Lessing-Gymnasium, Secondary school and cultural heritage monument in Weststadt, Karlsruhe, Germany.
The Lessing-Gymnasium features both historic architecture and modern facilities, including a golden-brown metal extension that complements the original sandstone structure.
Founded in 1893 as Germany's first girls' gymnasium, the school moved to its current location on Sophienstrasse 147 in 1911 due to increasing enrollment.
The educational institution carries the name of Enlightenment poet Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and maintains specialized classrooms for both linguistic and scientific education tracks.
The school provides comprehensive education starting with English in fifth grade, followed by French or Latin in sixth grade, preparing students for university studies.
The 2011 renovation received the Hugo-Häring Auszeichnung for its innovative design that connects indoor and outdoor spaces through transparent facades and strategic access points.
