The teacher's library has a long history: It dates back to 1601, when members of the Society of Jesus founded a Gymnasium, initially in the Annastraße and later in today's Jesuitenstraße. The historical collection comprises approx. 12,000 titles, mainly from the 19th century - including individual items from the library originally founded by the Jesuits, mainly from the 17th century. The two oldest books in the collection are incunabula from 1499.
An excellent overview of the history and holdings of the Teacher's library is available in the "Handbook of Historical Book Stocks in Germany" (in German): http://fabian.sub.uni-goettingen.de/fabian?Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium_(Aachen)
