About the Goethe-Gymnasium (Berlin-Wilmersdorf); with mention of the Victoria Luisen School (source: wikipedia):

The Goethe-Gymnasium is an undergraduate humanistic high school in the Wilmersdorf district of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. It is named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The focus on the ancient languages ​​of Latin and Ancient Greek is characteristic of the school. Students start in 5th grade. Class with the Latin lessons, in the 7th grade. class with the Greek lesson. As one of the last schools in Germany, it made it compulsory to choose one of the two languages ​​as an advanced course. This obligation was abolished in 2011 due to the requirements of the Senate administration.[3] The school administration is supported by a non-profit “Association of Friends of the Goethe-Gymnasium Berlin eV”.

Together with other traditional grammar schools such as the Steglitz grammar school, the French grammar school, the Canisius Kolleg and the Grauen Kloster, the Goethe grammar school is one of the better-known schools in Berlin.

Historical development: Today's Goethe-Gymnasium can refer to three schools as precursors. It got its name from the former Goethe School, the school type from the former Bismarck Gymnasium, the building from the Victoria Luisen School. In the following there will be a historical outline of the previous schools and the establishment of the Goethe-Gymnasium.

Bismarck-Gymnasium: The Bismarck-Gymnasium was founded in 1895 and got its name because of the 80th Birthday of the former Reich Chancellor and Reich founder Prince Otto von Bismarck and was located at Pfalzburger Straße 30 in Wilmersdorf.

The Bismarck-Gymnasium was an ancient language school that held its own against the Realgymnasium, which the Kaiser favored in terms of educational policy. The grammar school was not founded at the expense of the state, but by private individuals. One of the first senior teachers was Walter Henze. During the National Socialist era, the Bismarck Gymnasium was able to receive Hebrew as an optional subject. Since the premises on Pfalzburger Straße had been destroyed in World War II, a search was made for new premises. After the grammar school was temporarily housed in the Cäcilienschule on Nikolsburger Platz, it moved to the building of the former Victoria Luisen School on Gasteiner Straße. After the end of the war, the Berlin schools had to give up their names and were given numbers by the occupation authorities. The Bismarck-Gymnasium was number 15 in Wilmersdorf. The last principal was Dr. Bleckman. After the end of the war, he succeeded in enforcing meager Latin lessons against the occupying power.

Victoria Luisen School:A public high school for girls was established from a private school. For the naming one received from Kaiser Wilhelm II. permission to name this institution with the name of his only daughter, Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia. At 13th. The cornerstone was laid in September 1903. The school was built on the corner of Uhlandstrasse and Gasteiner Strasse according to plans by Otto Herrring. The building was completed in October 1904 and was even reflected in the press because of its decorations. The foyer, staircase, the decorated ceiling of the auditorium and the organ, which came from the imperial court organ builder Wilhelm Sauer, have been preserved from the early days of the building - which was listed as a historical monument in 1991. In 1907 the school was inspected by Her Imperial Majesty Auguste Viktoria. The school was closed in 1939 and the building went to the conservatory of the Reich capital. The war damage to the building was limited and on 21. On May 19, 1945, the Berlin Philharmonic was already rehearsing in the school auditorium for a concert in the Titania Palace. The building was used by the two former schools Bismarck-Gymnasium and Goethe-Schule. The Viktoria Luise School was not continued as an institution.

Goethe School: The Goethe School was a reform secondary school on Münstersche Straße. The building, constructed by Otto Herrring between 1905 and 1907, is a listed building and is now used by the Katharina Heinroth elementary school.

Goethe-Gymnasium: On 10. On May 19, 1954, the West Berlin Senate, under the governing mayor Walther Schreiber and Senator for Education Joachim Tiburtius, decided to set up the Goethe School in the building of the former Victoria Luisen School and the Steglitz Gymnasium in Heesestraße as "schools with a special educational character". They were therefore no longer part of the "scientific branch" (OWZ) schools that were otherwise common in West Berlin, at which the university entrance qualification was acquired. The schools received the predicates basic (i.e. deviating from the Berlin rule of starting high school after the 6th class after the 4th class) and humanistic (i.e. with Latin as the first foreign language). In contrast to the OWZs, they were allowed to call themselves "Gymnasium". The school was set up as a successor to the destroyed Bismarck Gymnasium.
