History and description
The school building was originally built between 1960 and 1962 as the “ Fridtjof Nansen ” elementary school according to plans by the architect Ernst Zinsser with the assistance of “G. Frantz ”. The high, widely spaced rows of the surrounding residential buildings were to be juxtaposed with a low and self-contained building complex as a school. For this purpose, Zinsser grouped the structures around a playground. Four two-storey buildings, staggered from west to east, with classrooms facing south, were planned for 16 “normal classes”. The break and entrance hall was built to the west of the building complex, on Leipziger Strasse. This hall creates the connection between the staggered school wings on one side and a single-storey structure in which all the other school rooms are located. In this building there is - as it were the focal point of the wing - the music hall, which relates to the entrance area as well as to another inner courtyard.
While the caretaker's apartment and the teachers' rooms were facing the street, the rooms for special classes were laid out in the north and facing the school yard. A covered corridor in the east delimits the playground, through which the school kindergarten and the gym are accessed.
