The Jacobson-Gymnasium in Seesen (also: JGS for short ) emerged from the Jacobsonschule founded in 1801 and has been located in a new building in the Sonnenberg school center on St. Annenstrasse since the 1972/73 school year.
history
In the late spring of 1801 the entrepreneur and theologian Israel Jacobson bought a property with a two-story house on today's Jacobsonstrasse (former Junkernstrasse) and founded the Jacobson School . Almost half a century later, in 1846, the building on the courtyard side was extended due to the number of students increasing to almost 150. The school form was a secondary school of the second order until 1870 , which was similar to a middle school. Until the beginning of the 1870s, the number of pupils continued to rise to around 235. Therefore, a property next to the old school building was purchased in today's Jacobsonstrasse / corner of Bismarckstrasse. The new building, which was completed in August 1873, was built here as an extension of the old school building.
In 1922 the Jacobson School was nationalized because the school was in financial need.
Since the school was in the middle of the city without the possibility of expansion and the need for better conditions for the natural sciences, sport and music increased, discussions about a new high school building arose in the early 1960s. Although the school authorities could not agree to a new building in the foreseeable future, the district finally decided in 1967 to build a new school on Sonnenberg after the old school had to be renovated. Construction work began in 1969, so that the current school building could be moved into the school year 1972/1973. The new headmaster was Rolf Ballof .
