The building trade school Idstein was founded in 1869 as a municipal building trade and mechanical engineering school for the qualification of building craftsmen and developed into a training center for building technicians and architects in the 20th century . The incorporation into the newly founded Wiesbaden University of Applied Sciences as the departments of architecture and civil engineering in 1971 meant the end of school. In 1993 the University of Applied Sciences finally gave up the Idstein location in favor of Wiesbaden . The building has been used by the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences since 1995 .

history

The initiative to set up a Baugewerkschule came from the Idsteiner population, after the disposal of the school , the Pedagogium and teacher seminar hoped for a Baugewerkschule a positive impact on the economic life of the city. The idea found a committed sponsor in the Idstein state archivist Karl Rossel . After clarifying the financing, the founding director and another teacher were able to start teaching on May 4, 1869 with four students in the town's former teachers' college. The training initially lasted three semesters and was extended to four semesters from 1881.

The Idstein building trade school, which was based on the Holzminden model for the further qualification of craftsmen, was one of the first of its kind in Prussia . Only the teaching institutes in Höxter (founded in 1864) and Eckernförde (founded in 1868) were older. Like this one, the building trade school in Idstein received a state grant.

In the second semester of the establishment of the school, the number of students rose to 25, so that the teaching staff had to be enlarged. In addition, a mechanical engineering class was set up, which was discontinued in 1879. The building trade school developed very well in the following years. In 1875 there were already 216 building students.

Since there were initially no fixed curricula , these were determined by the respective school principal . It was not until 1879 that curricula were prescribed by the Prussian state, and it was not until 1895 that there was a binding curriculum and uniform examination regulations for all Prussian building trade schools .

On April 1, 1895, the Prussian state took over the building trade school. The school building, which had now been occupied by 300 students two years earlier, remained the property of the city of Idstein. Since the tasks became more and more complex and the teaching of scientific fundamentals became more and more important, the study period was extended to five semesters in 1908. A civil engineering department was attached to the school. These measures made it necessary to expand the building trade school building. In the war and post-war period there was a dramatic decline in the number of students. It was not until 1925 that the demand for training in construction trades began to rise again.

In 1939, special classes were set up at the teaching institute for construction officers of the advanced technical service of the Deutsche Reichsbahn . In 1945, the decline during the war years the number of visitors increased school by returning soldiers to over 500, and thus reaches a peak. Since there were no lecturers , it took a few years for the engineering school to return to normal. The duration of the course was extended to six semesters in 1955 in accordance with the further increased requirements. Three years later, the city of Idstein transferred the school building to the state of Hesse and, in this context, had the teaching institute assure it that it would be used for at least another 20 years.

1971 brought the end of the independent engineering school. It was incorporated as a department into the newly founded Wiesbaden University of Applied Sciences (today RheinMain University ), but was initially still located in Idstein, although the school building no longer met the requirements and, in particular, laboratories were missing. It was not until 1993 that the department moved to Wiesbaden.

The old school building in Idstein has been used by the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences (formerly the European University of Applied Sciences Fresenius ) since 1995 .

building

In the years 1892/93, based on plans drawn up by Emil Hoffmann, the then director of the building trade school, the school building at Limburger Strasse 2 was built and expanded in 1910 according to plans by August Nabenhauer, a lecturer at the educational institution.

The four-story brick building is a typical work of historicism . Surrounded by smaller buildings on the edge of the old town , which is characterized by half - timbered houses , the neo-renaissance school building dominates the wider area to this day. Before the expansion, the building had a rectangular floor plan. The main facade was divided into two equal sections, each with four window axes . As a result of the renovation, a side wing was added to the north side at a right angle. Since then, the main facade has consisted of three identical sections. The structure is made by flat risalits . The walls are also structured using yellow and red bricks . The slated hipped roof carries at the south end of the building roof with a cross Blend gable and above the risalits hood lanterns . In between there are dormers with pointed helmets .

The building is under monument protection for historical, artistic and urban planning reasons .
