IGS Nordend, Integrated school in Frankfurt, Germany
IGS Nordend is an integrated secondary school in Frankfurt with two buildings from the early 20th century. The structures display Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau details and together form a connected school complex in the district.
The two buildings were constructed in 1906 as separate schools for boys and girls, reflecting the gender separation in education of that era. In 1989 they were combined and transformed into an integrated school that now teaches all students together.
The school takes its name from the Nordend district, where it has been part of local life for over a century. Today you see students from different language backgrounds, giving the place an international character.
The school complex is typically accessible during school hours, with classes held in the morning and various activities offered in the afternoon. Visitors should check in advance whether tours are possible, as this is an active school facility.
The buildings were designed by architect Gustav Schaumann and preserve their original details from 1906, from decorative facades to interior room layouts. This original fabric makes the school a rare example of unchanged educational architecture from this period.
