Von Saldern-Gymnasium, Secondary school in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany
Von Saldern-Gymnasium occupies a listed historicist schoolhouse built in 1906–1908 as a double school outside the Neustadt built-up area. The red, unplastered brick building is three storeys high, mirror-symmetrical, and has three to five wings; the schoolyard lies to the north.
The school was established in 1991 and continues the legacy of its predecessor institution, which operated from 1589 until World War II ended. The earlier school served as an educational center for nearly four centuries before its closure.
The school functions as a Europaschule, emphasizing mathematics, informatics, natural sciences, and technology while participating in international exchange programs.
The school is located at Franz-Ziegler-Straße 29 and is easily accessible on foot or by public transportation. Keep in mind this is an active school building, so visiting requires prior arrangement with the administration.
Every year on 31 March, the school holds a memorial service for teacher Heinrich Richter, teacher Friedrich Kiehr and pupil Karl-Heinz Wehn, who were killed when bombs hit the von Saldern'sche Realgymnasium am Salzhof shortly before the end of the Second World War.
