Edenschule with school yard

The Edenschule in Hanover is a listed school building and the name of the first school to open in the 19th century, the List district . The former boys' school is located at Edenstrasse 23 on the edge of the Bonifatiusplatz school center, which was created as a decorative square in the surrounding Lister Stadtfeld residential area .

History and description

The Edenschule was built between 1891 and 1893 according to plans by the architect and city building officer of the Hanoverian magistrate Paul Rowald . Its architecture is an example of the change in architectural styles in Hanover at the turn of the century: While this school was built as a brick building in the neo-Gothic style, the later schools on Bonifatiusplatz received plastered facades with sandstone structures .

The Edenschule, on the other hand, still received the red facing that was prevalent on the public buildings of its time - bricks with green glazed stones with the "structural elements of the Hanover building school ."

In the schoolyard , the toilets were initially housed in a separate toilet facility.

Six years after its establishment, the Edenschule received its counterpart in the form of a girls' school on the property at the rear ; the Comenius School .
