.

The school's name recalls the 1835 confirmation of princes Ernst and Albert, later Duke Ernst II and Prince Consort of Queen Victoria. A separate old-boys' association, the Ernesto-Albertina, was founded on 12 June 1920 by pupils with help from deputy head Karl Güntzel; it is not an official part of the school. The building also houses a three-manual organ by Thomas Wolf, inaugurated with a concert on 25 July 2006.

The building can be visited on certain open days, with guided tours available through the Coburg Tourist Office. It helps to check ahead for opening times and accessibility information.

The school building on Untere Anlage was built in 1901–1902 to plans by Leipzig architect Alfred Ludwig for the Alexandrinenschule and inaugurated on 18 August 1902. It is a four-storey two-wing complex; a hall and specialist rooms were added in 1966 and 1981, and a further extension with a multi-purpose room in 2006–2007.
