Description
A school built like a block building with two main facades. This also results in two entrance areas, since there were once two schools. Our pictures are showing the north area with the central entrance and the two tower-like buildings with clocks on the side. The entire site is a series of several buildings. In the inner courtyard, the northern entrance building features an impressive glass stair tower with another clock.

History
The school was built between 1929 and 1930 by the city's main architect Berringer. When the National Socialists took power in Germany in 1933, flat roofs were discredited by them. To make the school look more "German", it was built a gable roof. During the extensive reconstruction work in 2007, the school was restored to its original flat roof design.
The buildings were constructed as two schools intended exclusively for girls. In the time of the GDR, an Advanced Grammar School (EOS) moved in. After the political change the school is used as a Gymnasium, since 2008 named Innerstädtisches Gymnasium.
On of the school's students was Joachim Gauck, the German President (2012-2017).
