Athénée de Luxembourg

The Athénée de Luxembourg has a long history. In the course of a renovation the signage of the doors, the planning of the escape routes as well as a mailbox stele in individual design including a fire department key depot were realized.

The school was founded in 1603 as a Jesuit college. The school was closed in 1794 with the occupation of the Luxembourg Fortress by French revolutionary troops. The buildings served first as a prison, later as a depot, barracks and finally as a military hospital. After the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg had regained independence in 1815 through the Congress of Vienna, the school was again transformed into Athénée Royal (Royal Athenaeum) in 1817. In the course of the 19th century, several reforms repeatedly changed the orientation of the school, including scientific, medical and philosophical branches; in 1892, a school for business and industry was separated from the Athenaeum.
In 1964, the school moved from the buildings erected at the beginning of the 17th century in Luxembourg's old town to new buildings outside the city center. Subsequently, other schools also moved there and formed the Geesseknäppchen campus. In 1968, general coeducation was introduced as part of a school reform. Today, 1300 students attend secondary school, but by the early 2000s the building from 1964 proved to be too small. In June 2011 the construction of a provisional building was started, which was completed in 2012. The building, which stands out with its strikingly colorful exterior facade, was designed by Bruck + Weckerle Architects.
Since 2013 the building from 1964 has been renovated. Among other things, new classrooms were created, accessibility for people with disabilities was improved, the sanitary facilities were completely renewed and the outside area was completely redesigned. In addition, energy efficiency and fire safety measures have been adapted to meet current standards.
