The Apian-Gymnasium in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, honours the legacy of mathematician Peter Apian and his son Philipp. Established in 1971, the school carries the names of these influential figures who were associated with the University of Ingolstadt. Peter Apian was a mathematician there, while his son Philipp succeeded him in the role and is recognised as the first cartographer to map Bavaria in its entirety. The gymnasium itself is noted as a Bavarian centre for excellence.

Today, the Apian-Gymnasium provides a broad curriculum and engages students with unique opportunities. These include an inventors' club and international exchange programmes. The school also offers distinctive recreational spaces, such as a terrarium and a detailed model railway setup. It was attended by 1,328 students during the 2023–24 academic year.
