Königin-Luise-Schule, school
The Königin-Luise-Schule is a school building in Kaliningrad, Russia, dating from the early 1900s. It features typical early 20th-century architecture with a brick facade, tall windows, and a simple functional structure without elaborate decoration.
The building was founded in 1811 as a private girls' school and moved several times through Königsberg before relocating to Landhofmeisterstrasse in 1901. It survived World War II without severe damage and continues to operate as school number 41 today.
The school was named after Queen Louise of Prussia in 1938, connecting local education to Prussian heritage. Today it stands in Kaliningrad as a reminder of when the city was called Königsberg and part of a different nation.
The building is located in central Kaliningrad and is easily accessible from nearby streets. Visitors can view the exterior and photograph the architecture, though access inside may be limited since the building remains an active school.
The building survived World War II without severe damage, unlike many other structures in Königsberg that were destroyed. Its preservation makes it a rare example of the city's pre-war architecture and shows the durability of its solid construction.
