history
At the instigation of Rector Paul Hildebrandt (1925–1932), who had previously been Rector at the Gray Monastery , the Luisenstädtische Gymnasium, founded in 1864, became (as the successor to the Luisenstädtische Realschule founded in 1836) on November 20, 1928 after the merchant and pioneer of field archeology Heinrich Schliemann (1822–1890) named. The school building was then at Gleimstrasse 49, which is now the school on Falkplatz , a primary school. Hildebrandt tried to modernize the institution he ran and strengthened the school's humanistic profile. With the approval of the Prussian provincial and city authorities, he achieved the establishment of a high school with the continuation of the humanistic grammar school in the same building, with the name "Heinrich Schliemann School". Hildebrandt's successor, Fritz Plagemann, was dismissed along with four other faculty members after the Nazis' seizure of power in 1933 due to his Jewish origin. In the course of the renaming of the public teaching institutions in the official gazette of the capital of Berlin by the mayor of Berlin, the grammar school was renamed "Heinrich-Schliemann-Gymnasium" in 1938. In 1939 the dedication of the school was changed in favor of Horst Wessel . After the beginning of the Second World War , the school moved to Carmen-Sylva-Straße (today Erich-Weinert-Straße). Lessons were later relocated to the Berlin area.
After the end of the Second World War, the Heinrich-Schliemann-Gymnasium moved back to its old name on September 1, 1945 at Gleimstrasse 49. The provisional headmaster Falk was replaced in 1946 by the former rector Plagemann, who ran the school until 1951 and enjoyed great respect brought. The Heinrich-Schliemann-Gymnasium was gradually transformed into an extended secondary school (EOS) with special classes for ancient and modern language teaching. In 1953 the school moved to Greifswalder Straße 25 to make room for the establishment of a polytechnic high school in Gleimstraße. In 1969 it was merged with EOS Karl Friedrich Schinkel, whose principal Richard had run both schools since 1962 (until 1979). In 1973 the school moved again to Conrad-Blenkle-Straße 52. Richard's successor was Mrs. Stoppe, who, after the second extended secondary school was closed in 1983, accepted the special classes in ancient languages at the Heinrich-Schliemann-Gymnasium.
The school was one of nine schools in the GDR that offered ancient language teaching (Latin and ancient Greek).
For the school year 1991/92 all schools in the eastern part of the city were closed. In the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin, 4 new high schools with different profiles were set up. In the school building at Dunckerstraße 64, the language-oriented 4th grammar school was reopened under the direction of Silvia Salecker in the 1991/92 school year. The listed school building at Dunckerstraße 64 can look back on a long school tradition. It was built according to plans by the Berlin city planning officer Ludwig Hoffmann and opened on October 1, 1914 as the 309th and 310th community dual school for boys and girls with a school dental clinic. After 1945 both the ten-class polytechnic high school “Dr. Theodor Neubauer ”and the auxiliary school “ Wilhelm Blanck ”were set up.
On June 15, 1992, the naming ceremony took place at the opening concert “Musische Tage-Prenzlauer Berg” at Dunckerstraße 64. The 4th grammar school was named "Heinrich-Schliemann-Oberschule (grammar school)" by resolution of the school conference. On October 21, 1994, the Schliemann monument, consisting of two sandstone steles with the reliefs created by the sculptor Christa Collector and depicting the life of the archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, was inaugurated on the occasion of a ceremony . For the school year 1993/94 the old-language branch of the grammar school was established. Since then, the grammar school has offered two courses: old language from grade 5 and modern language from grade 7.
Since the 2013/14 school year, the school at Dunckerstraße 64 has been named Heinrich-Schliemann-Gymnasium by resolution of the school conference. The entire historical building complex on the grounds of the Heinrich Schliemann High School is under monument protection and has been extensively and extensively renovated since 2010 with funds from the program for monument protection and urban renewal as well as funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) . The 100th school anniversary at Dunckerstraße 64 was celebrated with a large ceremony on October 1st, 2014.
Current school building
The current school building at Dunckerstraße 64 in Prenzlauer Berg was designed by the Berlin architect and town planner Ludwig Hoffmann in the years 1910-11, which was then built between 1912 and 1915 as the 309th and 310th community dual school and 9th auxiliary school; there was also one in the school building School dental clinic integrated. In addition to the elongated main building with short side wings, the site also includes the former street cleaning depot, now used as a club, and the principal's residence, which is now part of the school. All three buildings that Hoffmann designed uniformly and equipped with hipped roofs have three-part windows and profiled pilaster strips . The design, with which the artists Ignatius Taschner and Hoffmann & Wüstenhagen also helped, is strongly reminiscent of the weaving school on Warschauer Platz in Friedrichshain, also designed by Hoffmann .
In the years 2000 to 2002 the roof structure was renovated, in 2002 the new gymnasium, which cost 20 million euros, was opened, in which also the physical education of the Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium takes place, which, separated by the Berlin Ringbahn , is also on Dunckerstraße. In the 2003/2004 school year, an extension was built for the science subjects, which was provided with red bricks in order to at least approximately preserve the monument protection.

The school participates in the Berlin program for in-depth professional orientation (BvBO) and offers its students support in professional orientation and career choice.
