The Charlotte-Paulsen-Gymnasium (short: CPG ) is a high school in Hamburg-Wandsbek , which is named after the social reformer Charlotte Paulsen (1797-1862). The grammar school emerged in 1945 from the merger of the oldest girls' secondary school "Lyzeum Wandsbek" and the "Paulsenstift school" founded in 1866.

history

On November 3, 1866, the first building of the Paulsenstift school in Hamburg's old town (Bei den Pumpen 38) was inaugurated. In October 1893 the Paulsenstift school moved to the new school building at 20 Bülaustraße. The first full-time director was Anna Wohlwill . Under her leadership in 1893 it was officially recognized as a girls' college. The old schoolhouse (near the pumps) was demolished as part of the renovation of the old town (expansion of the Hamburg free port). Today's main building, the Wandsbeker Lyceum, was inaugurated on April 26, 1916. The nationalization of the Paulsenstift school took place on April 1, 1937. During the Second World War , in 1940, the Wandsbeck school building was converted into an auxiliary hospital ( military hospital ) and the Lyceum moved to the Matthias Claudius Gymnasium ( MCG ). On July 25, 1943, the Paulsenstift building in Bülaustraße was completely destroyed in an Allied air raid. On October 2nd of the same year, classes were resumed in the main building of the Wandsbek Lyceum. After the end of the war, on November 28, 1945, the Wandsbeker Oberlyzeum was merged with the destroyed and dissolved school of the Paulsenstift to form the Charlotte-Paulsen-Schule .

At the ceremony for the 125th school anniversary on November 4, 1991 in the Hamburg City Hall, School Senator Rosemarie Raab gave the Charlotte-Paulsen-Gymnasium the Bove Villa for school use; Various plans for this failed in the period that followed, and the Bove Villa was then sold to a private investor in 1999. Between 1996 and 1997 the two-storey pavilion was built on the east side of the school premises to replace the Bove Villa. From 2000 to 2002, the pre-school classes at the Charlotte-Paulsen-Gymnasium were relocated to the rooms at the Matthias-Claudius-Gymnasium. On September 27, 2002 a new extension was inaugurated.

The building was built from 1914 to 1916 during the First World War based on designs by Henry Grell . The brick building with ashlar elements in its massive shape is an example of reform architecture in the then Prussian Wandsbek.

The brick building of the neighboring school, Bovestrasse, corresponds to Fritz Schumacher's school buildings in Hamburg.

In 2017, a new building was inaugurated on the school premises next to the previous sports field. The building is called "Waldhaus" because a lot of wood was used and has 13 rooms, all of which are approximately 60 square meters in size. The "Waldhaus" serves as a pure specialist room in which languages ​​are taught.
