History
The Frankenbergsches Lyzeum on Prinzenstraße in Sackheim was led by Hermine Lewitz and Helene von Frankenberg.[1] When the Rauschningsche Schule was converted into a Mittelschule in 1925,[2] its lyzeum classes were transferred to the Frankenbergsches Lyzeum,[3] which was acquired by the city of Königsberg in 1925.[4] It was renamed the Bismark-Lyzeum in 1930.[1]
In 1931 the school was renamed the Bismarck-Oberlyzeum and acquired the closed Arnheim-Lyzeum of Tragheimer Pulverstraße in Tragheim.[5] In the same year it moved to the modernized western wing of the decommissioned Wrangel-Kaserne (barracks) on Wrangelstraße in northern Tragheim.[5] The barracks' eastern wing contained the Herderschule, a Volksschule.
The Oberlyzeum's directors were Anna Brenneisen and Franz Rutau,[5] while its students included Tamara Ehlert. The school was not rebuilt in Kaliningrad after World War II.[6]
