Dillmann-Gymnasium

What Dillmann-Gymnasium does

Dillmann-Gymnasium is a public state-funded Gymnasium (academic secondary school) located at Forststraße 43, Stuttgart, Germany, operated by the municipal education system. Founded in 1867 by school reformer Christian Heinrich Dillmann (originally as the Stuttgarter Realgymnasium, renamed in 1926), the school serves approximately 580-600 students in Classes 5-12/13 with a teaching staff of about 60. The educational offering consists of two parallel entry tracks: the Latin-English Track (Latein-Englisch-Zug) and the Bilingual English Track (Englisch-Bilingualer Zug), with the unique 'Dillmanngabel' choice in Class 8 between a Natural Sciences Profile (NWT — Naturwissenschaft und Technik) and a Linguistic Profile (Spanish as third foreign language).

The school's technical infrastructure comprises a TYPO3-based public website, a Moodle-based learning management system (Dillmann-Moodle), the protected Dillmann Portal for grades and schedules, WebUntis for timetable management, digital whiteboards, and the school@BW platform. Supplementary services include OPC-ASP-managed Mensa meals, CleverReach-powered newsletters, and SimplyBook.me appointment booking. The product portfolio extends beyond classroom instruction to the Dillmann-SQUIDEE talent development programme (with Juniorstudium partnerships at Hochschule Heilbronn and HFT Stuttgart, CyberMentoring, and MINT girls' support) and a structured Sozialcurriculum (social-emotional learning curriculum) across all grade levels.

The business model is government funding: as a public Gymnasium in Baden-Württemberg, no tuition is charged. The institution is complemented by two external supporting organizations — the Dillmann-Verein e.V. (a registered association with 500+ members of alumni, parents, and teachers paying annual dues) and the Dillmann-Stiftung Stuttgart (a charitable foundation established in 2004 by former students providing supplementary funding for facilities and school prizes). Revenue diversification is minimal, with ancillary income from Mensa meal transactions and Verein membership dues. The school maintains international student exchanges with partner schools in France (Lycée Camille Pissarro, Pontoise), Spain (Colegio San Vicente Ferrer Dominicos, Valencia), and Singapore (Raffles Institution), and holds the 'Partnerschule für Europa' designation from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Education.
