Hans-und-Hilde-Coppi-Gymnasium

Hans-und-Hilde-Coppi-Gymnasium is a secondary school housed in a building designed by architect Friedrich Hennings and completed in 1937 in the Lichtenberg district. The school educates roughly 700 students with a curriculum that includes multiple language options and arts instruction.

The building opened in 1937 as a primary school and went through several name changes over the decades. Following German reunification in 1991, it was transformed into the secondary school it remains today.

The institution maintains a commemorative bust of Hans Coppi in its foyer and integrates music and arts education into its core curriculum.

The school is located in the Karlshorst area and accessible by public transportation. Visitors planning to see the building should check ahead to learn when school events or open days might allow access to the campus.

The school survived a planned merger in 2006 thanks to strong local opposition expressed through a referendum. A modern sports building was rebuilt after fire destroyed the previous facility in 2019.
