From the mod 1920's the school became a full-time school are renamed as a 'School of Commerce for Girls' In 1941 it was confiscated by the Third Reich and re-opened in 1950 as a business school offering a four-year course, run as a professional school leading to Middle Certificate standard. In 1972 the school was developed to become a School of Economics with a four-year course.
