Altstadt Gymnasium

The old-urban high school was the second oldest high school in the East Prussian Königsberg, located in the Old Town district.

History

The school was founded as a learned Latin School 1525. From 1811 it was reopened after the neo-humanistic reform ideas of Wilhelm von Humboldt as a high school of his Königsberg school plan.

Therefore, it was because of his humanistic ideals of education, in addition to the Collegium Fridericianum and the Kneiphof High School, an elite institution of the province of East Prussia and Germany. On January 6, 1923, was combined with the Kneiphof high school to the town grammar school Altstadt- Kneiphof. The common school building was the Kneiphof from high school. During the air raids on Königsberg during the night of 29-30. August 1944 the school building was badly damaged by British bombs and burned out completely. The school system was resumed in October 1944 in a replacement building for the two humanistic Gymnasium ( high school city and Frederick College) and maintained until January 1945. On January 23, 1945, all schools in the city were closed by an official order and thus also heard the old-urban high school to exist.
