The Gymnasium Wasagasse (''Bundesgymnasium Wien IX'', in short ''BG9'') is a secondary school in Alsergrund, the 9th district of Vienna. Alumni of the school include two Nobel laureates, an Academy Award winner and many notable politicians, artists and scientists. == History== Planned by Heinrich von Ferstel, the ''Wasagymnasium'' was built between 1869 and 1871 and was officially inaugurated on the 16th of October, 1871. For many decades the school was popular amongst the cultured Jewish bourgeoisie. In 1900, around 70% of the students were Jewish, whereas in 1938 there were only around 50% Jewish students. The Anschluss to the Third Reich put an end to this in 1938 and the school was relocated. Instead, the Gau administration of the Reichsgau Niederdonau used the school building as its headquarters. In the meanwhile, the ''Wasagymnasium'' used the school building of the ''Schottengymnasium'', which was shut down by the Nazis, from 1938 until 1945. In 2007, a group of students and their teacher organised a school project, called ''Erinnern'' 〔() ''Gedenktafel Wasagasse''〕 (German for "''Remember''"), in order to research the fates of former Jewish students. Furthermore, the school also installed a commemorative plaque, honouring and remembering all the students and teachers who were victims of Nazism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gymnasium Wasagasse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
