The Thomas Mann School (TMS) is a modern language high school in the Lübeck district of St. Gertrud , which was named after the Lübeck-born Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann . As a European school and longstanding organizer of the Model United Nations of Lübeck , the school has developed an independent profile that radiates beyond the city limits.
history
The Thomas Mann School was founded by Ida Hinckeldeyn as a private Hinckeldeyn Higher Girls 'School in 1881 and was continued by Ina Freese from 1896 as the Freese Higher Girls' School , later also as a Lyceum in the new building built in 1913 by the architect Carl Mühlenpfordt on Falkenplatz. A flying falcon was emblazoned on the schoolgirls' sportswear . The school only became state-owned in 1920, from 1927 to 1936 as the Oberlyzeum am Falkenplatz , and after the war as an Oberschule am Falkenplatz . In 1959 they moved into the school building, which is still in use today, at the new location not far from Wallbrechtstrasse, combined with the name change to Thomas Mann School. From 1967 onwards, co-education was introduced in the Thomas Mann School. From June 2010 to September 2012 the school was energetically refurbished and, among other things, got a three-field sports hall.
