Werner-von-Siemens- Gymnasium

What Werner-von-Siemens- Gymnasium does

Werner-von-Siemens-Gymnasium Regensburg (WvSG) is a state-maintained public Gymnasium located at Brennesstraße 4, 93059 Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany, operated by the city of Regensburg under the Bavarian educational system. The school delivers university-preparatory secondary education from grade 5 through the Abitur (grades Q11–Q13), organized into three tracks: a natural sciences-technology branch (naturwissenschaftlich-technologischer Zweig), an economics branch (wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Zweig), and a languages branch (sprachlicher Zweig). It is led by Principal Dr. Berthold Freytag (OStD) and does not charge tuition.

The school's product surface extends beyond the standard Gymnasium curriculum to include a bilingual AbiBac program (yielding both the German Abitur and the French Baccalauréat, first graduating cohort 2022), MINT-EC STEM-excellence network membership, a DFB-certified Leistungsstützpunkt football program (since 2000/01, partnered with SSV Jahn Regensburg), and Erasmus+ exchanges with partners in France (Lycée Lucie Aubrac, Courbevoie) and Romania (Colegiul Național G. Coșbuc). Additional offerings include theater and music programs, chess and rope skipping teams, an InGym integration program, Offene Ganztagsschule after-school care, Schulsanitätsdienst (student first aid), and civic-engagement programs under the 'Schule ohne Rassismus' banner. Operational technology is limited to the WebUntis platform for scheduling and parent communication; no proprietary technology stack or commercial product is built.

The institution is funded entirely by Bavarian state and city-of-Regensburg educational budgets, supplemented by modest parental contributions for trips and extracurricular activities. There are no investors, no equity instruments, and no commercial revenue. Its distribution is governed by the official Bavarian Übertritt placement process, with intake events for prospective 5th-grade families. Brand association with the Siemens name — through a formal Partner Schule relationship with Siemens AG — provides intangible differentiation that is unusual for a public school and reinforces its STEM positioning.
