The Hansa-Gymnasium Stralsund is one of the oldest schools in the region. The brick building, which is now a listed building, was officially inaugurated as the Lyceum in 1913, right on the Sund promenade on the edge of the World Heritage Old Town. The grammar school is conveniently located; in its neighborhood there are the theater, the OZEANEUM, the maritime museum and the cultural history museum, the city library and the city archive.
The old building was renovated and reconstructed in the 2000/2001 school year. In connection with the modern extension building, a harmonious ensemble was created in which the ambience of the listed old brick building was successfully preserved and this was combined with a modern specialist wing for the natural sciences.
