1950 – 1959

  • 1950: March 31st: the first general assembly of the Deutsche Schulverein was held after the end of the Second World War. The Alejandro Von Humboldt Corporation was created, replacing the Deutsche Schulverein, with Pablo Bickenbach as President.
  • 1951: Colegio Andino’s third house was rented, and Dr Müller delivered said school to the Deutsche Schulverein. The construction of a new school building on a lot in the El Retiro neighborhood is announced. The project of the famous Hungarian architect Nicolás Von Nessa was chosen, and the construction management was given to the firm Ibañez & Manner.
  • 1952: On February 8th, 1952, in the presence of the highest ecclesiastical and civil authorities, Monsignor Emilio de Brigard blessed the school’s first buildings. This fulfilled the desire of the founders and school directors to return the trust of Colombian and German parents with a modern and well-endowed educational organization, for which they had the invaluable advice and financial and pedagogical support of the German Government.
    Far from being satisfied with the successes achieved and demonstrated by the school’s dramatic growth, the Alexander von Humboldt Cultural Corporation has not rested in its efforts to promote the campus’s development and respond to the expectations of parents, students, and the faculty.
  • 1953: The Ministry of Education approves the school’s primary and secondary sections. The school begins work again with 500 students and 38 teachers.
  • 1954: Five classrooms are inaugurated, and Bernhard Schulz is appointed as the school’s new principal.
  • 1956: Hernán Beltz, future Minister of Public Works of Colombia, graduates from the high school.
  • 1958: Walter Held is appointed as President of the Alejandro Von Humboldt Corporation.
  • 1959: The school’s alumni association is founded. Pascual Leuschener is appointed as the school’s new principal.
