“A school with a motto from Goethe himself?” a student might have wondered in 1898, upon entering the newly inaugurated 81. Grundschule “Robert Weber”. This school, nestled in the heart of Dresden-Dölzschen, boasts a rich history intertwined with the growth of the community. The 81. Grundschule “Robert Weber” stands on the site of a much older institution. Records show Dölzschen, then called “Delsan” meaning “castle dwellers”, existed as far back as 1144. The current school building, however, opened its doors to eager learners in 1898. The school’s namesake, Robert Weber (1849-1924), a dedicated teacher, was a key figure in its founding. His legacy lives on not only in the school’s name, but also in its motto, a quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: “Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will learn.” This philosophy continues to shape the school’s approach to education. During the GDR era, the school was known as the “Willi-Ermer-Oberschule”, honoring an anti-fascist resistance fighter. After reunification, it reclaimed its original name, reaffirming its connection to Robert Weber’s vision. If you visit the 81. Grundschule “Robert Weber” today, you can contact them at 0351 / 4116011 or visit their website at https://81gs-dresden.de.

Grundschule “Robert Weber” continues to nurture young minds, inspiring them to learn and grow.
