The German School Moscow ( Russian: Немецкая школа в Москве) is the school of the German Embassy in Moscow and one of 140 private German schools abroad . She has been wearing it since the mid-1990sthe name of the German-Russian physician, humanist and benefactor Friedrich Joseph Haass , the "holy doctor of Moscow".

The school and kindergarten are located on a site that belongs to the German Embassy in Moscow as a diplomatic property and is therefore subject to the “Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations”. This also applies to the kindergarten branch on Mosfilmovskaya Street.

history

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Protestant pastor Glück founded a grammar school in Moscow as the first German school in Russia. Over the next two centuries there was both a Protestant and a Catholic German school in Moscow.

After the end of the Second World War and with the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic , two German schools were established in Moscow that belonged to the respective embassies: at the beginning of the 1960s there was a small school of the embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany with less than 100 students . The German embassy transferred the operational management of the embassy school to the "German School and Kindergarten Association Moscow", which had been registered in Germany since 1961. The association is supported personally and financially by the Federal Republic of Germany on the basis of the Schools Abroad Act.

The school of the GDR embassy with auditorium, sports hall and sports fields as well as a kindergarten was opened in the early 1970s in the 'Nemgorodok' (German town) in southwest Moscow on Prospekt Vernadskowo in the residential area of ​​the same name. It was last attended by up to 550 students. After the end of the GDR, the Federal Republic took over the residential and administrative buildings in "Nemgorodok" and the school.

The school received the Certificate of Excellent German School Abroad in 2010 and defended it in 2016.

In 2016, DSM teachers initiated the international student project "Remembering, Commemorating, Reconciling", which received special attention due to Vladimir Putin's visit. Since 2018, this project has been taking place between the DSM, Middle School 12 from Rschew and the Johannes Brahms High School in Hamburg.
