The Hindenburg-Oberrealschule or Hindenburgschule was an Oberrealschule in Königsberg, Germany.
The school began as the Städtische Steindammer Mittelschule, a municipal Mittelschule in the Steindamm quarter.[1] It opened with 27 students in three classes in October 1868 and grew quickly under headmaster Carl A. Kißner. It moved to a stately building on 1. Fließstraße in 1890[2] and was renamed the Steindammer Realschule in 1902.[1]
In January 1917 the growing school moved to a new building constructed on Wallring in northern Tragheim from 1914 to 1917. At the same time it was dedicated as the Hindenburg-Realschule, in honor of Paul von Hindenburg.[3] Professor Otto Portzehl led its elevation to the Hindenburg-Oberrealschule during Easter 1918. By 1920 it was the largest school in Königsberg, with 780 students.[3] The building now houses part of the Kaliningrad State Technical University in Kaliningrad, Russia.[4] [2]
