Mädchenlyzeum#

Maedchenlyzeum, school type introduced in 1900 to ensure the uniform organisation of secondary education for girls. Since the young women who had attended this school were restricted to the status of non-degree programme students at university, these schools were only popular for a very short time (27 schools in 1911). Even the introduction of the women´s upper secondary school (Frauenoberschule) building on the lower secondary level of the Maedchenlyzeum, could not prevent the abolition of the latter in 1922 (the last Maedchenlyzeum was closed down in 1928).
