School History

The Friderico-Francisceum school was started on April 21, 1879. It was named after its founder, Frederick Francis II.. He was a powerful ruler, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.

For many years, only boys went to this school. Girls were first allowed to attend in 1927.

From 1947 to 1991, during the time when Germany was divided into East and West, the school had a different name. It was called the “Goethe School” during the GDR period.

Since 2011, Birgit Hacker has been the head teacher (or principal) of the school.

School Buildings

The main building of the Friderico-Francisceum was finished in 1889. The person who designed this building was an architect named Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel.

As more and more students wanted to attend the school, a new building was needed. A modern school building was opened behind the old one in 2001. This new addition helped the school welcome more students.
