The currently oldest school in Memel/Klaipėda celebrated its 150 years anniversary. The school building hardly changed (only the façade is beautiful yellowly painted today, and an additional third floor was added) reminds of the times, when German pupils studied here. Its founding was in 1855, and it was named "Parkschule". In the beginning of the 20th century it was enlarged and a completely new section was added on in 1932, and the school now got the name "Simon-Dach-Schule". This name is unchanged to this day. The school fosters its long and interesting history. For this reason a small museum was founded in the year of the anniversary celebration. Memories of the German, the Russian and the current Lithuanian periods of the school history have found their place here.

There are many contacts to former German students. But unfortunately a lot of information about the German era, such as old photos, documents about teachers and pupils, class-registers and other school documents is still missing.
Everyone who can help to find such material or can provide it, would make an important contribution so that the school museum of a day is able to show the school history as complete as possible.

The school is pleased about every information, but primarily about such for the time period until end of the second World War. If you can help please contact the school and mention the subject: "Simon-Dach-School until 1945".
