History
In 1913 a women's teaching institute (Lehrerinnenbildungsanstalt) was converted into a gymnasium.[1] Fritz Gause began lecturing there in 1922.[2] The school, which was located on Friedrichstraße in Neue Sorge, was acquired by the city of Königsberg in 1925.[3] Its directors included Bruno Dannenbaum and Richard Scheibe.[1] The building survived Bombing of Königsberg in World War II and was razed in January 2018, under protest from presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak and other conservationists, in Kaliningrad, Russia.[2]
