The Bach School is a municipal primary school in Neunkirchen (Saar) . The building was built in 1905 in the neo-renaissance style and is now a listed building .
history
The building was intended as a school for the Lower Town of Neunkirchen and was erected next to the Blies, which had just been straightened out. It was built in 1905 according to plans by the architect Köhler. The model was the Renaissance style, in which the hut officials' houses in the nearby Goethestrasse are also kept. The elongated plastered building has three floors. The entrance to the school is in a risalit with a tent roof. The structure begins with a basement and a protruding cornice. The windows on the ground floor are made with round arches . On the first floor, a sill cornice connects the windows with straight roofs and beams. The windows on the top floor are designed with a straight roofing and end section and connected by a slightly profiled cornice. The school was named after the composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750).
A rededication as barracks was already taken into account at the planning stage . The building was used that way for the first time in the First World War . After the end of the World War, the Bach School was confiscated by the French occupation forces and only used again for school purposes in 1923.
After the Saar area was annexed to the German Reich , the school was named after Hans Schemm , one of the so-called martyrs of the Nazi regime. During the Second World War , the basement served as an air raid shelter , while the ground floor was used as a hospital . After the Second World War, the school was renamed again and served as a primary school again. For a while, two halls were used as a telegraph office.
Situation today
The school is sponsored by the district town of Neunkirchen and today houses around 300 pupils from grades 1 to 4. The pupils are taught three to four times by 27 pedagogically active persons (teachers and pedagogical specialists). The Bach School has a high proportion of foreigners and is home to students from 40 nations. In addition to the “socially complex, multinational and multicultural realities” that already existed in Neunkirchen's lower town, 30 refugee children were also enrolled in school in the 2015/2016 school year. In order to cope with this special situation, German courses are offered in so-called "conveyor belts" (double lessons in the morning with few children). There is also a preliminary course for kindergarten children called “Early German Learning” and the “Springboard” project in cooperation with the Caritas Association , which supports children and parents in starting school .
