The Eleonorenschule (Elo) is an educational institution in the southern Hessian city of Darmstadt . It was built as a high school for girls between 1909 and 1911 on the site of the former municipal gas works. The school was named after the last Grand Duchess of Hesse , Eleonore zu Solms-Hohensolms-Lich (1871-1937).
architecture
The three-part building, kept in traditionalist forms, was built according to plans by city building officer August Buxbaum . The roofs are emphasized by raised structures. The facades are structured like a cassette; the portals are decorated with sculptures by Heinrich Jobst .
