Goethe Gymnasium

Goethe Gymnasium is a humanistic secondary school in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district of Berlin, constructed by architect Otto Herrnring using basalt, limestone, and Warthau sandstone. The building contains multiple classrooms and specialized teaching areas designed to support classical education.

The school was founded in 1954, emerging from the former Victoria-Luisen-School and continuing a tradition of classical learning in Berlin. Since then, it has established itself as a recognized place for teaching ancient languages and cultures.

The school takes its name from the renowned German poet and thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, reflecting a commitment to literature and learning. Teaching here centers on classical languages like Latin and Greek, which form the core of study.

Visitors can view the impressive school building from outside and appreciate its postwar architectural design. The location in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district makes it easily accessible and offers a glimpse into an important Berlin educational institution.

The school maintains a long-standing partnership with Denmark's Roskilde Katedralskole, allowing students to build international connections. This exchange links classical education with modern European learning.
