Administrative history: In connection with the separation of state and church, a state school system with general compulsory schooling was created in Hamburg relatively late. The basis was the "Law on Education" of 11. 11. 1870. In 1863 the Interim High School Authority was established, which replaced the Scholarchate and from 1871 was called the High School Authority. It was divided into four sections: 1. section for scientific institutions, 2. section for higher education and from 1874 also for private education, 3. section for elementary education including teacher seminars, 4. section for rural education (until 1874 for private education), which was dissolved around 1920; only individual files were continued until 1938. From 1865 to 1914 the Oberschulbehörde was also responsible for the trade school system, which was taken over in 1914 by the Behörde für das Gewerbe und Fortbildungsschulwesen and in 1922 by the Berufsschulbehörde. In 1921, the 1st Section was spun off and integrated into the newly founded higher education authority. In 1927, in the course of an administrative reform, the main registry was merged with the administrative registries. In 1931, the Oberschulbehörde and the Berufsschulbehörde were united to form the Landesschulbehörde, which from 01.06.1933, together with the Hochschulbehörde, formed the Landesunterrichtsbehörde, which consisted of the two departments General Administration and Education and Higher Education. On 24.09.1936, the State Teaching Authority and the Authority for Church and Art Affairs were merged to form the Culture and School Authority, which thus took over the tasks of the Administration for Cultural Affairs. On 01.04.1938, the higher education system and parts of the school system were formed into the 4th (school and university) department of the state administration and the other tasks were transferred to the municipal administration. In 1945 the school administration was established, in 1947 the school authority was founded with the three departments 1. general department, 2. university department, 3. school department. From 01.01.1971 to 29.02.1980 the school administration belonged to the authority for school, youth and vocational training, from 01.03.1980 to 28.02.1989 to the authority for school and vocational training and since 01.03.1989 to the authority for school, youth and vocational training.
