history
As early as 1617 a school building was documented as a church school in the village of Kaditz. For centuries, this rural school, run by the Parish Kaditz, was responsible for the religious and moral instruction of the students from the area. Children from Pieschen , Trachau , Mickten and Übigau as well as from Radebeul , Serkowitz and Niederlößnitz had to walk up to two hours to go to school and to receive lessons in reading, writing and arithmetic in addition to church instruction.
As a rule, the schoolmaster was the church's cantor and organist , who received support from a school substitute who was learning his teaching profession as an assistant teacher. In the 18th century, the Magister Johannes Theodorus Thomae (1685–1753), brother of the Dresden court sculptor Johann Benjamin Thomae, worked in Kaditz . The sculptor's son-in-law was Johann Gottfried Knöffler , who created the pulpit altar in the Emmaus Church in 1756 as a result of his father-in-law's connections to Kaditz, as did the figures of Peter and Paul.
Successor to the Kaditz teacher, cantor and organist Thomae was his former school substitute Martin Bruchhold (1722–1792), who married his middle daughter Johanna Margaretha in 1747. Godfried August Homilius , a composer and cantor at the Dresden Frauenkirche, and Johann Milchmeyer, royal Polish and electoral Saxon art gardener in Castle Übigau were sponsored by Bruchhold's family ties to Dresden .
Bruchhold's family originally came from the Ebersbach area and was related by marriage to the Ziller family on several occasions . As the eldest son, Johann Gottfried Ziller (1762–1831) from Oberebersbach was unable to take over his father's farm, which was bequeathed to the youngest brother as a minority property . So in 1785 he moved to Martin Bruchhold in Kaditz to learn the teaching trade with him. In 1786 he married his youngest daughter Rahel Gottliebe and later succeeded his father-in-law in all his offices, thus becoming cantor and organist of the church and schoolmaster for the school district. During Ziller's time in the first half of the 19th century, around 300 children went to school in Kaditz. The Kantorshaus was nowhere near enough to accommodate all the students who had to be taught in numerous rooms across Kaditz. In 1835, general compulsory schooling was introduced in Saxony, which allowed municipalities to set up their own schools and to train their students from the previous school association in order to shorten the sometimes long journeys to school and reduce overcrowding in schools.
In 1854 the village school in Kaditz, opposite the Emmaus Church, was renewed. In addition to master bricklayer Götze, the master builder was Christian Gottlieb Ziller , a nephew of the long-time Kaditz schoolmaster, whose younger brother and old father had come to Kaditz. Johann Christian Ziller (1773–1838), younger brother and master carpenter, went from Kaditz to Alt-Radebeul , where he bought a farm and worked as a master carpenter. Among other things, he repaired the church in Kaditz, the parish and diaconate building and the existing school. His son Christian Gottlieb (1807–1873) built up a construction business as a builder in neighboring Serkowitz and was given the task of completely renovating the school building from scratch in 1853/1854.
In 1894, the old village school became too small due to the population growth, although numerous surrounding communities had in the meantime built their own schools and trained their children from Kaditz, and the community built a new school on today's Riegelplatz, today's elementary school. The previous school, now the old school , was still used as a choir and parish hall.
In 1969 the building was supposed to be demolished, but the municipality was able to prevent this. The completely renovated building has been a residential building since 1999.
