The construction
The current school building of the Leibniz School was built in 1904–1906 for the Friedrichs Realgymnasium according to the plans of city architect Ludwig Hoffmann in the typical Italian High Renaissance style on a continuous plot between Schleiermacherstraße and Mittenwalder Straße, on which the house was previously located Mason had confessed. The construction costs amounted to around 770,000 marks , other sources speak of 860,000 marks. The sculptor Josef Rauch was commissioned with the sculptural facade decoration , whose designs were executed in Dorla shell limestone .
The west wing was largely destroyed in the Second World War ; only the facade remained, so that the school had no auditorium for decades. After the reconstruction in the years 1955–1957, this part of the building was used as a gymnasium until a multifunctional hall was set up there in 2006 with the construction of the school sports hall on Baerwaldstrasse.
The extension at Schleiermacherstraße 22 was built in 1970–1972 as a four- story steel frame building. After an energetic renovation and modernization, it was put back into operation in 2011.
Two important herms have adorned the school yard since the 1980s: On the initiative of the headmaster at the time, the statues of Ludwig Uhland and Heinrich von Kleist , copies of which are now in the nearby Viktoriapark , were not moved to the warehouse under the Kreuzberg monument, which protects them from damage should, but rather be placed in the school yard, which is not open to the public.
The facade of the old building on Schleiermacherstraße was renovated in 1993.
Since the school took part in the “Berlin chalk-free” program, conventional blackboards have increasingly been equipped with interactive whiteboards .
