architecture
It is an elongated two-story school building in Pesch made of brick with a symmetrical structure. It was built before 1891.
Above the windowed basement plinth, in the lower third made of natural stone , the facade shows ten uniform window axes with a strongly protruding central projection , which was formerly gabled and contains the main entrance and stairwell . The façade structure is determined by the series of large-format, upright rectangular segmented arched windows, which on the ground floor show bricked-up rectangles in the recessed parapet fields, otherwise are set off by uniformly offset walls and sills made of chiselled stone plaster.
The horizontal structure is achieved by means of dividing cornices and decorative friezes, some of which are composed of shaped stones in the vertical sequence of the floors . The upper end is very differentiated with a frieze zone consisting of embedded diamond fields and a wide console frieze. This intrinsically simple structure system is enriched on the upper floor by the introduction of pilaster strips that surround the window axes . The entrance yoke, the two windows of which are combined in pairs by an overlapping segment arch, has its own pilaster frame.
The gable ends of the two identically designed side fronts, extending beyond the tile-covered gable roof , close off the facade in the form of a simplified pinnacle tower. On the side fronts, which are not windowed on both floors, the same horizontal structure is provided by dividing cornices and vertically by pilaster strips that span over several floors. The triangular gable, which is divided into three bays , is opened by four windows - those of the central bay are coupled in pairs analogous to those of the front risalit ; console-supported gable cornice.
The rear is basically structured in a similar way to the front; The only difference is the central projection, designed as a cubic building block (three-axis), which extends into the middle of the upper floor. A final console frieze on the upper floor leads over to the curtained eaves of the flat roof . The wall above shows six small arched windows coupled in pairs. The single-storey extension (break hall) in the center on the angular floor plan was very annoying. The double-wing casement windows from the time of construction with the original muntin division are very well preserved.
The facade effect, on the other hand, is greatly impaired by the modern concrete roofing of the stairs that cuts into the arch area of the entrance niche . Inside, the original room arrangement and the single-flight staircase, which is divided into two arms after an intermediate landing, have been preserved.
