The Gymnasium Soltau is the only Gymnasium and one of the largest schools in the town of Soltau in Lower Saxony.

Gymnasium Soltau
Address
Ernst-August-Straße 17 Soltau Lower Saxony Germany
Information
School type	Gymnasyum
Established	1893
School district	Heidekreis
Headmaster	Volker Wrigge

The Gymnasium was founded in 1893 as a private secondary school. After years of unsuccessful attempts at state recognition under principal Hans Christian Cordsen, the school was recognized as a state secondary school for boys by the National Socialist government on 1 April 1944. It has been known by its current name since 1956. After almost three years of construction, the multi-tract school building in Böhmewald was opened in 1958 and is still in use today.

The Gymnasium Soltau has had up to 1,400 students several times in its history, and after some restructuring, almost 1,000 students attend today. Volker Wrigge has been principal since 2015. The Gymnasium's logo is the Möbius strip, and a sculpture by Manfred Klatte adorns the school's entrance^[1]. Among other things, the school focuses on vocational preparation, exchange programs and various music and theater groups, which regularly perform in the auditorium of the Gymnasium.
