Architecture and history
The exact construction time is not known. In the building documents still available today, the school is first mentioned in 1878 as part of an expansion. At that time there was only the southern, two-story, seven-axis extension, the eaves side of which faces the main street. In 1888/89 the central building was erected, the neo-Gothic stepped gable facing the street and perpendicular to the original building. The planning was carried out by the district architect of the Wanzleben district , to which the then still independent Salbke belonged, Romeiß. The new building, built as a red brick building on a rubble base, offered space for six classes. There were three classrooms on both floors, which were accessed via corridors on the side. The gable ends are designed with four axes. The expansion had become necessary because of Salbke's population, which had grown significantly in the course of industrialization. The old south wing was converted into a residential building for the teachers and contained small apartments consisting of a room and a chamber for unmarried teachers. For married teachers, the apartments were slightly larger and also included a kitchen.
Around the 1880s, the pedagogue and writer Adolf Heitmann worked as a teacher at the school. At the turn of the century, Karl Artelt , who later belonged to the leaders of the Kiel sailors' uprising , attended the Salbke elementary school. The later Germanist Hermann Paul attended the Salbker village school as early as the 1850s .
In 1902, again according to Romeiß's plans, the north wing was also built from red bricks. Like the south wing, it has two floors, but due to the narrow building ground it is considerably smaller. The north wing contained two classrooms, with a class size of 70 students each. The buildings are each covered by a gable roof .
As the population continued to grow, new capacity expansions became necessary. Therefore, from 1904, today's Salbke elementary school was built as a boys' school further west . The old school then functioned as a girls' school.
In the time of the GDR , the old school and the new school formed the Ernst Brandt POS , with the lower school classes up to and including the 4th grade being taught in the old building complex. After the political change in 1989 , the Salbker elementary school was accordingly also housed in the old school. The after-school care center was also located here until around 2004 . Then the building was empty. In 2006 a support association was founded for the old school.
Community center
Since July 2009, the building of the state capital Magdeburg became a town house rebuilt. The opening took place in the presence of Mayor Lutz Trümper on October 29, 2010. It offers space for various clubs and institutions in the districts of Fermersleben , Salbke and Westerhüsen on 1,150 m² of usable space . It houses a citizens' office with services from the city administration, a youth facility, the office of the district manager for Magdeburg-Südost, a dance club, the Bürgerstube restaurant , the Leonardo library for professional literature and other facilities.
Cultural events take place in the house and on the farm. The courtyard is traditionally the venue for the Salbker Christmas market . On February 5, 2011 Anna-Carina Woitschack performed the puppet play Peterle and his latest adventures .
