The Bernhard-Strigel-Gymnasium (BSG) is a grammar school in Memmingen, a town in the state of Bavaria, Germany. Located near the Alps this old imperial city of about 44,000 inhabitants has a history that reaches back to end of the first millennium. The BSG hosts around 1200 students with a dedicated teaching staff of 100.
