The Federal College for the Confectionery Trade was a technical school for the training of masters of the confectionery trade . The master school was based in the city of Wolfenbüttel in Lower Saxony.
history
In 1927, the master confectioner Bernhard Lambrecht (1897–1971) founded the initially private "Technical School for New Confectionery Art" in Wolfenbüttel. Teaching began on January 3, 1928.
Lambrecht saw his craft still connected with the traditions of the 19th century and determined by the ornate decor of the Wilhelmine style . He therefore considered it to be in urgent need of reform and was guided by the basic ideas of the Bauhaus in Dessau, where he had also attended lectures. In his work "On the New Style in the pastry art" (Wolfenbüttel 1929) Lambrecht broke radically with the old " gingerbread style ". The school taught according to the new principles of the confectionery trade formulated by Lambrecht, such as the beauty of the material, the authenticity of the material and designing for a specific purpose.
In 1938 the technical school was renamed the “Master School of Confectionery Crafts ” and put on an equal footing with the arts and crafts schools before it was closed in 1939 with the start of the Second World War . The re-establishment took place on September 1, 1948 under the sponsorship of the German Confectioners' Association (DKB) and again under the leadership of the founding director Bernhard Lambrecht, who continued to run the school until 1969.
From 1974 the Braunschweig Chamber of Crafts participated in the sponsorship of the school in order to prevent the pastry school from being relocated from the then structurally weak border area to another federal state. The building was expanded into a modern education center. A last renaming took place in May 1978, when it was given the name of the Federal College for the Confectionery Trade, with the subtitle "Bernhard Lambrecht School". The neighboring Samson School was acquired in 1984 to accommodate the course participants and converted into a guest house.
Until the 1990s, the federal technical college remained the only training location for inter-company confectioner training in Germany. On December 31, 2004, the school closed its teaching due to insufficient student numbers. While in the 1990s around a hundred participants, including from Japan, the USA and Canada, attended the master classes, in the 2000s there were only ten per year. The school was finally closed on March 31, 2005, which at that time still employed 17 people. Her teaching influences modern confectionery to this day.
