history

The Oberstufenzentrum I Barnim was founded in 1994 as an association of the regional vocational schools in Bernau and Eberswalde and began operations in Bernau and Wandlitz in the 1994/95 school year . The first headmaster was Rolf Schneider.

In the course of the increasing mechanization of occupations in the administrative sector and the growing importance of modern media for learning processes, the two locations reached their limits at the end of the 1990s.

The vacancy of the Waldfrieden school location in Bernau was used by the school authority in close cooperation with the city of Bernau as an opportunity to create a new campus for several educational institutions. In 2004 the Upper School Center I Barnim moved into the new premises.

In 2019 the OSZ I Barnim celebrates its 25th anniversary.
