Matthias-Grünewald-Gymnasium Würzburg

What Matthias-Grünewald-Gymnasium Würzburg does

Matthias-Grünewald-Gymnasium Würzburg (MGGW) is a coeducational public Gymnasium (academic secondary school) located in Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany, founded in 1628 and operated under the Bavarian educational authority. The school operates two main tracks — a musical branch and a language branch — and is distinguished by offering Bavaria's only Musischer ExzellenzZweig (Musical Excellence Track) for musically talented students. Its academic portfolio is supplemented by a Ganztagesbetreuung (all-day care/day boarding service operating until at least 16:00), a full Internat (boarding school) for students whose families cannot provide daily care, and an on-site Mensa providing freshly prepared meals.

The school supplements classroom instruction with extracurricular offerings including a Drama Club, student exchange programs (notably with Institution Sainte Marie in Caen, France), language competitions, and P-Seminar projects. It maintains a dense partnership network spanning the Hochschule für Musik Würzburg (teacher training), Roland Berger Stiftung, Deutsche Telekom Stiftung (Junior Ingenieur Akademie for STEM), DELF/DALF (French language certification), Jugend debattiert, Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage, and Gute-Gesunde-Schule Bayern. Technology footprint is limited to a content website and an Eltern-Portal parent communication portal; no proprietary AI/ML or digital learning platform is disclosed.

As a state-funded public institution, the school is not commercially operated: Gymnasium education is tuition-free under the Bavarian system, while the Internat collects undisclosed boarding fees. Leadership consists of Headmaster OStD Dr. Holger Saurenbach, Deputy Headmaster StD Sebastian Singer, and Directorate staff member StDin Britta Habersack. The entity reports a headcount of 6 (administrative/leadership only), operates from Zwerchgraben 1 with a secondary Internat facility at Voglerstraße 24, and is supported by the Förderverein Alumni Grünewald alumni association.

Others
