The Bertolt-Brecht-Gymnasium in Schwarzenberg is a secondary school in the Saxon Erzgebirgskreis .
history
The foundation stone for the historic core building of the school, now known as “House 1”, was laid in autumn 1914. After the inauguration on May 3, 1916, 167 students, including five girls, moved into the facility , which was initially intended as a secondary school with an attached Progymnasium . The striking building with a mighty hipped roof , ridge turrets and an entrance area influenced by Art Nouveau was based on a design by the Dresden architect Oswin Hempel and was largely financed by donations.
In December 1930 the school was converted into a Reform Realgymnasium , and in 1937/1938 into a German secondary school for boys.
At the end of January 1945, the school was closed and the building was set up as an emergency shelter for refugees from East Prussia and Silesia. It was not reopened as a school until 1952. It was named after Bertolt Brecht in 1957, and in 1959 the school was converted into an extended secondary school. After the end of the GDR , the school became a high school in 1992 and a second house in the Schwarzenberg district of Heide was expanded.
