The public business school Kellinghusenstraße was founded as girls' school in 1879, and it was not until 1891 that boys were admitted. After WWII British troops seized the adjacent baths Holthusenbad and used the school as army post office. In the late 1950s the business school moved into the building. Beside the classically furnished class rooms there are new computing facilities, a plain auditorium and simple corridors.
The building of the Warburg library of cultural sciences was errected in 1925-26 by Gerhard Langmaack with the contribution of Fritz Schumacher. The oval reading hall which reaches out into the garden is especially interesting. Here the first episode of the news broadcast Tagesschau was shot. In 1993, the City of Hamburg purchased and restored the building according to the guidelines of architectural conservation. Today it harbours the department of art history of the University of Hamburg and the Warburg archive for science emigration.
