Why does the Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium bear the name of an emperor? We are standing before a school steeped in history, the Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium. Established in 1586 as Collegium Ernestinum, it initially served as a seminary and a beacon of knowledge for eager young minds. However, it wasn’t until 1965 that it adopted its current name, honoring Emperor Heinrich II, son of Heinrich der Zänker, Duke of Bavaria. This change marked a turning point for the Kaiser-Heinrich-Gymnasium. It opened its doors to female students and those of Protestant faith, a significant departure from its previous exclusivity for Catholic boys. Today, the modern building stands as a testament to the school’s evolution while carrying the legacy of its long and illustrious past. The spirit of Heinrich II, a forward-thinking ruler who appreciated education, seems to permeate these halls.
