Wilhelm Raabe School

The Wilhelm Raabe School is a municipal gymnasium in the Hanseatic and university town of Lüneburg in Lower Saxony. The school was founded in 1830 as a private girls' high school, has been under municipal administration since 1875, and was converted from a girls' gymnasium to a gymnasium for boys and girls in 1971/1972. The school's name refers to the writer Wilhelm Raabe. Located south of the old town in the Rotes Feld district, the WRS is attended by about 1100 students and operates with four to six classes.
The current focuses of the modern language gymnasium are foreign languages and the mathematical-scientific area, along with special focus areas such as brass classes, early French instruction, and various activities as a UNESCO project school in the fields of “Human and Environment,” “Communication among Peoples,” and “Intercultural Learning.” As a model school, the Wilhelm Raabe School has actively pursued climate and environmental protection since the early 1990s, for example by covering about one fifth of its electricity needs with self-built solar panels.
