history

On April 24, 1865, the Sophien-Gymnasium was founded at Große Hamburger Straße  2. This required the rapid increase in population in front of the city in the area between Hamburger and Schönhauser Tor of the city ​​wall . In 1867 the company moved to the new Wilhelminian school building at Weinmeisterstraße 15. The secondary school had its origins in the municipal high school in Steinstraße, house number 31/34, which was founded at Easter 1868 and whose first director was Heinrich Bertram . Both school buildings and the joint directorate building were built between 1865 and 1867 according to plans by Adolf Gerstenberg . At Easter 1871 the middle school became a first-class secondary school by adding a prima to it. From then on, this part of the school was called Sophien-Realschule like the adjoining grammar school. Since 1882 it was called the Sophien-Realgymnasium. The school ensemble was supplemented in 1875 by a new building for a girls' school, the municipal Sophien (daughters) school on the property at Weinmeisterstraße 16/17. In 1904 a gymnasium was built for all three schools on the neighboring property at Steinstrasse 29/30 based on a design by Ludwig Hoffmann . In 1924 the Sophien-Gymnasium moved to Mandelstrasse 2 and from 1926 it was developed into the Sophien-Gymnasium and Realgymnasium . From 1931 the high school part was dismantled. After the dissolution in 1935, the Heinrich Schliemann School was its successor. The Sophien-Realgymnasium remained in Steinstrasse and was developed into the Sophien-Reformrealgymnasium there from 1928 . From 1931 it was combined with the Friedrich Werderschen Oberrealschule , which had moved to the Weinmeisterstraße 15 building in 1928. Except for the directorate building, all buildings were largely destroyed during World War II. The elementary school Weinmeisterstraße was built on the old school grounds of the Sophiengymnasium from 1950 to 1953. The former directorate building now houses the youth culture center in the middle of the Weinmeisterhaus .
