history
In 1560 the Stralsund grammar school was founded in the former Dominican monastery of St. Katharinen , which remained the only public school in Stralsund until the 19th century.
The school building of today's Hansa School was opened on December 22nd, 1913 as a secondary school for girls , after the foundation stone for this building was laid on September 18th, 1911. The then mayor of Stralsund , Ernst Gronow , commented on the event:
“ There may be enough larger and more splendid schoolhouses in Prussia , but in one respect this schoolhouse is out of reach. If you look out of the window from the walkways on the upper floor of this house on a clear summer or winter day, the sound in front of you, animated by boats and ships, opposite the island of Rügen , on the left the island of Ummanz , and beyond that, in the dim distance, Hiddensee , and behind it the open sea, and if you then climb the tower and look backwards over the city, and see the St. John's Monastery at your feet and behind it all surrounded by a wreath of lakes, then you have to confess that a more beautiful location cannot be Have schoolhouse in our homeland. "
On April 1, 1914, the Secondary School for Girls was the Oberlyzeum affiliated. According to a ministerial resolution of March 28, 1915, this should henceforth bear the name Hansa-Schule am Sunde , whereby the name Hansa was derived from the medieval trade organization Hanse .
During the Second World War , the German Wehrmacht installed an infirmary in the school's brick building; in August 1943 the school was therefore relocated to Bergen on Rügen . On October 1, 1944, the winter semester of the Aviation Engineering School (IfL) began in the Hansa School , which , coming from Thorn , moved on to Wyk auf Föhr for the summer semester 1945 . Even after the Second World War, the building was initially used for a different purpose: a typhus infirmary was set up here. At the end of 1945, however, the school was used again on the orders of the Soviet military administration.
By merging with the Schiller High School , a boys' school , which on 10 November 1945 from the remains of the gymnasium and the Ferdinand Schill High School in the lead road had been formed, which was 1947 Lyceum dissolved and as a co-educational high school, since 1959 Advanced High school (EOS) run; it was the only such facility in Stralsund.
In 1948 there were two leaflet campaigns against the ban on the school newspaper and against the policies of the SED . It was not possible to determine who was responsible, but on November 19, 1948, the three students Wolfgang Wober, Klaus Schikore and Jürgen Handschuk were arrested from class. They were sentenced to long prison terms in 1949, and Handschuk died in Waldheim prison in 1950 . Since 2000 a plaque in the Hansa-Gymnasium has been commemorating her fall.
In August 1991 the school was converted into a high school after renovation. In 2000 and 2001 the students were taught in the Pestalozzi School in Stralsund due to the renovation.
A replica dugout canoe reminds of the discovery of the dugout canoes from Strelasund on the site in front of the school building in 2002.
