Technisches Gymnasium an der Wilhelm-Maybach-Schule Heilbronn, Technical secondary school in Heilbronn, Germany
The Technisches Gymnasium at Wilhelm-Maybach-Schule is a three-year technical upper secondary school in Heilbronn's Technical School Center on Sichererstrasse. It offers four profiles: Mechatronics, Technology and Management, Information Technology, and Design and Media Technology. Around 400 students prepare for the general university entrance qualification through classroom instruction, laboratories, and workshops.
The school was established in 1969 and received its name in 1973 from Wilhelm Maybach, an automotive innovator born in Heilbronn. This naming choice connected the technical education to the city's industrial heritage.
The school serves as a gathering place where students work together on shared projects and strengthen their community bonds. Through sporting events, fundraising activities, and exchanges with schools abroad, a dynamic sense of togetherness develops among the learners.
The school is located on Sichererstrasse 177 and features extensive laboratories and workshops for hands-on learning. A team of approximately 65 teachers provides direct support to students as they work on technical projects.
In 1998 the school received a single computer with internet access, while the Technical School Centre housed around 500 machines. Head Werner Fröhlich pushed for 50 ISDN lines; the school covered part of the 450,000-mark installation cost itself, and a teacher helped with the wiring to keep costs down.
