History[]

Elvira Szittnick founded a girls' secondary school on Bahnstraße, later Hindenburgstraße, in Mittelhufen in 1902.^[1] Three years later it moved to a new building on the same street.^[2] It was acquired by the Prussian state and converted into a gymnasium in 1921,^[1] taking on the tradition of the former Königliche Luisenschule of Posen (Poznań).^[3] Alfred Walsdorff was its only director. It closed in January 1945 during World War II. The building is now used as a school in Kaliningrad, Russia.^[4] Amongst its better known pupils was Hannah Arendt, who enrolled there in August 1913.
