Wilhelmsgymnasium

The Wilhelmsgymnasium building features symmetrical shapes, decorative elements, and stone facades characteristic of Renaissance Revival architecture at Thierschstraße 46.

Duke Albert V of Bavaria established this gymnasium in 1559, making it one of the earliest educational institutions still operating in Germany.

The curriculum emphasizes classical studies, requiring students to learn Latin, Ancient Greek, and English while maintaining strong mathematics programs.

The school serves approximately 600 students between ages 10 and 18, offering education under the direction of headmaster Michael Hotz.

Between 2015 and 2018, classes continued at temporary locations while the historic building underwent complete renovation to modernize facilities.
