Stadtgymnasium Detmold is a Gymnasium (grammar school) in Detmold, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the second oldest Gymnasium in Detmold and was founded in 1830.

History

At the beginning of March 1830, General Superintendent Ferdinand Weerth proposed to his sovereign Prince Leopold II a plan to found a "daughter school" in Detmold, which he approved on 10 March 1830. He approved it on 10 March 1830. In the following decades the "daughter school" developed up to the present city grammar school: From 1871 the school was called "Höhere Töchterschule", from 1893 "Städtische Höhere Mädchenschule" (after takeover by the city), from 1912 "Städtisches Lyzeum", from 1928 "Städtische Oberlyzeum", from 1938 "Städtische Oberschule für Mädchen", from 1950 "Städtisches neusprachliches Mädchengymnasium mit Frauenoberschule", from 1960 "Städtisches Mädchengymnasium Detmold mit neusprachlichem und sozialwissenschaftlichem Zweig und Frauenoberschule" and finally from 1966 "Stadtgymnasium Detmold". The school moved three times: from 1830 to 1831 it was located at Hornschen Tor (Leopoldsstraße), from 1840 to 1871 at Exterstraße and from 1871 to 1966 Am Wall, where it was rebuilt in 1911. Since 1966 it has been located as the Detmold Stadtgymnasium at Hiddeser Berg, in a building designed by the Osnabrück architect Friederich Helbrecht, which next to the school building has an external specialist wing for biology, chemistry, physics and art, which can be reached via a red closed bridge. Under the building there was an emergency hospital until the end of the 1990s. The rooms of the former military hospital have been used by the city archives since 2015. The original building, consisting of the main building, the specialist wing and the gymnasium, was first supplemented by another gymnasium and then by a classroom building.

Today

Stadtgymnasium Detmold attaches great importance to education in modern languages, music, art, natural sciences, mathematics and social sciences. In December 2016 Stadtgymnasium was recognised as a European School by the Ministry of Education of North Rhine-Westphalia.[1]
