The Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium (CvO) is a state high school in the Hamburg district of Poppenbüttel . The school was founded in 1968 as the Gymnasium Müssenredder and named after Carl von Ossietzky in 1984 .

history

The school was founded in 1968 as a grammar school in Müssenredder . The foundation stone was laid at Müssenredder 59 in 1969, and in 1970 the school moved into the new building in the first construction phase. In 1974 the double H building was completed, in 1978 the compartment and gymnasium. In 1984 the grammar school was named after Carl von Ossietzky .

The Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium was recognized as a Club-of-Rome-Schule in 2009, at the time the network comprised 15 schools across Germany. As of 2020 there are 17 schools, which still include the Carl-von-Ossietzky-Gymnasium. The school is a member of the school association "View over the fence" .

From 2012 to 2013 the canteen was expanded for all-day care and a theater room was converted.

Location and architecture

The almost square school property has an approximate size of 28,000 m². The school grounds are located north of the main road Poppenbütteler Weg (part of Ring 3 ), between Tegelsbarg and Müssenkoppel. To the north, the Müssenredder delimits the school location. The immediate neighbor of the grammar school is the Müssenredder elementary school, founded in 1974.

The high school buildings erected in the 1970s were all series-produced according to plans by the Hamburg Building Department. The main building is a series school building of the "Type 68", also called "Double H" according to the floor plan. This series production was built around 40 times from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s in what was then the outskirts and expansion areas of Hamburg. The three-story buildings consist of industrially prefabricated sandwich elements that were put together on site. The facades were clad with exposed aggregate concrete .

In 1996 a solar system was installed on the school roof, financed by donations from the school association. The electricity generated is fed into the Hamburg electricity grid and sold to the electricity supplier. Further investments are made with the money raised. In the meantime a second facility has been installed on the roof of the new gym. This two-field hall ("Sporthalle am Tegelsbarg") was built in 2011.
