Gymnasium Kreuzgasse

Gymnasium Kreuzgasse is a secondary school in Neustadt-Nord in northern Cologne, located within a protected building complex on Vogelsanger Street. The site includes several school structures that together form the learning environment.

The school was founded in 1828 and has operated continuously since its establishment. It has endured major turning points in German history, including both World Wars and the reconstruction period that followed.

The school carries the Kreuzgasse name and functions today as a meeting place where students from different countries learn together. This international character shapes daily life within the building and makes it a space where languages and cultures intersect.

The school can be reached through the main entrance at Vogelsanger Street 1, which is well connected by public transportation and bicycle parking. The site is located in a residential area with good transit access.

The grounds feature Stolpersteine, small brass plates that remember Holocaust victims, and these are the focus of regular memorial ceremonies. These markers are a quiet testimony to the school's past.
