Breitenberg School
The Breitenbergschule is a listed school building ensemble in the mountain town of Ruhla in the Wartburg district in Thuringia . Today's primary school consists of the two connected individual monuments, Köhlergasse 4 and Köhlergasse 6, also known colloquially as the red school and the yellow school .
history
In 1868 the yellow school was opened in the Gothic part of Ruhla (cf. Ruhla division ) in order to meet the need for school places resulting from the increasing population in both parts of Ruhla. The construction costs amounted to 7,650 Reichstaler. Boys and girls were initially taught together, later, until 1928, teaching was carried out in separate girls and boys classes. The school quickly became too small; In 1889 the red school , a brick building, was built in the immediate vicinity . The yellow school was used as a primary school, the red one for the older students.
At the time of the GDR dictatorship, the school was called Polytechnische Oberschule (POS) " Karl Marx ". In the 1990s, the location of the regular school that had emerged from the POS was relocated to Seebach and the Ruhla primary schools were merged at the location of the Breitenbergschule. For this purpose, both parts of the school, the red and the yellow school, were structurally connected.
Monument protection
