History
It was founded in 1953 by Bishop Michael Keller as an Internat (all-boys boarding school), in order to educate about 100 students for the priesthood. It had a fee of 100 Marks.
In April 1964 it was changed to a high school. In 1965 the school building at Gerlever Weg was built. Girls were admitted starting in 1969, and in the same year a building was erected for up to 300 students. In 1976 it became a Gymnasium. In 1979, the last of the boarding students left, and the following year a major expansion to the buildings was made.
