Helene-Lange-Gymnasium Markgröningen, Secondary school in Markgröningen, Germany.
Helene-Lange-Gymnasium Markgröningen occupies a former palace building where it educates students from grades 7 through 13. The school houses classrooms, art studios, and music facilities within these historical walls.
The former residence, an Oberamtei building and a workhouse were handed over in May 1873 to the Royal Teacher Training Seminary with an attached orphanage. The seminary ran until 1935, when it moved to Esslingen. From April 1935 to March 1945 an Aufbauschule with boarding school occupied the complex; after use by Allied forces it became a Helene-Lange-Schule in 1954, and in 1988 the state transferred the site to a school association of city and district.
The school is named after Helene Lange, a pedagogue and women's rights campaigner. Its musical-artistic profile starts in grade 9, with four weekly hours in either art or music as the chosen major subject and two hours in the other. Participation in a musical-artistic working group is compulsory for all pupils from grades 7 to 11.
The school grounds comprise the former residence palace, a culture and sports hall, and the palace garden. Lessons run from year 7 to year 13, with supervised all-day care and a school library plus workrooms for homework. The site lies in Markgröningen in the Ludwigsburg district; the school is run by a joint association of the town and district.
The school grounds include the former residence palace, a culture and sports hall, and the palace garden, all transferred by the state of Baden-Württemberg to the new school association in 1988. The site had earlier housed a teachers' seminary with an orphanage from 1873.
