The Hersfeld Gymnasium (later called the old "monastery" school)
at the New Market, which Carl Dellevie attended from 1825 to
1831. The photo shows the school in the year 1876. On the right in
the picture is the former orphanage, which was replaced in 1909 by
the new main building of the Gymnasium.
At Eastertime in 1825, Carl Dellevie enrolled in the
Hersfeld Gymnasium, where he took his Abitur
examinations in March 1931, which he passed brilliantly.
The Abitur certificate of March 17, 1831 attests to his
consistently good proficiency, even "very good" in Greek
and history, and "for the most part very good proficiency
in Latin." His Hersfeld teachers evaluated him as being
"quite well prepared for academic [university] studies." In
their comments, they attested to his "very good ability and
largely first-rate studiousness," as well as "a laudatory
attentiveness, for the most part." One further comment:
"His behavior was good."
