Montessori Oberschule Potsdam
public school in Potsdam, Germany
Montessori Oberschule Potsdam, located at Schlüterstraße 2 D-14471 in west Potsdam, Germany, is a Montessori school. It is a public school integrated with a two-year high school (Gymnasium) that follows the Montessori method, or teachings of Maria Montessori. The Head of the school is Ulrike Kegler.
Organization
The school has about 400 students from the German Federal States of Brandenburg and Berlin. It starts in the 'Ersteklasse' (first grade) and makes its way to the tenth. Seventh and eighth graders do not have homework although they must regularly produce reports for their classes.
Instead of having one class for each grade, there are multiple classes with three or two grades. 1st through 3rd are together, 4th through 6th are as well, with the 7th-8th and 9th-10th in their own rooms too. The 1st through 6th grades are located on the first floor, the 9th-10th are on the second and the 7th-8th are on the third.
As most schools in Land Brandenburg (and in Germany), the Oberschule only has six weeks for Sommerferien, summer break.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Montessori Oberschule Potsdam” as public school in Potsdam, Germany. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as public school in Potsdam, Germany. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1946171. Authority coordinates are 52.389, 13.013. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
