Latin schools

From the 16th to the 18th century there were Latin schools in Bremen as the Reformed Free Latin School from 1528 and the Lutheran Cathedral School from 1642 .

Commercial school

In 1802 the business school was formed as an educational basis for the trades professions.

In 1817 the new, three-tier secondary school in Bremen, consisting of the

  • Preschool for boys from 8 to 14 years of age in Eschenhof (a building belonging to the Domdechanei on Domsheide),
  • Handelsschule im Eschenhof and the
  • Scholars' school (prerequisite for university studies) in the Kapitelhaus at the Bremen Cathedral, then also in the Eschenhof, which has been known as a grammar school since 1857 and then as an old grammar school .

The commercial school focused on the new languages ​​and the "realities", an outdated pedagogical term for the so-called subject subjects that deal with real things, such as biology, geography or mathematics.

In addition to the learning materials, the school fee was around 36 thalers . Initially around 250 students were taught in 5 year classes. The number of students increased thereafter.

The school was housed in Eschenhof an der Domsheide (today the location of the main post office), which previously belonged to the cathedral area and served as a residence for the Duchy of Bremen . In 1872/73 the secondary school was given a late Classicist new building on Dechanatstrasse according to plans by Alexander Schröder, and in 1875 the secondary school and with it the commercial school moved. The commercial school and the neighboring high school shared the gymnasium and auditorium.

The Realgymnasium was introduced in Prussia in the middle of the 19th century . For this purpose, existing six-class secondary schools were often extended by three years (the prima or upper level). Realgymnasien were therefore temporarily also referred to as 1st-order Realschulen . In 1877/78 the commercial school became a secondary school of the first order .

In 1886, the pre-school was spun off from the secondary school and partially attached to the commercial school and the grammar school. The preparation for the upper grades was left to private schools.

In 1888 the school operated as a commercial school (Realgymnasium) . In 1893 it was converted to a secondary school without Latin . This type of school was originally founded in Prussia at the beginning of the 19th century as a six-class commercial or academic school. The commercial school existed until 1905.

Further development

Secondary school on Dechanatstrasse

In 1905 the commercial school became an independent school as an upper secondary school on Dechanatstraße and stayed in the same building. From 1906 to 1933 Carl Dietz was director of this school. In 1935 a school camp was opened in Dötlingen .

Lüderitz School at the time of National Socialism

In 1937 it was called an Oberschule and from 1938 to 1945 it was named Lüderitz - Oberschule . Classes became heavily politicized. The standard of performance decreased because of the many HJ activities. In 1943/44, with the exception of the upper classes, lessons took place in Saxony .

Secondary school after 1945

In 1954 there were 850 students at the secondary school, which, as a kind of additive comprehensive school, took up branches B (middle school), C (business school) and D (upper level / grammar school).

High school on Parsevalstrasse

In 1957 the school was relocated to buildings on Parsevalstrasse in Bremen - Sebaldsbrück . In 1956/57 a supplementary new building was built here based on plans by Hans Budde . Around 1976/77 it was turned into a school center. In 1987 the high school in the school center was closed. The Sebaldsbrück school center for secondary level I and the school on Parsevalstrasse as a primary school are located on the site .

The business school remained on Dechanatstrasse and moved to Hillmannplatz in 1959 .

Building use

The school building on Dechanatstraße was used by the expanding old grammar school until 1987 , which then moved to the Kleine Helle. Since then, the building has been used by the Bremen University of the Arts .
