Architecture and history

The main building of the school, located at 32 Breite Straße, was built in 1851 as a farm building on the Anger southwest of the parish church.

In 1923 the community commissioned the Berlin architect that as Aeppli and Scherer barn used farm buildings convert into a school building. The reason for this was the constantly increasing number of students who could no longer be accommodated in the school on Viktoriastraße . A tower was placed in front of the massive and plastered single-storey building with a gable roof , to which two extensions were attached to the left and right. The tower was plastered, while the two extensions were decorated with colored ceramic plates . Two ceramic plates with relief depictions of two people are attached to the tower. These come from the sculptor Hans Latt from Berlin .

In the GDR, the school was called POS Gustav Gersinski . It was then called Realschule Velten and 1st Oberschule Velten until it was named environmental activist Barbara Zürner (1929–2002) on December 8, 2017 .
