!!!Wirtschaftskundliches Realgymnasium

Wirtschaftskundliches Realgymnasium, upper secondary school which 
emerged from the Frauen-Oberschule upper secondary school for women 
founded in 1921. In addition to teaching academic subjects (only one 
foreign language), it intended to cater for the "special 
characteristics of women and their cultural tasks" by putting the 
main emphasis on subjects such as child care, dressmaking, cooking and 
housekeeping.(8 forms since 1927, 2%%sup nd/%  foreign language since 
1935). In 1962, it was renamed "Wirtschaftskundliches 
Realgymnasium fuer Maedchen" ("for girls") and kept its 
stereotypically "female" subjects. In 1988, the reference to 
women in the name of the school type was removed; however, a major 
part of the stereotypical subjects remained.
