history

In 1918, Fritz Schumacher was commissioned as senior construction director of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg to build 800 apartments for soldiers' families, families with many children and veterans ( Fritz-Schumacher-Siedlung ). Of the planned 800 apartments, 658 were realized in the end due to lack of funds. Fritz-Schumacher wanted to build the necessary infrastructure for the settlement in addition to the living space, including a school.

In 1921 Fritz Schumacher first built a barrack school on Heerskamp (today Timmerloh ), and around 1931 the building we know today was ready for occupancy. Initially the gym was located in the building, today the break hall is located there (in the picture the part of the building between the two large doors).

During the period of the Third Reich , the school was redesigned by the National Socialists for their purposes and converted into a barracks for SS soldiers. The building was not bombed, but was affected by the SS soldiers. After the surrender of Germany, the school was converted into a barracks by British units. While the British troops cleared 12 classrooms for school lessons at the beginning of 1945, the entire building was made available towards the end of 1945.

From 1950 to 1982 the school was run as a secondary and secondary school . The building also housed a kindergarten, which moved to Tangstedter Landstrasse 152 in the 1980s .

In the 1950s and 1960s, the schools in Heerskamp-Ost and Heerskamp-West were organizationally separated, and a vocational and household school (which was dissolved again around 1950), an auxiliary school and the Langenhorn grammar school were founded.

Up until 1979 there was also a primary school in the building and until 2002 the pencil art association Langenhorn, founded by the teacher Johannes Böse in 1925, had its seat there, which then moved to St. Pauli and renamed itself the pencil art association Hamburg .

From 1979 to 2010 the school was run as a comprehensive school . Since 2010 the school has been run as a district school .

In 2015, 9th grade students were involved in a project at Neuengamme concentration camp .

Architecture and building history

In 1986 the new gym across from the Fritz-Schumacher-Schule at Timmerloh 32 was completed.

The original sports hall is now used as a break hall . The old break hall was renovated in early 2014.

School profile

The upper school level is run in cooperation with the district school on Heidberg at an external location, at Foorthkamp 36. In addition, the former special needs school at Foorthkamp 42 is used for international preparatory classes at the Fritz Schumacher School.
