In 1965, Egon Seidel won the architectural competition for a school building in Wörth, which is today known as the „Europa-Gymnasium“. The three- to four-storey building complex is a collection of variably arranged cubic components and features different variations of celebrated material aesthetics. 

During the first construction phase (1968–1975) the main building was erected whose appearance is characterized externally and internally by the alternating use of reddish-brown clinker bricks and exposed concrete. The latter material is particularly showcased inside in the form of a large, open staircase hall that extends over all four floors and is illuminated by square skylights set into the ceiling. 

A diagonal, glazed corridor connects the main building with the extension, which was built in the second construction phase in 1974. Here, Brutalism clearly sets the tone: The three-storey building with flat roof is fully raw concrete. Two stairwells, visible from the outside, are each declared sculptural offshoots of the overall structure with spikes pointing towards the sky. The artistic climax of the building can be found on the northern front side which is adorned with a wall-high, abstract concrete relief by sculptor Karl-Heinz Deutsch.

In use. Heritage protected since 2019. 

The building was largely preserved in its original condition for a long time. From 2015, renovation work was planned on the building, which posed a threat to the Brutalist characteristics of the building. A first renovation phase (K-Bau) was completed in 2023, during which dilapidated clinker brick surfaces were removed from the exterior and the concrete surfaces were renovated. A thermal insulation system with a thickness of 20 centimetres was applied to the exterior walls as part of an energy-efficient refurbishment. The façade was clad with panels in a color reminiscent of the original design with grey exposed concrete and red clinker bricks (last updated on March 25, 2024).
