[citation needed] A cultural agreement between Germany and Iran led to the establishment of the first German school in Tehran in 1907.

This school had to close in World War II after the German teachers were interned after the occupation of the Allies in 1941.

The DST was entitled to take the school-leaving qualifications recognized in Germany and in 1964 carried out a German Abitur examination in Tehran for the first time.

During this time, the school was relocated from the city center to the Yakhchal Street in the Gholhak province, where many Germans and Swiss lived.

[citation needed] The school was once again relocated from the Gholhak province to the Residence of the British Embassy in the Shariati Street in the Dowlat district.
