The Gustav Stresemann Business School ( GSW ) is one of the four vocational schools in Mainz . Its namesake is the politician and statesman Gustav Stresemann . The school offers the two courses of study, Higher Vocational School (HBF) and Vocational Gymnasium (BG). The school has been located in Hechtsheim since 1999 in a former IBM building.

history

A one-year commercial school for boys was founded in 1907 and from 1922 found its first permanent accommodation in the old university "Domus Universitas" .

Between 1944 and 1947 the school was closed for 3 years because there were no suitable buildings in Mainz as a result of the war destruction. It was not until April 15, 1947 that the school was able to resume operations under the direction of Mr. Dörr. He was followed by Herr Kloster (1952–1955) and from 1955 Gotthard Steglich .

From 1958, the school was given permanent accommodation in the Mainz Citadel . The rooms were initially in the gate building, but this was soon no longer sufficient as the one-year business school became a two-year business school. The higher commercial school was added. Finally, the business school was founded, from which the business high school emerged as part of school reforms .

From around 1964 the gate building finally became too small. It became necessary to move to other schools and a barrack building was finally made available. Later the move to the "double company barracks" took place, but soon it was no longer sufficient. In 1999 the Gustav-Stresemann-Wirtschaftsschule left the citadel and got a new school building in a former administration building of the IBM Mainz, tailored to its teaching needs.

Foreign languages ​​played a major role in the various types of school. So it was only natural that when looking for a name one could agree on a European politician: Gustav Stresemann. It is named after him from 1964.

The Gustav Stresemann Business School was one of the first commercial schools and later included the first business school and the first business high school in Rhineland-Palatinate .

Remarks

  1. The school administration at the time decided to use this name because Stresemann's work at the Hague Conference of 1929 was of particular importance for Mainz: France agreed to the deadline for the early termination of the occupation of the Rhineland on June 30, 1930.
