Maximiliansgymnasium München
Maximiliansgymnasium München, Public secondary school in Schwabing district, Munich, Germany
Description
The Maximiliansgymnasium is a secondary school in Munich housed in a striking yellow building with stone lions guarding its monumental staircase. Located on Karl-Theodor-Straße in northern Munich, this institution currently educates approximately 670 students and operates under the city's educational administration.
History
King Maximilian II of Bavaria founded the school in 1849, creating an institution dedicated to classical education. After decades at its original monastery location, the school relocated to its present yellow building in 1912.
Culture
Classical language instruction forms the heart of daily school life, with students beginning Latin in their first year and later studying ancient Greek. This focus reflects a tradition rooted in the school's founding philosophy, visible in how the curriculum shapes student experience.
Practical
The building at Karl-Theodor-Straße 9 is visible from the street, but most areas are school grounds not open to public visitors. You can admire the yellow facade and stone lions from the sidewalk outside.
Did you know?
Two Nobel Prize winners studied as students here: physicist Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg both attended before their groundbreaking work in science. Their presence within these walls connects the school to major developments in modern physics.
