Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld

The Ratsgymnasium Bielefeld occupies several buildings, including one designed in Weserrenaissance style at Nebelswall 1 in the city center. The school complex brings together different structures from various periods in a central location.

The school was founded in 1293 as a Latin school at the Marienstift and ranks among North Rhine-Westphalia's oldest educational institutions. It underwent various transformations over centuries, reflected in its different buildings.

The school serves as a place of international connection through student exchanges with partner institutions in England and France. These relationships shape school life and bring perspectives from other countries into the learning environment.

The school offers students afternoon lunch services, homework assistance, and supplementary learning programs throughout the week. These services support students during their school day and extend their learning environment beyond regular classes.

A section called Grest'sche Hof dates to 1300 and represents a rare surviving example of medieval school architecture. This part preserves traces of early academic life from the Middle Ages.
