Fourth Kötzschenbroda primary school, today Kötzschenbroda primary school

The name clock school is said to have become naturalized after the sundial on the east gable, while the numerous sandstone ball ornaments on the ornamental gables led to the mocking nickname Keglerheim .

The school building, which is now a listed building, is a large, three-storey building on a basement level with a boseneck stone base and a tiled hipped roof with two ridge turrets , the larger of which has a clock that can be seen from afar. The “picturesque structure” is created from differently designed views which, together with the multilevel curved gables, are each constructed asymmetrically.

In the right side view there is a flat side risalit on the right side , in which there is a "round arched seat niche portal with figurative and ornamental decoration (heads, fruit and ear motifs)" as the main entrance from the schoolyard. The entrance is accentuated in the roof by a squat octagonal tower with a curved, slanted hood . On the left side of this view there is the sundial in a curved facade field.

In the left side view there is an approximately 8 m² plaster relief with a group of dancing children, with the motto:

"YOUTH,
OUR WISDOM,
OUR POWER"

On the north side, the back of the building facing the embankment of the Leipzig – Dresden railway line , there was also a building inscription, which has been removed.

The plastered building, stylized as a German Renaissance , has numerous arched curtains and arched windows , framed by sandstone walls. In particular the renaissance gable, the squat tower and the roof turrets "give the building a defiant character."

The ornamentation of the vestibule, however, as well as the banisters, the grilles on the entrance door and the fencing can be assigned to Art Nouveau .

history

Kötzschenbroda School, 1912

School lessons were already available in Kötzschenbroda at the beginning of the 15th century. After the Reformation , the local church school was set up in the Küsterei (today's address Altkötzschenbroda 38) in 1572, initially with only one classroom with space for two classes with a total of around 80 children. The building was rebuilt in its old state after a fire. It wasn't until 1850 that a second classroom was set up for another 50 children. The main building of the elementary school Kötzschenbroda was used as the main school building until 1874. In 1854, in the two schoolrooms, which were sufficient for 130 children, 223 children were taught in four classes by two teachers, 46 of them from Fürstenhain .

At the beginning of the 1860s, the space situation was no longer acceptable, the school board decided to procure more classrooms. In 1863 the local builder Moritz Große built an outbuilding of the school on the back of the church school property at Vorwerkstraße 14 . The second school house, handed over by Große on November 1st, contained a classroom for 80 children and an apartment for a second permanent teacher. In 1870 three teachers taught in six classes.

In 1874, not far away, the third Kötzschenbroda school building was built at today's Hermann-Ilgen-Straße 35 (today's Kötzschenbroda secondary school ), a large new building. The old church school, the previous main building on the church square, was sold by auction in 1874. While four teachers taught in eight classes in 1874, there were seven teachers in 1884 who teach 13 classes in seven rooms. In 1885 the school building, built in 1874, was given a large wing extension on the east side of Gradsteg .

In August 1885 the school board received permission to convert the former secondary school building. In June 1886 the permit for use as a residential building was issued. In 1890 ten teachers taught 16 classes in ten classrooms.

In 1902 an elementary school building was built in Oberkötzschenbroda to save the local Kötzschenbroda children the long way to school down the mountain to the town center. Around this time, due to a lack of space, the not far away inn “Zum golden Anker” had to serve as a place of instruction. In 1904 another, fourth, new school was built in the center at Harmoniestraße 7, today's Kötzschenbroda elementary school . In addition to twelve classrooms, this building also had a few teaching material rooms and a dining room in the basement.

Due to the lack of coal and the restrictions on gas supplies during the First World War, a public warming room was set up in "the school in the main town [...] ", either in the building on Harmoniestraße or on Gartenstraße (today Hermann-Ilgen- Street). "The already existing war kitchen for school children was expanded to a general war kitchen."

In 1929 the third elementary school was enlarged and stylistically changed to form the Kötzschenbroda vocational school , which left the main primary school in the large building on Harmoniestraße.

At the time of National Socialism, the school was called Dietrich-Eckart-Schule , after the journalist, publisher and early supporter of National Socialism Dietrich Eckart (1868-1923).

During the Second World War the building served as a military hospital , but was used again as a primary school building from October 1945. In 1958 the school was converted into a ten-class polytechnic high school, when it was given the name of the KPD functionary Ernst Thälmann (1886-1944) in 1964, in the twentieth year of death . Under this name, the school was merged with the neighboring buildings on Hermann-Ilgen-Straße.

After the reunification, in 1992, the two locations were separated again; the school on Harmoniestraße has served as a primary school for the Radebeul district of Kötzschenbroda, and the secondary school Kötzschenbroda is located on Hermann-Ilgen-Straße .
