The old grammar school, which is reminiscent of a baroque castle, was built on the school square in 1790 according to plans by Berson and Brasch. Theodor Fontane went to school here, as did the sculptor Max Wiese and the poet Geor Heym.

True to the inscription under the gable, "CIVIBUS AEVI FUTURI" - "To the citizens of the future age," the Old Gymnasium combines education and culture under its roof, both then and now.
Built in 1790 according to plans by Philipp Bernard Francois Berson and Bernhard Matthias Brasch, the school's floor plan resembles a baroque palace. Among those who attended school here were the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the writer Theodor Fontane, the painter Wilhelm Gentz, the sculptor Max Wiese, the poet Georg Heym, and the poet Eva Strittmatter. Today, the Old Gymnasium houses the city library and the district music and youth art school. It is also the headquarters of the Theodor Fontane Society and serves as a campus for the medical and psychology departments of the Brandenburg Medical School.
