Hans-Erlwein-Gymnasium

The Hans-Erlwein-Gymnasium is a school building in Dresden's Gruna district with two connected wings rising five stories. The campus features modern classrooms, a library, sports facilities, and a Green Classroom with circular seating for outdoor learning.

The school was built in 1914 under the direction of city architect Hans Erlwein and displays the Reform architecture of the early 20th century. Its design was part of new school building traditions that brought functionality and openness to learning spaces.

The name honors Hans Erlwein, the city architect whose designs shaped Dresden's character. Students here create the school newspaper 'Riss', one of the oldest student publications in the city.

The grounds are designed with accessibility in mind, making it easy to navigate for everyone. The specialized learning areas are conveniently located and support different types of instruction both inside and outside classrooms.

The school produces its own podcast called '25 Minuten Pause', which features interviews with teachers and educational content. This format extends learning beyond the walls of traditional classrooms.
