Wilhelm-Raabe-Schule

Wilhelm-Raabe-Schule is a gymnasium located in the Rotes Feld district, south of Lüneburg's old town, serving students across different grade levels. The school building itself is protected as a heritage monument and shapes the cityscape through its architectural significance.

The school was founded in 1830 as a private school for girls and later named after a significant German author. In 1875 it developed into a public gymnasium that continued to expand over time.

The school maintains international partnerships through UNESCO projects, focusing on environmental awareness, intercultural learning, and global understanding.

The school campus is located in an easily accessible area in the southern part of town and can be reached conveniently by public transport. Visitors can find orientation through the school's digital information systems or by speaking with staff on site.

The school building has used solar energy since the 1990s, with installations partly built by students themselves. This project makes it a practical example of environmental awareness in school life.
