Grundschule an der Herrnstraße, Primary school and architectural monument in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
Grundschule an der Herrnstraße is a primary school housed in a neo-classical building erected in the late 1800s that reflects traditional Bavarian building design. The structure anchors Herrnstraße in Munich's old town with its formal facade and balanced architectural proportions.
The building opened in 1882 as Munich's second public Protestant school and represented an important expansion of education in the city. During World War II, the school building survived intact while much of the surrounding neighborhood was destroyed.
The school's name reflects its position on a historic street in the old town district and remains a gathering place for young students from the city center. Its classical style shapes how the neighborhood looks and functions as a daily part of community life.
The school is located at Herrnstraße 21 in the old town and connects easily to public transportation routes in the area. The protected historical structure contains updated educational facilities to support learning for students today.
After World War II, the building served as a distribution center for bank notes during Germany's monetary reform. This role shows how the school building became essential to the city's recovery beyond its usual educational mission.
