Maria-Theresia-Gymnasium is one of Munich's oldest schools. It is situated on Regerplatz in the Munich district Au.

Founded in 1899 as a Kreisrealschule,[http://www.musin.de/presse/archiv/gsc/pm_9_c.html Speech] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050324080047/http://www.musin.de/presse/archiv/gsc/pm_9_c.html |date=2005-03-24 }} at the 100-year anniversary, 10 November 1999 (German) it became a Kreis

oberrealschule in 1940 and a state-run Gymnasium in 1965. It currently holds around 900 students mainly in a natural scientific-mathematical, but as of late also a modern language branch.

In 1998, a gifted student class was started. In a partnership with Ludwig Maximilian University gifted students receive so-called „Enrichment“ classes, during which they can carry out experiments themselves at the biology and physics departments under supervision by known professors.Maria-Theresia-Gymnasium: [http://www.mtg.musin.de/?cat=1&id=60 School profile] (German)

The school is host to student exchanges with France, Sweden and Poland.

A new building with cafeteria and several new specialist rooms was built in 2008, made necessary by the adoption of the 8-year Gymnasium in many German states.
