The building of today's Humboldt-Gymnasium, located at Bahnhofstrasse and the corner of Humboldt-Strasse, was constructed in three distinct phases: 1899, 1910, and 1927. The individual building sections embody the respective architectural concepts of each construction period. Paul Egeling built the core structure in 1899 in the Neo-Gothic style. Between 1909 and 1910, the building was expanded in a more austere Neo-Gothic style, and in 1927 in the Expressionist style.

The central entrance from Humboldtstrasse, adorned with elaborate terracotta decoration, is an absolute eye-catcher. The entrance door is flanked by two pilasters bearing terracotta capitals with foliate wreaths. Above the two tall, rectangular windows with diagonal, intersecting mullions above the entrance, a nude child is depicted reading. Between the first and second floors, five reliefs adorn the street-facing façade. The first depicts painting and drawing, music, singing, and sports; the second depicts botany and is intended to convey the blessings of work; the third depicts the natural sciences, astronomy, and geography. The two remaining motifs symbolize the saying "Movement brings blessings."
