Kolumbus-Grundschule

Kolumbus-Grundschule is a primary school and architectural monument in Reinickendorf featuring a stepped design that brings natural light throughout its multiple levels. The grounds include play areas with equipment, a small sports facility with a running track, and a jumping pit for students.

Architect Sergius Ruegenberg designed the main building complex in the 1960s with construction completed between 1968 and 1970. This period marked the creation of a modern school building following post-war design principles.

The school carries the name of explorer Christopher Columbus, which shapes the local identity with its historical reference. The learning community uses mixed-age classes for the first three grades.

The school grounds are accessible during school hours and offer well-organized outdoor areas for movement and play. Visitors should follow public access areas and come outside class times to better experience the architecture.

In 2005 former kindergarten facilities were integrated to expand supervision and support programs for younger students. This expansion allowed the school to offer a broader range of services to its youngest learners.
