Walther-Rathenau-Schule, Heritage school building in Grunewald, Germany.

Walther-Rathenau-Schule sits on Herbertstraße and displays early 20th-century German architecture with a structured facade and traditional educational design. The building contains multiple wings organized around courtyards, housing classrooms, science facilities, and spaces for school activities.

The school was founded in 1902 as Grunewald-Gymnasium and renamed in 1946 to honor Walther Rathenau, who was killed near the site in 1922. The name change served as a memorial to this notable figure from the area's history.

The building sits in a neighborhood that once held a large Jewish community, shaping the school's awareness of diversity and tolerance today. This legacy remains visible in how the school community engages with questions of inclusion and remembrance.

Access to the site is limited during school hours since it operates as an active learning institution. Visitors should come outside class times or arrange advance notice to see the architecture and campus grounds.

The school newspaper 'Shyft' has won multiple awards and is entirely produced and designed by students. This publication reflects the strong student commitment to journalism and creative expression at this institution.
