Fritz-Erler-Schule Pforzheim

Fritz-Erler-Schule Pforzheim is a commercial vocational school offering training in business and commerce-related fields. The modern building on Westliche Karl-Friedrich-Straße includes classrooms, sports facilities, and outdoor areas for students.

The school was established in 1859 when Mayor Carl Zerrenner launched a trade course to support Pforzheim's growing jewelry industry. This responsiveness to local economic needs shaped the institution from its beginning.

The school is named after a notable political figure and awards an annual prize recognizing the connection between historical knowledge and contemporary life. This recognition reflects the institution's commitment to fostering learning and civic engagement.

The school is located on Westliche Karl-Friedrich-Straße and can be reached by public transportation. Note that as an active educational facility, access and visiting hours may be restricted.

The school building served as a press center during a Tour de France stage in 1987, showing its adaptability beyond educational purposes. This event demonstrates how the facility's infrastructure proved valuable for major sporting events.
