The Maximiliansgymnasium Munich (commonly known as "Max") is a coeducational humanistic gymnasium located in the Schwabing district of Munich. It is the third-oldest gymnasium in the city and also designated as a European school. The school not only focuses on traditional subjects like Latin (starting from the fifth grade) and Ancient Greek (starting from the eighth grade) but also places significant emphasis on English (starting from the sixth grade) and Spanish (optional from the tenth grade) along with the natural sciences.

The school building is recognized as a historical monument.

Principal

The current principal is Thomas Bednar, who assumed the role on February 14, 2020.

Location

Max is situated in the Schwabing district of Munich, at Karl-Theodor-Straße 9.

History

On May 12, 1849, Maximilian II of Bavaria, as part of the Neohumanistic movement, established the Royal Maximilians-Gymnasium as the third gymnasium in Munich, alongside the existing Wilhelmsgymnasium and Ludwigsgymnasium. This marked a significant development in humanistic education in Bavaria.

The school faced space constraints towards the end of the 19th century, and additional classrooms had to be rented to accommodate the growing number of students. In the early 20th century, the school's building was transformed to address these issues.

During World War I, the building was requisitioned by the military, and it served as a military hospital during the war. After the war, the school resumed its operations.

In the era of National Socialism, the school's basement was converted into an air-raid shelter. In 1941, during World War II, the building was again used as a hospital, and classes were held in the Realgymnasium building. The school faced significant destruction during air raids in 1942 and 1943.

After the war, the building was used to house refugees, and the school had to operate in challenging conditions due to the lack of heating. It wasn't until 1949 that classes resumed in the original building.

"Max and Oskar"

Maximiliansgymnasium shares a friendly rivalry with the neighboring Oskar-von-Miller-Gymnasium. Both schools collaborate closely on various educational initiatives, demonstrating a harmonious relationship.

Building

The school building, shared with Oskar-von-Miller-Gymnasium, forms a prominent landmark in Schwabing, Munich. It features a distinctive yellow color and a 48-meter tower, making it easily recognizable.

The school building has also been a notable location for various film and television productions.

Notable Alumni and Faculty

Prominent individuals who have attended or taught at Maximiliansgymnasium include Nobel laureates Max Planck and Werner Heisenberg, as well as political figures such as Franz Josef Strauß and Bernhard Vogel. The school has also produced successful artists like Michael Ende. Notably, Ernst Röhm, a prominent SA leader, graduated from the school. Pope Benedict XVI (formerly known as Joseph Ratzinger) is also an alumnus of Maximiliansgymnasium.
