History
In 1962, at the initiative of a small group of parents, fifteen children started their first school year in a room located in the garden of the Consulate of France. This was the birth of the French school.
In 1985, the school was the victim of an arson attack. The completely devastated buildings were demolished and the reconstruction began very quickly. The city authorities supported the school by alleviating. In 1994, the school opened for high school students, and with that decision the school built a new building with eight classrooms and a laboratory. In 2022 the school celebrated its 60th anniversary, as part of the anniversary the school changed its name to Lycée français international de Simone Veil as a tribute to the french politician Simone Veil. It's also the first school operated by the aefe to receive the label Schule ohne Rassismus - Schule mit Courage.{{Cite web |title=Histoire |url=https://lfisv.de/histoire/ |access-date=2025-04-17 |website=Lycée français international Simone Veil |language=fr-FR}}
