The vocational school center or BBS campus in Hanover is the largest location for vocational schools (BBS) in Lower Saxony . The listed building complex from the 1950s on Waterlooplatz is used to train around 10,000 students in the four training centers BBS 2, 3 and ME and Hannah-Ahrendt-Schule (for administrative professions ).

history

2013: Teachers and students of the BBS campus during the laying of the seven stumbling blocks for the von Israel Alter family in front of the memorial commemorating Jewish life on Ohestrasse

The building complex was from 1952 to 1953 in the style of post-war modernism of the fifties built "with the typical effects of that Scandinavian architecture" initially only for the BBS BBS 2 and 3. The school building founded first on Frankiphälen .

The location was the site of a former commercial, barracks and residential area. Before that, a Jewish community center had been established here , which was used as a so-called “ Jewish house ” during the Nazi era in 1941 and 1942 for the violent penning of around 350 people. The so disenfranchised were from here in the extermination camp KZ Riga and in the Theresienstadt concentration camp deported .

In the 1970s, the former Jewish community center on Ohestrasse was demolished. and with the completion of BBS 3 in 1976 by the architects Sigrid and Walter Kleine (today: Kleine + Associated Architects and City Planners ) the vocational school center was completed at that time.

In front of BBS 3, however, the then reconstructed front door arch at the original location of the former community center serves as a memorial to the memory of Jewish life in Ohestrasse .

After wear and tear and structural changes, the listed buildings were completely refurbished in the years from 2009 to 2011 by the KSW Architects + Urban Planners in the sense of monument preservation , but also supplemented with new technical elements. For example, new acoustic ceilings have been installed, the lighting system has been renewed to encourage learning, heat recovery has been integrated and the toilet facilities have been converted to make it accessible for the disabled.
