Schulen der Brede

Schulen der Brede is an educational campus in Brakel that combines a gymnasium and secondary school under Catholic management. The grounds include several connected buildings with classrooms, specialized rooms, and shared spaces that support daily operations for around one thousand students.

The institution traces back to 1832 when an orphanage school began operating alongside St. Annen-Hospital. Over decades, the school expanded and developed into the present-day dual school that offers comprehensive education under one roof.

The school building displays the architectural style of Catholic educational institutions from the 20th century, with its layout reflecting the values of community and shared learning spaces. Visitors can observe how the different wings connect, showing how the school adapted its physical spaces when it transitioned to accept both boys and girls.

The school campus is active during the school year on weekdays, and visitors should inquire at the school office for information. The grounds have several entrances and parking areas that make reaching and exploring the various sections easier.

Schulen der Brede receives funding from the Archdiocese of Paderborn through a foundation, reflecting its enduring connection to the Catholic Church. This church support allows the school to shape its educational work independently and offer special programs such as bilingual instruction.
