Providing structure and a place of freedom at the same time - living in Louisenlund

Having your own single or double room is very important at boarding school. It offers privacy and serves as a retreat for deceleration, relaxation and recreation. The different residences offer plenty of privacy. They are also a place for social interaction, be it with fellow residents or guests. Daily rituals and routines are developed together, providing structure and predictability in the lively boarding school life. Friendships for life can develop here. Living at Louisenlund goes far beyond the mere materiality and functionality of the buildings. It is a dimension of learning in its own right.

Akazienring - home for 48 students

The Akazienring, which has been honored by the Association of German Architects, offers space for four residential areas. The vision behind the building is to provide graduating classes with a home—nestled in nature near the Schlei—where learning, achievement, and living blend seamlessly together. The circular architecture of the building—affectionately called the “Donut” by the students—houses bright student apartments, inviting common areas, and cozy retreats.

Wald- and Gilden house

The Wald and Gildenhouse are located in the immediate vicinity of the castle and the Kunst- und Kulturhalle. The two newly renovated dormitories offer space for 40 students from year E onwards and are reminiscent of Scandinavian homeliness thanks to their red cladding. In the individually furnished single or double rooms, the young people have space to retreat, while the new common rooms offer the opportunity for group discussions and activities.

Bridge house and Oskars

What would a boarding school be without spaces where students can gather? The newly redesigned Brückenhaus, located at the school’s own sailing harbor, is just such a place. From the terrace, you have a fantastic view of the Schlei. Here, students—as well as all other boarding school residents—can recharge their batteries, relax, or watch the sailors. The student café “Oskars,” named after former student body president Oskar Lürsen, is a gathering place run by students for students. The castle’s former ice cellar, situated directly in the castle park facing the Schlei, offers boarding and day students the opportunity to chat or simply relax in a lounge chair in the sandy area in front of the entrance and catch up.

Those who study hard deserve to celebrate—the Student Center in Louisenlund

Anyone who works hard every day to achieve success should also celebrate those achievements. At the student center—run by an honor society under the guidance of boarding school educators—parties and discos are held once a week: on Saturdays during active weekends and on Thursday evenings during “B-weeks” when students return home for the weekend. Boarding students can dance and celebrate together to the music of the Louisenlunder DJ team. We ensure compliance with the established rules by conducting alcohol tests after every event. The evenings then end at curfew for all students.
