I came across this postcard (pic 1) showing the HJ Reichsjugendführerschule in Potsdam (Reich Youth Leadership School) and thought I'd try and find out whether it survived the war. The old address was Reichsjugendführerschule I, Neue Königstrasse 66, Potsdam but at some point that street and house number was redesignated as Berliner Str. 90, 14467 Potsdam but after a bit of sniffing around I found that it is still there and that it is now one of two buildings used by the Potsdam district court.
Von Schirach had a long-running battle with the Potsdam town planners concerning the erection of a fence around the property apparently and it would seem that whoever didn't want the fence won. Even today there is still no fence boundary around the grounds.
The property was built in 1896 by Carl Enders and in 1929 it became a Jewish girls' home. 4 years later it was procured by the RJF and began operating as the HJ Reichsjugendführerschule from the 12th of July 1933.

The girls in your photo were sitting approximately where I have placed the red circle.
