The Gymnasium was built in the years of 1869-1871 in the Classicist style. The tower is to remember the Bautzen city gate, and was named after King John.

The Johanneum was founded in 1586 and is thus one of the oldest high schools in Germany. However, the representative building with its striking tower construction dates back to 1869. Until today, the building is used as a gymnasium.

The impressive Johanneum school building was built between 1869 and 1871 as a secondary school,
built by city architect Emil Trummler. The gilded copper angel
on the 56-meter-high tower comes from the former Weavers' Gate.
