Geschwister-Scholl-Gesamtschule Lünen
Geschwister-Scholl-Gesamtschule Lünen, Educational heritage monument in Lünen, Germany.
Description
Geschwister-Scholl-Gesamtschule is a school building in Lünen designed according to organic architecture principles with flowing forms and generous natural light. The complex consists of several interconnected structures that house different learning areas and facilities.
History
The building was designed in 1958 by architect Hans Scharoun as a girls' gymnasium and later restructured into a comprehensive school in 1986. A major renovation between 2011 and 2013 modernized the complex while preserving its architectural character.
Culture
The school bears the name of the Scholl siblings, who resisted the Nazi regime, and this naming shapes the identity of the place. This choice connects daily school life to an important chapter of German history and builds awareness about standing up for what is right.
Practical
The school grounds are accessible during school hours, though interior spaces reflect active school operations. Visitors should contact the school administration in advance to arrange visits to internal areas.
Did you know?
The school received recognition as a Big Beautiful Building during the European Cultural Heritage Year 2018 and won the NRW Architecture Prize for its renovation work. This recognition shows how contemporary design and historical substance were successfully brought together.
