Hohe Schule, Historic school building in Bern, Switzerland
The Hohe Schule stands as an educational institution in Bern, serving multiple generations of students through its structured learning programs and dedicated facilities.
Established in 1528 as a theological seminary, the institution received its permanent location in 1535 at the former Franciscan monastery near the western exit of Herrengasse.
The school appointed three distinguished professors in February 1528, including Kaspar Megander for theology, Sebastian Hofmeister for Hebrew, and Johannes Rhellicanus for Greek studies.
Located at coordinates 46.946944 latitude and 7.448333 longitude, the school building belongs to the Kirchenfeld-Schosshalde district of Bern.
The institution transformed into an academy with four faculties in 1804, laying the foundation for the establishment of the University of Bern in 1834.
