The school was founded in 1964 as Erzbischöfliches Gymnasium Beuel(EBG) by the Archbishop of Cologne, Josef Kardinal Frings. It was a boys´ school. The school building in the south of Beuel, which includes an assembly hall, a sports field, three sports halls, a cafeteria and a nuclear bunker was planned by the famous architect Joachim Schürmann. After Frings' death in 1978, the school decided to assume the name of its founder and was officially named as Kardinal-Frings-Gymnasium on December 8, 1979. In 1988, the school was opened for girls.[1]
English and Latin are compulsory languages at the school. Moreover, the students can decide to learn French from class 8 and Spanish from class 10.There's also a voluntary Italian-course for students in grade 9. In the advanced level, there exist corporations with the Liebfrauenschule Bonn and the Sankt-Adelheid-Gymnasium.
The school is known for its brass orchestra.[4] The popular German brass band Querbeat, which is active in the Cologne Carnival, was founded in 2001 as a school band of the Kardinal-Frings-Gymnasium. In 2001, the school initiated the Social Project Armenia. At an annual run the students collect money, which is used for an exchange program, the support of German lessons at two partner schools in Gyumri and the renovating of village schools in the north-Armenian Region Shirak. The donation volume in the last 15 years is more than 250.000 Euros (December 2017).[5]
