Lilienthal-Gymnasium Anklam

The school was hardly destroyed during the Second World War. Only the school's gym burned down after it was probably hit by a bomb. In the last days of the war, the building served, among other things, as a workshop for the Kriegssachschädenamtes and as a Hilfslazarett for wounded soldiers of the Volkssturm, but also for school children who were injured in battle. Most of the school's students were evacuated to the outskirts of Berlin unless they were deployed as soldiers themselves. About 60 teachers and students died in fighting between 1939 and 1945.
