History
The day school was founded on 23 April 1981, with the first campus at Osdorfer Landstraße 390/392 in Hamburg.[2]
The current building in Halstenbek, designed by Architekten R+K, was completed in 1994.[3] The school building has 3,500 square metres (38,000 sq ft) of space and includes athletic facilities. As of 2013 the school had 110 students and 13 teachers; the Japanese government sends the teachers to Germany.[4]
A couple, Jürgen and Christa Heidorn, gave an orchard to the Japanese school.[5]
The Britannica International School is being built on the site of the Japanese school.[6]
The Japanisches Institut Hamburg (ハンブルグ補習授業校 Hanburugu Hoshū Jugyō Kō), a Japanese weekend educational programme, holds its classes in the Hamburg Japanese school building.[7] It has done so since 1994.[4]
