Alexander-von-Humboldt-Oberschule, Bauhaus school building in Köpenick, Berlin, Germany

The Alexander-von-Humboldt-Oberschule features a wing-shaped complex with an entrance hall, constructed with unglazed yellow ceramic tiles and steel reinforced concrete structure.

Built in 1929 by architect Max Taut, the educational institution served as accommodation for rowers during the 1936 Summer Olympics and as an emergency hospital after World War II.

A ceramic relief by Rudolf Belling at the main entrance depicts Saint Dorothy distributing bread to refugees, connecting education with social responsibility.

The school, located at Oberspreestraße 173-181 near Spindlersfeld S-Bahn station, currently educates 808 students with 71 teachers in subjects including sciences and languages.

The main building structure combines five classroom wings in a specific angular configuration, demonstrating Bauhaus architectural principles through its geometric composition.
