History
The school was founded by Philipp Palm, who was the school's principal, Nena Kerner, Silke Steinfadt and Thomas Simmerl in September 2007 in Rahlstedt with 85 pupils and six teachers. It was the first school in Germany to be organised on the Sudbury school concept. During the first year, there were reports of theft and violence at the school. However, after three years, it was recognised by the Hamburg school authority as a state-approved substitute school (German: staatlich genehmigte Ersatzschule), and the Hamburg school authority agreed to contribute to the running costs from 2011. In 2010, the school had increased the number of teachers to ten.
