Architecture and history

The listed building complex in Salzmannstraße was built in the years 1888/89 and 1891 to 1893 as the 2nd Sudenburg Volksmaiden- und Volksknabenschule . The planning was carried out by the town planning officer Otto Peters and the town planning inspector Emil Jaehn . The building had become necessary due to the strong increase in the number of students. The new school building on Braunschweiger Straße had already preceded this.

The elongated double school building is designed as a three-storey yellow brick building. The rectangular floor plan is standardized and can be found in the same form at other schools in Magdeburg. The building is symmetrical and oriented in north-south direction. The facade of the house is structured horizontally by red bricks. The base and the cornice are also made of red stones. Two narrow four-storey risalits protrude from the facade , in which the gates originally used as the main entrances are located on the street side. The entrances used in practice today are on the side facing away from the street. There the stairways were and are arranged in the risalits. The risalits are designed as half octagons. The risalites on the street side have crowns made of sandstone with shell ornaments in the style of the neo-renaissance . The dates of the start of construction in 1888 and 1891 can be seen here. As a crown, there are wrought-iron tips provided with ornaments.

The facade of the house consists of 26 axes, on the upper floors of 28 and 30 axes. The window openings are designed as narrow segment arches. The part of the building located between the risalits comprised eight axes and jumps back a little behind the building line of the other two wings.

Eighteen classrooms were housed in each half of the school building. In addition, there was a headmaster's room and a staff room. There was also a room for teaching materials. An apartment was set up for the school clerk in the gym to the northwest of the school building. In addition, a double toilet house was built.

A second gymnasium was built on the site in 1912/13 according to plans by the City Building Councilor Wilhelm Berner . It is built as a red brick building in the style of neoclassicism . The facade is simply designed and structured by tooth-cut friezes and stepped wall surfaces. The symmetrical structure consists of three building parts. The middle part includes the actual gym and has five window axes with large windows and one to each side with small windows. A grandstand was set up inside. The smaller parts of the building at the front include changing rooms and toilets as well as a two-story caretaker's apartment. The entrances are located at the transitions between the building sections. On the side facing away from the street, a small porch crowned by a triangular gable is added. There is another entrance as well as rooms for storing devices. The building is covered by a high hipped roof , which was created as a mansard in transitions. It was originally covered with slate.

The school complex is considered to be socially and culturally significant and shows the urban efforts at the end of the 19th century to improve the school, but also the hygienic and health care of children.

The building complex is listed as a school in the local monument register under registration number 094 76758.

The building complex in the reed width was built during the GDR era and is not a listed building.
