History
The Oberlyzeum was formed in 1925 when the city of Königsberg combined two private schools, the Seydel-Lyzeum of Theaterstraße in Burgfreiheit and the Günther-Lyzeum of Steindamm.[1] The new institution was located in the former Altstadt Gymnasium, as that building had been vacated to form Stadtgymnasium Altstadt-Kneiphof.[2] In 1935, the Maria-Krause-Lyzeum of Schnürlingstraße in Hintere Vorstadt was closed and merged into the Körte-Oberlyzeum. The school was destroyed during the 1944 bombing of Königsberg in World War II.
