Albert Schweitzer School

The Albert Schweitzer School is an educational complex in Neukölln comprising multiple brick buildings erected in the early 1900s. The structures display architectural features typical of their era, including large windows and symmetrical facades.

Architect Reinhold Kiehl designed this institution in 1906 as a girls' school in the former district of Rixdorf. The school adopted its current name in 1953 to honor physician and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer.

In 1953, the school received its current name in honor of physician Albert Schweitzer, adopting his principle of 'Reverence for Life' as its educational foundation.

The campus functions as an active school and can be viewed from outside during school hours. The architecture is visible from the public paths surrounding the property.

The building was originally designed exclusively for girls before evolving into a coeducational institution. This transformation reflects broader social changes throughout the 20th century.
