The school village Bergstraße ( SBS for short ) is a school-type cooperative comprehensive school under the school sponsorship of the Darmstadt-Dieburg district in Seeheim-Jugenheim in Hesse .

history

The comprehensive school was built on the American model of the Community School on the campus that still exists today and opened on May 3, 1954. The scattered buildings initially housed a kindergarten, elementary school, special school, secondary and secondary school, the advanced high school, a vocational school and the affiliated boarding school, in which around 100 students lived. The transitions between the school types were fluid. The Schuldorf-Bergstrasse is thus the oldest comprehensive school in Germany. The lessons in the upper level of the advanced high school and partly also in the support level of the Realschule took place as group lessons from the start. The open-air stage on campus was built by the students of the affiliated boarding school under the direction of the then boarding school director, Otto Lorenz, and was inaugurated in 1957. It was used for the summer school performances for many years. He also had them set up a tennis court and later a swimming pool that had been filled in.
