Hans-Thoma-Gymnasium

Hans-Thoma-Gymnasium is a school in Lörrach with a distinctive 38.5 meter (126 feet) tower that dominates the main building and blends regional architectural traditions with early 20th-century design. The campus includes classrooms, a shared cafeteria with the neighboring Hebel-Gymnasium, and sports facilities.

The school was founded in 1899 as a municipal school and renamed in 1948 to honor the Black Forest artist Hans Thoma. This name change marked a significant step in the institution's development during the post-war period.

The school bears the name of a notable Black Forest painter since 1948 and shapes the town's cultural identity. Visitors can see this regional connection reflected in how the institution presents itself and its role in local life.

The school is easily accessible by public transportation and located in a central area of Lörrach with good connections. Visitors should be aware that access to certain areas may be limited during school hours.

Students organized a 24-hour running event around the sports field that raised 30,000 Euros to build a new school library. This fundraising project reflects the strong sense of community within the school.
