Bessel-Oberrealschule
The Bessel-Oberrealschule was an Oberrealschule in Königsberg, Germany.
History
The school was founded on 16 October 1865 as a Mittelschule, the Löbenichtische Bürgerschule, on Mittelanger in Löbenicht.[1] Its first headmaster was Julius Erdmann, who served until 1893. It was elevated to be the Löbenichtische höhere Bürgerschule in 1880 and the Löbenichtische Realschule or Städtische Realschule in 1902.[2] It moved to a new building on Glaserstraße near Königstraße in 1903. Professor Otto Portzehl headed the school from 1907, when it was converted into a municipal Oberrealschule. It was named after astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel in 1921.[2] The building survived World War II and is now used as a music school in Kaliningrad, Russia.[3]
