Middelhagen School Museum
The Middelhagen School Museum is a museum on the educational history of development on Mönchgut , a peninsula on the island of Rügen , in Middelhagen . It is located in the center of the village next to the St. Katharinen Church and opposite the old Krug . It was opened on August 1, 1986 in the former sexton's house.
In 1747 the previous building of today's sexton house was mentioned for the first time in a memo. It was a chimney-free smoke house , typical of the local farm and fisherman's houses at the time. The building that has been preserved to this day was erected around 1825. The pastor from Middelhagen also used this house to carry out his official duties until the parsonage was built in the village itself.
In the museum you can see a classroom of a one-class school in which up to 60 children (as recently as 1946) were taught from 1st to 8th grade. The children from 6 to 14 years of age were accommodated in a single room. At the end of the 19th century, the subject matter was primarily limited to writing, arithmetic and reading (mostly the catechism and hymn book) and religion.
Until 1962, the one-class feeder school was located in this sexton's house - at that time, however, it was limited to grades 1 to 4 - for the Mönchgut central school, which was built on the road to Gager.
In the classroom you can see wall scrolls, learning boards, the “ Abacus ” calculating machine and prepared animals as teaching aids of the time.
In addition to the classroom, it was also common for the sexton , cantor and village school teacher to also find the apartment with living room, bedroom, office, study and kitchen. So it can still be seen in the museum.
