Norbertusgymnasium

Norbertusgymnasium is a secondary school in Magdeburg with historical architecture and contemporary extensions serving students from grade 5 through graduation. The building houses specialized laboratory facilities for physics, chemistry, and biology, along with dedicated spaces for informatics and arts instruction.

The school was founded in 1898 and suffered significant damage during World War II. After the war, it operated as a Polytechnical Secondary School from 1949 to 1987 before returning to its gymnasium format.
