Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium, school in Germany
The Käthe-Kollwitz-Gymnasium is a school in Halberstadt housed in an early 20th-century red-brick building with rounded corners and decorative brickwork. The structure features large windows of varying shapes, a mansard roof with gabled sections, and stone details framing the main entrance.
The school traces its roots to a higher girls school founded in the early 1800s, which moved into its current building in 1830. After World War II, it merged with other local schools and adopted the name of artist Käthe Kollwitz to honor her commitment to art and social responsibility.
The school is named after artist Käthe Kollwitz, reflecting a commitment to art and social awareness. Walking through the halls, you notice student artwork and cultural displays that show how creativity is valued in this learning space.
The school is centrally located on Käthe-Kollwitz-Platz in Halberstadt and is accessible on foot, by bicycle, or bus. The building offers parking, bright classrooms with large windows, sports facilities, and outdoor spaces where students can spend time during breaks.
The building was designed by architect Richard Sinning and blends Renaissance and Baroque styles in its details and roof design. This architectural mix makes it a rare example of school building design from the early 20th century in the region.
