Erika-Mann-Grundschule, Primary school and architectural monument in Wedding district, Berlin, Germany.
Erika-Mann-Grundschule is a primary school with architectural monument status in Berlin-Mitte and consists of two separate buildings with ionic pilasters. At the center stands a prominent section housing two stacked gymnasiums.
The school building opened in 1914 based on designs by city architect Ludwig Hoffmann. It was built as one of Berlin's major school projects in the early 20th century.
The school carries the name of actress and writer Erika Mann, who lived from 1905 to 1969 and was known as the daughter of Thomas Mann. Her name honors an artist who advocated for cultural and political causes.
The site is located in Berlin-Mitte and is recognizable from outside as a distinctive building with two wings. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active school where classes run regularly.
Students from Technical University Berlin transformed the school corridors into multifunctional spaces with creative names such as Snuffle Garden and Dragon's Breath. These artistic interventions show how contemporary uses connect with historical architecture.
