Städtisches Luisengymnasium München

The Luisengymnasium is located in the Maxvorstadt district of Munich near the main train station at Luisenstraße 7. The school is centrally located on the Old Botanical Garden in the immediate vicinity of Stachus and Königsplatz.

Founded in 1822 as the "School for Higher Daughters" and co-educational since 1969, it is Munich's oldest municipal high school and one of the few schools with its own school constitution. The Luisengymnasium is named after Princess Ludovika Wilhelmine of Bavaria, who later became Duchess Luise. She was the daughter of Maximilian I. Joseph and mother of the legendary Sisi. She was very influential and enjoyed tremendous prestige. In 1812, Gartenstrasse, which was then on the outskirts of the city, was renamed Luisenstrasse in her honor. The school was founded by Simon Spitzweg, the father of the famous painter Carl Spitzweg.
