Why is this school named after a family of architects? You might wonder as you stand before the imposing Dientzenhofer-Gymnasium in Bamberg. This grand institution, you see, owes its name to the renowned Dientzenhofer family, a dynasty of master builders who left their Baroque mark all over Franconia, and indeed, Bavaria. The Dientzenhofer-Gymnasium, established in 1966, stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of education and architectural grandeur. Interestingly, it’s not just a place for traditional subjects. This school is a beacon of science and technology, even being recognized as part of the prestigious MINT-EC network. But there’s more to discover: the Dientzenhofer-Gymnasium boasts a unique accolade. It holds the title of the first school in Upper Franconia, and only the second in all of Germany, to be certified under the EU Eco-Audit scheme. Year after year, since 2003, it has been awarded the “Environmental School in Europe” distinction, a testament to its commitment to sustainability.
