Yunus Emre Secondary School

The structure was used for the education of foreign students under the name “German School” following its construction, and later under the name “French School.”
In 1934, the Ministry of Education purchased the building; the structure was put into service as a Turkish primary school.
The students of the three-grade primary school, which provided education in the building named Yağhane in Kocamustafapaşa, moved to this building in 1934 under the name “52nd Primary School.”
Construction of a new 9-classroom building in the school garden began in 2013 and was completed in April 2015.
The restoration of the old historical building is ongoing.
Institutional records state that as of 2018, full-day education continues with both the new additional building and the historical building.
Education is carried out in the Yedikule Middle School building as double-shift schooling (afternoon session).

The structure has also been referred to by the names “German School” and “French School.”
The school was opened to serve the children of the Rumelia Railways employees.
It is stated that it was registered under the name “École allemande à Yédi-Koulé” in the 1902 list of German institutions.
The building is associated with the eclectic style and symmetrical facade composition that became widespread during the late Ottoman period; it features a corridor-oriented, discipline-based “city school” plan scheme.
The structure is two stories high; it consists of three large and six small rooms and covers an area of 225 m².
The historical building and the additional building are used together on the campus.
