The German School Valencia ( Spanish Colegio Alemán de Valencia ) is a German school abroad in the Spanish city of Valencia .
history
After German sales representatives hired a kindergarten teacher in Valencia in 1906 and four German students were taught in the city in 1907, the German School Association was founded in 1908. The German School Valencia was founded a year later. The first director sent by the German Reich was Wilhelm Burmeister. Due to the political situation, the following decades were very changeable: from 1914 to 1926 the school was closed in connection with the First World War , then from 1936 to 1939 because of the Spanish Civil War and most recently from 1945 to 1961 after the Second World War . In 1961 they moved into a new school building with financial support from the federal government . Since 1970 it has been possible to take the final Spanish exam.
