The German School in Lisbon is a private school that was founded on August 1, 1848 on the initiative of the German Protestant community in Lisbon . It is the oldest German school abroad on the Iberian Peninsula . After changing locations, the school was rebuilt in January 1963 on a piece of land acquired by the Federal Republic of Germany , its current location in the municipality of Lumiar , Telheiras district . The architect was Otto Bartning . The school was his last work; construction was completed by his office partner Otto Dörzbach .
The private school has been approved by the Portuguese Ministry of Education. The school is run by the German School Association in Lisbon, a non-profit, not-for-profit company .
