    During Danish times, Glückstadt was the location of one of Holstein's five academic schools. The building dates from 1858. The academic schools were designed to prepare young people for university attendance. When Prussia took over the administration of the country, the curriculum was changed to the Prussian model. The Glückstadt academic school became a Royal Prussian Gymnasium. When Dr. Detlef Detlefsen became the Gymnasium's director on April 1, 1879, the long-needed extension finally made progress. New classrooms were built, service apartments for the director and school janitors, and even a gymnasium. In 1899, an annex was built with a drawing room and a "physics cabinet." In 1933, the school was renamed the Detlefsen School. In 1974, the school moved to a modern new building. Since 2004, it has been called the Detlefsen Gymnasium. The building of the former academic school now houses the Glückstadt youth center.

      Andrea described the building perfectly. I agree with her comments.
