German:
Bis 1773 befindet sich hier das Jesuitenkolleg. Während der Teil des Gebäudes, der direkt an die Kirche stößt, von der katholischen Stadtpfarrei als Gemeindehaus genutzt wird, fällt der Rest auf Wunsch von Großherzog Karl Friedrich von Baden (1727-1811) ab 1807 dem neuen, konfessionsungebundenen „Vereinigten Großherzoglichen Lyceum" zu. Vorläufer dieser staatlichen Anstalt sind die Lateinschule, das Lutherische Gymnasium und das Jesuitengymnasium, das zuvor in dem Anbau hinter der Jesuitenkirche in der „Kalten Gass" untergebracht war. Das ehemalige Sommerrefektorium des Jesuitenkollegs (A 4, 4) mit einem Deckengemälde von Cosmas Damian Asam (1686-1739) wird als Schulaula genutzt. Seit 1820 werden jüdische Schüler aufgenommen, die um 1880 fast ein Drittel stellen und die Schule nach der Reichspogromnacht im November 1938 verlassen müssen. 1872 wird die Bezeichnung Gymnasium für die Schule eingeführt, die 1899 in ein neuerrichtetes Gebäude in der Roonstraße umzieht. Dort erhält sie anlässlich des 300-jährigen Stadtjubiläums am 31. Juli 1907 den Namen ihres Gründers und heißt fortan Karl-Friedrich-Gymnasium. Das Gebäude in A 4 wird das Domizil der Handelshochschule. © Stadtarchiv Mannheim Institut Für Stadtgeschichte

Jesuit college was located here until 1773. While the part of the building that adjoins the church was used as a community center by the Catholic city parish, the rest was given over to the new, non-denominational "United Grand Ducal Lyceum" from 1807 at the request of Grand Duke Karl Friedrich of Baden (1727-1811). The forerunners of this state institution were the Latin school, the Lutheran Gymnasium and the Jesuit Gymnasium, which was previously housed in the annex behind the Jesuit church in the "Kalten Gass". The former summer refectory of the Jesuit college (A 4, 4) with a ceiling painting by Cosmas Damian Asam (1686-1739) was used as a school auditorium. Jewish students were admitted from 1820 onwards, making up almost a third of the school by 1880 and having to leave the school after Kristallnacht in November 1938. In 1872, the school was given the name Gymnasium, and in 1899 it moved to a newly constructed building on Roon Street. On July 31, 1907, on the occasion of the city's 300th anniversary, it was given the name of its founder and was henceforth called Karl-Friedrich-Gymnasium. The building in A 4 became the home of the
