Histoire et architecture

Le campus GLS est un ensemble historique de bâtiments dans le centre de Berlin. Prévu au 19ème siècle, l'ensemble accueillait à l'origine un lycée et un bain public (aujourd'hui, l'hôtel Oderberger).

École et restaurant

L'école a été construite dans les années 1960, sur les ruines laissées par les bombardements de la seconde guerre mondiale. Le style rappelle le Bauhaus, très moderne, très fonctionnel

GLS a acheté le bâtiment en 2005. Aujourd'hui, les 3 étages supérieurs accueillent des salles de classe. Au rez-de-chaussée, GLS a ouvert un restaurant servant une cuisine allemande moderne.

The apartments

The 2 buildings, that accommodate the apartments, were built in 1867 and 1910. 

Historically, they were part of a public school that operated from 1867 till 2005, when the Berlin senate closed it down. 

GLS converted the former classrooms into apartments for students.

Hotel Oderberger

The hotel is the most spectacular building on campus, a Berlin landmark under monument protection. 

It was built in 1902 as a public bath house. 

The baths survived WW II but were shut down in 1986 due to damages in the bassin.

The baths dilapidated till GLS bought them in 2011 and converted them into a boutique hotel, Hotel Oderberger Berlin.

The hotel rooms are in the 2 wings flanking the cathedral-like pool hall in the center.
