Foundation

Like other schools at the time the Goethe-School could not avoid Gleichschaltung (Nazification). In 1933 Ott was de facto replaced by Guido Oeß who had taught at the school since 1914, and been a Nazi Party member since 1929. Ott was formally dismissed in 1934. During World War II, the school was again used as accommodation for various organizations.^{[citation needed]} It was severely damaged in 1944, by a series of allied airstrikes: especially the ones on 26/27 September and 4 December 1944. ^[1]
