location

The school is located at Helmstedter Straße 42 in the Sudenburg district in a corner at the intersection with Amsdorfstraße on the west side of Helmstedter Straße.

Architecture and history

The school was built in the years 1900 to 1902 and 1908 according to plans by the city building inspector Wilhelm Berner . The construction was necessary due to the then rapidly increasing population of Sudenburg, although new school buildings had already been built in Braunschweiger Strasse and Salzmannstrasse . The school, which was built as a boys 'and girls' bourgeois school, was a school of secondary education and was designed as a three-storey, representative building in the style of Baroque Art Nouveau . It also stands out architecturally from the elementary schools in the district, which were previously built in the neo-Gothic style.

In a first, larger construction phase, the boys 'school and gymnasium were built, and in the second, smaller construction phase, the girls' school was built. The building, built in the form of an L over 60 meters along Helmstedter Strasse and with a shorter section along Amsdorfstrasse, has a castle-like design on its east side facing Helmstedter Strasse. There is a middle and side risalite that only protrude flat. The five-axis entrance area in the middle of the facade is emphasized by two curved gables and portals, with separate entrances for the girls 'and boys' schools. On the north side there is another, architecturally designed entrance. The building is covered by a hipped roof . The schoolyard is on the courtyard side and thus away from the street. In contrast to earlier school buildings, no latrines were built in the schoolyard , but the toilets were integrated into the short side wings of the actual school building.

The 42 classrooms are accessed through centrally arranged, four meter wide corridors. The building is characterized by generously dimensioned windows, which represent a conscious departure from the barrack-like design of the older Prussian school architecture. Despite this modern conception, the interior layout was traditionally designed with two hips. The wide corridors are very dark due to their length. In addition to the classrooms, the rector's and teachers' rooms as well as rooms for teaching materials were also built. A gym is integrated in the north wing along Amsdorfstrasse. To the west of this is the former home of the school attendant. The two-storey school servant's house and the property fence were created with the first construction phase of the school.

The school building survived the Second World War unscathed.

At times, the Amsdorfstraße primary school was also housed in the building, which then moved to Braunschweiger Straße as the Sudenburg primary school in 2015 .

The school is listed in the local monument register under registration number 094 82052 as a monument .

The building complex is a typical new school building from the time it was built and one of the most impressive in the city of Magdeburg.
