Hermann-Böse-Gymnasium, Educational institution and cultural heritage monument in Schwachhausen, Bremen, Germany.
Hermann-Böse-Gymnasium is a school building in Weser Renaissance style at Hermann-Böse-Straße 1-9, featuring characteristic architectural elements and an elephant sculpture from 1932. The rooms and facilities of the complex reflect the layered architecture of that era and shape the neighborhood's character.
The gymnasium was founded in 1905 as a secondary school for boys and was initially called Lettow-Vorbeck Schule. The name was changed in 2005 to honor the former teacher Hermann Boese.
The school holds the Europaschule designation and regularly hosts Model United Nations conferences for its students. These programs allow young people to engage with international topics and develop diplomatic skills.
The building is usually not fully accessible to visitors since it is an active school facility. Those wishing to view the architecture and elephant sculpture from outside can do so from the schoolyard or from the street.
The building retained its original 1906 structure and was the first school in Bremen to receive monument status in 1977. This early designation underscores its architectural and historical importance to the city.
