Wilhelm-Busch-Schule

The Wilhelm-Busch-Schule is an elementary school in Hilden with two separate buildings located in different parts of the city. The school accommodates around 290 students in twelve classrooms spread across the Richrather Street and Zur Verlach locations.

The school was founded in 1872 as a single classroom with about 70 students under teacher Anton Schneider. Over more than a century, it grew alongside the city and developed from a small village school into a modern educational complex.

The school is named after Wilhelm Busch, a German writer and illustrator famous for his humorous picture stories. This choice of name reflects a school culture that encourages creativity and playfulness in learning.

The school is located at two separate sites across Hilden, with the main facility and most classrooms at the Richrather Street location. Keep in mind that this is an active school facility and is not typically open for casual visits or tours.

The school features a school dog named Emma who regularly visits classrooms to support student learning. This animal-assisted program helps students develop social and emotional skills while bringing a sense of calm to the learning environment.
