    Until the end of the 18th century, the Meiningen city fortifications were a complex defense system consisting of city walls, towers, ramparts, moats and ravelines that surrounded and protected the city of Meiningen. The moat system as the only part of the city fortifications that has existed to the present day is the best preserved moat system in Thuringia as a ground monument.

    The Schule am Pulverrasen is a state primary and regular school in the southern Thuringian district town of Meiningen.
    In its more than 100-year history, the listed school building has housed several types of school.
    The school is named after the adjacent small Pulverrasen park, the name of which is derived from the “Powder Tower” on the edge of the former city fortifications.
    The school grounds are located on the southwestern edge of the historic old town on a river island directly on the Werra.
