HISTORY

In 1889, Ulrich Schmidt founded the Institut Dr. Schmidt and quickly made an international name for the school, with its first heyday at the turn of the century.

The First World War and the death of the school’s founder in 1924 created difficulties for the school, which were could be resolved in part by changing it into a foundation in 1930. Formed out of the Institut Dr. Schmidt, the Institut auf dem Rosenberg was established and the Gademann name has been inextricably linked with the school ever since.

After the Second World War, another period of growth began at the Institut. At the beginning of the 50s the school was awarded various examination rights. Since then, German, English, American, Italian and Swiss school leaving examinations have been prepared for and conducted at the Institut.
