Friedländer-Schule Berlin - German language school in Berlin, Germany |
1 - Language School Overview :
The Friedländer School is a recognised language school in Berlin in which people of various nationalities learn German. Founded by Professor Veronika Schmidt Dr. phil. habil., the language school is today managed by her son, Ulrich Schmidt Dipl.-Germanist.
The school was named after David Friedländer (1750-1834), a disciple of the enlightenment and active campaigner for a respected position for the Jewish people in Prussia, and for the equal status of “foreigners”. Like his friend, Moses Mendelssohn, he spread the idea of tolerance and contributed greatly to the emancipation of the Jewish people. David Friedländer formed the first Jewish free school in Berlin, where he made German the language of instruction so that people from different cultural backgrounds, eastern Jews and Germans, would come closer together or, as we would say today, in order to promote integration. He became the first Jewish town councillor of Berlin.
2 - Location :
The headquarters of the Friedländer School is situated in the centre of the city. Whoever comes to Berlin wants to see and experience the best of the city. A great many of the city’s attractions are to be found within the vicinity of the Friedländer School in the district of Friedrichshain. The fascination of this district of Berlin is great and above all draws young people to it. Here one can discover the changing life of the city in its contrasts between old and new, between its history and the present, and between east and west. Life begins in this district in the evening, when the cafes and scene pubs fill up and a colourful mixture of people take their places at the tables. It seems as if everyone knows everyone, for everyone speaks with everyone, even if they have never met before. And don’t forget: the small theatres with their surprisingly good programmes and actors. On sunny days it is well worth making an excursion into the green countryside and to the many lakes in the outskirts of Berlin, which are quickly reached by S-Bahn.
