history

Girls school

Free schools for boys were established in the Bremen school system after the introduction of compulsory schooling in Bremen in 1844 as schools free of charge. State elementary schools have been established in Bremen since 1862 and 25 new schools between 1892 and 1914, some of which - strictly separated - also admit girls.

This three-storey free school or elementary school from 1896 with a hipped roof was planned in the style of historicism by the building construction department (later building inspection or building authority Bremen ) with wings and realized by the inspection. The building has a red brick facade with ornaments in the window parapets. Two staircase risalits and a central roof gable with a clock structure the building. In the left part of the building was the boys 'school in the right the girls' school. The schools became elementary schools after 1945. Coeducation, the joint teaching of girls and boys also only took place after 1945.

After the school was given up in the 1980s, state institutions such as the Bremen West local authority responsible for the Gröpelingen, Walle and Findorff districts and the West Social Services after a renovation initially used the building. These services were restructured and relocated and the building sold.

By 2008, the building was converted to 3400 m² for residential purposes according to plans by Diedrich Gerlach for a housing association.
