The gymnasium and high school for boys was located on Otylii. The street name was changed to Ottilienstrasse when German occupation began in 1939. See

User Comment:
Josef Laeslau lived at Gdanska 27 in Lodz, Poland. In the ghetto, he lived at Hanseaten Strasse 27 Flat 15a before moving to Altmarkt 3 on 02/01/1942.
Approver Comment:
I agree with your assessment of how and when he moved in the ghetto. The database you cite lists his address after January 2, 1942 as B Rynek, or Balucki Rynek, the equivalent of the German Baluter Ring, rather than Alt-Markt (Stary Rynek in Polish). The JewishGen database, however, lists the final address as Alt-Markt 3. What do you suppose this means? At any rate, please re-enter the Alt-Markt address with the correct source cited, and please check how you've spelled Josef's surname in the research notes. Thanks!
