Competition "Our village should be more beautiful"

Even with the first participation (1974) in the competition " Our village should be more beautiful " a good result was achieved. (3rd district winner) In 1975, 1st place was taken in the district decision. In the following regional decision on July 7, 1975, a 1st place was achieved. At the state decision on August 9, 1975, you had to be satisfied with a 4th place, although Bissenberg was tied with the municipalities that had been placed in 2nd and 3rd place. This was disappointing for the Bissenbergers and the interest in the population decreased. In the 18th competition on June 15, 1976, Bissenberg took part for the last time and reached 10th place out of 25 communities.

Buildings

church

Bissenberg Church

The Bissenberg Church is a small Romanesque rectangular building with plastered herringbone masonry, which was raised from 1723 to 1726, extended to the west and provided with a slate tower structure. The small Romanesque gate on the south side and the large arch in the east are remarkable. In the flat-roofed interior is a three-sided gallery and pulpit from the 18th century. A pilaster decoration in the wooden tower floor is worth mentioning, for which the beams of the broken iron hammer (Bissenberger Hütte) were used. The church was rededicated on October 18, 1726.

Old school

Bissenberg: Old school

The "old school" in the town center was built in 1862/63 as a typically simple, two-storey school building with a teacher's apartment by municipal master builder Mayer in a prominent location on the southern outskirts of quarry stone. It is structured in a simple way by a sill cornice , the window grouping and the central entrance project , whose neo-Gothic stepped gable has not been preserved (demolished after the Second World War). It is in the corner of Fuhrweg / Stockhäuser Straße. The school included a small stable, a toilet , woodshed and a large school garden along Stockhäuser Strasse. Today the fire station is there .

education

The first Bissenberg school was established in 1725/26. The building in the corner of Brunnenstrasse and Stockhäuser Strasse that is still preserved today was used until 1863.

On January 14, 1863, the second school was inaugurated after two years of construction. A second teacher was hired between 1931 and 1939. Since the number of pupils increased after the Second World War , a second teacher was employed again in 1947. On July 12, 1952, the local council decided to build a new school. The building on the corner of Fuhrweg and Stockhäuserstraße is now known as the old school .

The third school was inaugurated on November 28, 1953 and was used until 1966. In the course of the school reform, the students had to attend the central school in Biskirchen, which opened in 1962. The school has been used as a village community center since the renovation work in the 1970s.
