Königin-Mathilde-Gymnasium Herford
Königin-Mathilde-Gymnasium Herford, Historic gymnasium in Herford, Germany.
The Königin-Mathilde-Gymnasium is a secondary school in Herford located at Vlothoer Straße 1, housing approximately 900 students within a heritage-protected building. The school operates with around 69 teachers and provides instruction across multiple academic disciplines.
The institution was founded in 1833 as a private girls' school with about 26 students and underwent several mergers over the decades. It became a state-run upper secondary institution by 1928, with the current building erected in 1929.
The school bears the name of Saint Mathilde, who was educated at the Herford convent during the medieval period, connecting the institution to the city's religious learning traditions. This naming reflects an ongoing commitment to the scholarly heritage that has defined educational values in Herford for centuries.
The school is housed in a heritage-protected building that formerly served as a teacher training seminary, which shapes its architectural character. Classes run from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with instruction available in subjects including English, French, Biology, Mathematics, Physics, German, and Social Sciences.
The current building, constructed in 1929, originally housed the Herforder Lehrerseminar, which trained teachers before being converted into a secondary school. This conversion demonstrates how regional educational facilities adapted their purpose to meet changing community needs.
