history
founding
In 1887 the Koblenz Commercial School Association founded a commercial advanced training school, which was initially headed by the Realgymnasialdirektor Most until 1890 and by teacher Bode until 1894. This first commercial school comprised three classes and a preparatory class with one-year courses each. The city council approved a grant of 500 marks for 1889 . Initially, the school was housed in the old town hall at 6 Richtstrasse.
In 1894, Franz Zimmermann (1866–1903) from East Prussia took over the management of the “commercial training school for trainees”. Zimmermann, who received his doctorate in philosophy in Berlin in 1899, also founded a commercial training school for girls in 1894, which from 1898 onwards was the first commercial school for girls in the Rhineland with annual classes and full-time instruction. In 1900 Zimmermann rented the Altlöhrtor 17 building and had it expanded for school purposes. In 1903 the advanced training school was expanded into a trade school for commercial students with an attached boarding school . Zimmermann died that same year.
Carl Hacke continues school
After Franz Zimmermann's death, his widow initially continued teaching under the direction of Carl Hacke (1876–1952), who bought the school in 1914. A year earlier, lessons had already been moved from Altlöhrtor to Hohenzollernstrasse 148; In 1917 the house at Hohenzollernstrasse 162 was added as a second school building.
As one of the first private schools in Prussia, the Dr. Zimmermann's private business school was granted state recognition in 1928, which meant equality with a public school of the type in question. The graduation certificate of the students of the two-year commercial school was equivalent to that of the middle or secondary school.
In 1941 Bennodietrich Schoeller (1898–1993), Carl Hacke's son-in-law, took over the management of the school. It is his merit that the school was not nationalized during the Nazi era and retained its status as a private school.
War and Post War
During the war, lessons were initially continued until the house at Hohenzollernstrasse 148 was completely destroyed by a bombing on July 19, 1944 and a short time later Hohenzollernstrasse 162 was badly damaged. The typewriters for the lessons had previously been entrusted to the students and moved to various villages in the area. Immediately after the end of the war, Schoeller, together with his wife and daughter, began to repair the remaining rooms on their own, so that the Dr. Zimmermann's private business school was the first school in Koblenz to resume teaching on December 1, 1945.
In the 1950s, the number of pupils rose from around 150 at the beginning to up to 600. Because space was very limited, teaching was carried out in shifts until the new school building at Mainzer Strasse 50 was completed in October 1959.
In the autumn of 1968 Erich Gahl (1931–2005) took over the management of the school, Bennodietrich Schoeller's son-in-law. From 1987 Gahl was together with his wife Ingrid Gahl-Schoeller also a school owner.
Development after 1970
In 1968, in addition to the one-year and two-year commercial school, the higher vocational school for economics and the training of secretaries and in 1971 the basic vocational school year for economics and administration were added, the Dr. Zimmermann private business school 1973 in Dr. Zimmermannsche Wirtschaftsschule renamed. In the same year, Erich Gahl set up the first business school in Rhineland-Palatinate with a focus on accounting, human resources and training.
From 1980 the Dr. Zimmermann's business school offers the business college, a one-year course for secondary school students and high school graduates as an alternative to the two-year higher business school. In 1997 Ms. Corinna Gahl-Haupt took over the management of the school, in 2004 also the school administration. The private school is now owned and managed by the fourth generation.
Since 2011 it has been possible to acquire the general university entrance qualification in vocational school II.
