history

The building was built between 1894 and 1896 according to plans by the city building officer Otto Fielitz for the secondary school and agricultural school at the Reepschlägerbahn. The neo-Gothic brick building also received a perfect addition to individual classrooms auditorium . At the inauguration of the school on October 17, 1896, the school principal Flebbe praised the school building as an "ornament of the city" . He especially thanked the town planner Fielitz, a "master who not only thought up and worked out the floor plans [...] splendidly and ingeniously, but also carefully monitored their execution, always with tireless patience for requests [...] ] incoming. "

With the construction of a new school building in Bismarckstrasse 41, the school was divided into two locations. In 1933 the location at the Reepschlägerbahn was given up by the school due to the low number of pupils. School operations there were relocated to the location on Bismarckstrasse. From the aforementioned year 1933, the building initially apparently served various purposes.

The Flensburg customs school was opened there in 1938 . In 1943 the school stopped teaching. The building was claimed as a hospital . In 1946 the customs school resumed teaching. In 1950 the customs school moved to the Mürwik naval school . The building was then available to the city again. In the following years it continued to be used for school purposes. From 1968 to the 1980s, the Nikolai secondary school building served as the location. In 1986/1987 the building of the newly founded Nordic University served as the location for teaching at the university. The administrative headquarters were a five to ten minute walk away in the Westindienspeicher , down in town.

From 1991 the redesign to expand the neighboring museum area was planned. A ramp was added to the building on the south side, which leads to a newly created entrance. In 1997 the new museum building was finally opened. The building was named after the Art Nouveau artist Hans Christiansen , who was born in Flensburg .
