The school has extensive school grounds. It is located in the Calenberger Neustadt between the north bank of the Maschsee and the Schützenplatz Hannover . Parts of the school building, the former Ratsgymnasium , were added to the list of monuments in 1990 by the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments due to their historical significance and the exemplary nature of the building type.
