The building now houses around 1,000 students from grades five through thirteen and operates as an open all-day school since 2017.
History
The institution began as a civic Latin school in the 16th century and received its current name in 1949, becoming the first German school to bear Albert Schweitzer's name. This naming marked a significant turning point in the school's identity and mission.
