history

The school was founded in 1876 in the then Prussian Altona / Elbe as a secondary school for girls, is the second oldest high school in Altona and sees itself as a traditional school with modern standards. It takes its name from Max-Brauer-Allee , which was only called Allee until 1975 . In 1905 the school moved into today's old building. The matriculation examination has been held since 1909. In 1926 the school camp Sophienhöhe in Bad Harzburg was bought, which had to be sold again in 1998 after economic difficulties. Since 1972 boys and girls have been teaching together. From 1988 to 1991 the old building was completely refurbished and the attic was expanded. In 1993, the sporting situation improved after taking over a new hall at Haubachstrasse 60. In 1999, the inauguration of an extension took place, which is equipped with numerous specialist and classrooms as well as a kitchen and cafeteria. A year later the Gymnasium Allee set ecological accents by setting up a photovoltaic system (10 KWp) and a system for rainwater harvesting. On October 10, 2001, the school celebrated its 125th anniversary. The opportunities for movement for the pupils could be improved considerably by a football field (2003), two climbing rocks (2004) and an indoor climbing wall (2006). In 2006, numerous donations made it possible to replace a window lost in the war with a colored glass window ( Tree of Life ) by the renowned glass painter Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen . The construction of a wind turbine (vertical turner) with an output of 5 kW is in the planning stage.
