Pestalozzi-Gymnasium Dresden

Pestalozzi-Gymnasium Dresden, Public secondary school in Leipziger Vorstadt, Dresden, Germany.

Pestalozzi-Gymnasium is a listed school building on Pestalozziplatz in Dresden's Leipziger Vorstadt, built 1913–1915 under city architect Hans Erlwein. The plastered facade with Erlwein rough render is divided by large pilasters and an attic storey; a semicircular porch on six Doric columns forms the entrance, and the 35-metre school tower carries a copper lantern and a clock. The gable bears the inscription "Die Kraft eines jeden Volkes liegt in seiner Jugend".

The XI. Bürgerschule, planned for the growing population of Pieschen, was built from autumn 1913 on the Riesaer Platz, today's Pestalozziplatz. It was inaugurated on 11 October 1915, when 900 girls and boys moved in. In 1927 the Bürgerschule was dissolved and the building became the 29. Volksschule, which introduced reform-pedagogy approaches and separated girls' and boys' classes.

The school takes its name from Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, a Swiss educator who believed that learning should be rooted in direct experience. That spirit still shows in the way the school today combines science and arts programs under one roof.

The school is in the Leipziger Vorstadt neighborhood and is easy to reach by public transport. Since it is an active school, access to the building is generally limited to the exterior unless a visit has been arranged in advance.

The building was planned as one of two mirror-image main blocks, but the second complex, meant for a district school and Realschule, was never built, and the eastern main building stayed unfinished. The janitor's and stoker's house was to link the two. The 35-metre school tower carries a copper roof lantern and a clock with a walkway.
