Albert Schweitzer High School, Educational architectural monument in Erlangen, Germany.

Albert Schweitzer High School is located in Erlangen and features specialized laboratories for science instruction alongside a dedicated sports hall. The campus accommodates multiple teaching wings designed for different academic programs.

Founded on 7 September 1965 as Oberrealschule Erlangen-West, it opened in the Hermann Hedenus School building with about 60 pupils in two fifth-grade classes. It was renamed Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium on 26 November 1965 after the parents' council voted unanimously, receiving the last letter Albert Schweitzer wrote, presented by professor Heinrich Franke. A dedicated building followed, later extended, with mobile classrooms added in the 1990s and a canteen building in 2005.

The school has borne the name of physician and Nobel Peace laureate Albert Schweitzer since 1965. This choice reflects a commitment to education and humanitarian values that remain visible in the school's approach today.

The school is an active Gymnasium, not a tourist site, so the grounds and buildings are not open to visitors; the campus lies west of the Regnitz, near the Hermann Hedenus School where the first classes were held in 1965. The schoolyard with its one-storey classroom block from the 1990s and the 2005 canteen building can be seen from the street.

The school partners with HC Erlangen, a handball club that uses the facility as a training center for its athletes. This arrangement allows talented student players to develop their skills at a high level while continuing their academic studies.
