Am Marktplatz 18, 28832 Achim



In 1894 the 'Marktschule' was constructed as a Neo-Gothic brick building by the young architect Meislahn. As common in that time arches and adornments decorated the exterior walls. Above the entrance door is the following saying: '1894 Gott zur Ehr – Der Gemeinde zum Segen.' (1894 To the glory of God - a blessing for the community). The school has changed it's face over the years. It was raised and some annexes followed.

Today the Marktschule houses the 2. Achimer Gymnasium, the "Gymnasium Am Markt" (GamMa).
