Dorotheenstädtische Realschule in Georgenstrasse, 1878

The Berlin Dorotheenstädtische Realschule (at times also Dorotheenstädtische Bürgererschule ), located in Dorotheenstadt , was taken over privately by the city in April 1836. The building was first on Dorotheenstrasse, then on Georgenstrasse 23. It was promoted to secondary school 1st order , was thus a " higher school " and led to the Abitur since 1840. It temporarily lost this status until it finally regained it in 1861. Well-known first directors were Ferdinand Zinnow from 1836 to 1846 and Adolf Ferdinand Krech from 1846 to 1856 . The history teacher John William Pierson , who taught there from 1859 to 1893, was one of the well-known teachers . Work on a new school building on the properties Dorotheenstrasse 13/14 and Georgenstrasse 30/31, which eventually also housed the Friedrichwerdersche Gymnasium , lasted from 1870 to 1875. Hermann Blankenstein was responsible for building the double school . The overall concept came from City Inspector Arnold Hanel. While the facades of the school in Georgenstrasse came from site manager Karl Theodor Richard Bohn, the fronts on Dorotheenstrasse go back to Blankenstein.

The school became the Dorotheenstädtische Realgymnasium in 1882 . After the Friedrichwerdersche Gymnasium moved to Berlin-Moabit in 1908 , the Realgymnasium also used the building on Georgenstrasse, while the building on Dorotheenstrasse also housed the fourth compulsory advanced training school (vocational school). In 1938 it was called the Dorotheenstädtische Schule as the municipal high school for boys.
