Deutsche Schule Istanbul, also known as Özel Alman Lisesi ("German High School Istanbul", in English) is one of the most prestigious high schools in Turkey. It was established in May 1868 for the children of German traders, artists, engineers and diplomats living in Istanbul. Because of the increasing number of students and the destruction of the building due to the 1894 earthquake in Istanbul, the school moved to its present building at Şahkulu Bostan Street in Beyoglu. The school had a lot of troubles during the World War I, however, once the war was over, the school started to educate both German and Turkish students according to the German high school system from Kindergarten through high school. ds logo-wikipedia claims fair use File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ... 1868 (MDCCCLXVIII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a leap year starting on Friday of the 12-day-slower Julian calendar. ...
