history
In 1909, the reform pedagogue Anna Schomburg founded a private, higher school in Bremen, Hamburger Strasse 8. She received state licenses for the establishment of a middle school and an upper school for girls. By 1914 she was able to build a new school building for the middle school.
The clinkered, two-storey, 12-axis building with a mansard roof was built at the turn of the century .
The number of pupils rose to around 400. In 1921 the school was recognized as a lyceum . In 1924, the private higher girls' schools, including her school, were taken over by Bremen. By 1928 the number of students had dropped to 183. In 1928, English replaced French as the first foreign language.
Anna Schomburg ran the school until 1938. Her brother Dr. Dietrich Schomburg , who had been a teacher at the Schomburg School since 1912, was a member of the school's directorate from 1929 to 1939 and was in charge of it from 1939 to 1945; he was dismissed as headmaster.
In 1938 the State Lyceum Schomburg was named Schomburg-Scule, secondary school for girls . In 1939 the school building was occupied by security and emergency services and school lessons were moved to the school on Hamburger Straße .
In 1946 the school was merged with the Janson School, which taught here and at the school on Hamburger Straße until 1952 . From 1952 to the 1970s it was the special school on Brommyplatz .
This was followed by the occupation with the police station 11 of the Bremen police ; today the Steintor police station , responsible for the districts of Peterswerder, Fesenfeld, Hulsberg, Steintor and the front Hastedt with around 30,000 inhabitants.
The building was the target of an arson attack on January 28, 2020, which is why the police station was temporarily closed for renovation work.
