The first specialist classes were set up in 1920/1938, among other things for training at freight forwarders and banks. Between 1956 and 1972, the commercial school system of the city of Cologne was reorganized several times according to branches of industry and branch focus, the commercial vocational school I was responsible for the areas of freight forwarding, banking and travel. In 1978, block tuition was introduced in banking classes and a higher commercial school was set up for high school graduates.
