context_page_description: Hans-Dietrich-Genscher-Gymnasium Halle is a secondary school in Germany. It was established in November 1908. Currently, about 600 children attend the school. The school is situated right in the city center of Halle an der Saale and is widely known for its two educational profiles: German secondary school and bilingual English-German profile. In 2009 the school celebrated its 100th anniversary. The school is named after Hans-Dietrich Genscher, a German politician.
context_section_description: The school building displays the basic architectural principles of the Gründerzeit of Germany. The building itself is made of brick masonry, while its façade is gray plastered. With its richly decorated façades and magnificent size the school is a striking panorama, in contrast, to other typical buildings around it. Thus, a visible difference between the apartment buildings and the school is created. In 1990 the building was placed on Saxony-Anhalt's Historic Preservation's list of the most endangered historic sites.
