Luisengymnasium Berlin
The Luisengymnasium was a school on Turmstrasse in Berlin-Moabit .
history
The “Königliches Luisen-Gymnasium” built between 1880 and 1882 was designed by the Privy Councilor Spieker (probably Paul Emanuel Spieker (1826-1896)) and Building Director Spitta (probably Max Spitta (1842-1902)).
In August 1880, the first construction work began under the direction of Friedrich Schulze (1843-1912) and with the support of the government master builder Wichgraf.
The building was three-story, it had three pre-school, 16 high school and one reserve class and was supposed to accommodate around 900 students. The three preschool classes were designed for 50 and the remaining classes for 40 students. In addition, there was a physics room with equipment room, a library room for teachers and students as well as a conference and director's room and a 267 m² auditorium. On the ground floor was u. a. the school servant's apartment.
As part of the expansion of the school, Friedrich Schulze and government builder A. Weber planned a separate, two-story building for preschool classes from 1891. The school is of particular importance for the history of women's education, because in 1896 it was one of the first grammar schools in Prussia where young women graduated from high school.
Although women could only be admitted to regular studies at a Prussian university in individual cases with a special ministerial permit, the timetable for the four-semester real-world courses contained the subject matter for which the boys at a grammar school had several years to spare.
On March 29, 1896, the six young women Ethel Blume , Johanna Hutzelmann , Irma Klausner , Else von der Leyen , Margarete von der Leyen and Katharina Ziegler graduated from high school here. Gertrud Bäumer reports in 1906:
"It is the first time in Germany that women who have been prepared in an institution specially built for them have passed the university entrance exam."
They then studied medicine, ancient languages and mathematics . The physicians Irma Klausner (1874–1959) and Else von der Leyen (1874–1908) both practiced in Halle , Heidelberg and Berlin after completing their studies .
