Gymnasium Eppendorf, Secondary school and heritage monument in Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany.
Gymnasium Eppendorf is located at Hegestraße 35 and combines a functioning school building with protected architectural elements in the Hamburg-Nord district. Students study in modern learning spaces while the heritage-protected building carries the school's long history.
The school was founded in 1904 as a Realschule in Eppendorf and maintained this educational form for many decades. A major turning point came in 1971 when the school became coeducational and began admitting female students.
The school building shapes the neighborhood through its protected architecture that students and visitors encounter daily. The annual HegeTalent event demonstrates how the school community integrates music, theater, and dance into school life.
The school campus on Hegestraße is easy to reach by public transport and located in a residential area with good amenities. Visitors should note that this is an active school campus where access may be limited during certain times.
A network of former students and staff created Hegemalige e.V. in 2000 to keep connections alive between different generations of the school community. This group shows how deeply personal bonds to the school continue over the decades.
