The Fritz Ulrich Community School is to move to the location of the Gerhart Hauptmann School. The Gerhart-Hauptmann-Grundschule will remain independent and will receive a new building for 16 all-day classes, which will cost 12 million euros.

School history

The Gerhart Hauptmann School was built on the site of the former Moltke barracks in 1966, making the Heilbronn School the 18th or 19th Gerhart Hauptmann School in Germany. The school newcomers, i.e. the 5th and 6th grades, visited the pavilion. After the school had been opened to school on April 19, 1966, it was inaugurated in the gym on October 18, 1966. The school was still only an elementary school upper level, but when this became a secondary school, the school received a ninth grade. In 1996/97 the tenth grade was added, the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Schule became a Werkrealschule.

Numbers and orders of magnitude

In the year of inauguration in 1966, around 660 students attended the school. Today 39 teachers teach about 630 students in 25 classes.

architecture

The building is a secular building named after Gerhart Hauptmann and built according to designs by Otmar Schär and Franz-Josef Mattes (gym with precious metal plates with glass ribbon). The secular building represents the local building tradition of the pavilion construction of the sixties and at the same time the modernity of the turn of the millennium. The art and architecture historian and head of the Lower Monument Preservation Authority of the City of Heilbronn Joachim J. Hennze remarks:

“ Ottmar Schär succeeded in creating a brilliant design with the new Gerhart Hauptmann School in the east of Heilbronn: a multi-level, elongated main building with a separate gym and an annex for school newcomers matches the pavilion construction that was popular in the 1960s. "

The Chamber of Architects awarded a prize for exemplary building in Heilbronn 1995-2004 for the extension of the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Schule and justified it with the type of space-saving solution to create a new sports hall by adding a newer gym to the old gym and thereby the still existing sports field did not have to be built over. The jury noticed that the uniform cladding made of stainless steel plates connects both gyms, the old and the new, to one building. The stainless steel plates reflect the sunlight and continuously change the face of the structure and thus also the building mass. In terms of urban development, the two-story building of the gymnasium will be aligned with the school building.

The expansion of the all-day area was recognized in 2008 at the European Architecture Prize for Metal Roofs and Metal Facades.

description

Main building (Otmar Schär)

The first part of the school, the main building, consists of a multi-level and elongated school building, which was the first school building in Heilbronn to be built according to the shoemaker's type . What is remarkable about this type of school, which bears the name of its inventor Schuster , are the stairwells that lead to two classrooms on each floor. Corridors can be dispensed with and the classrooms can take up the entire width of the building and can thus be illuminated and ventilated from both the north and the south. The second part was built for special classes and as an administration building. The third separate part of the school consists of a gym.

Gym of the Gerhart Hauptmann School

Gym (Franz-Josef Mattes)

In 2003 a gymnasium and an extension for the Gerhart Hauptmann School followed. The local council decided on July 5, 2001 to add another floor to the previously single-storey gymnasium. The Heilbronn architect Franz-Josef Mattes created a uniform cube, with the lower part of the cube being the old and the upper part being the new gym. Both parts are combined and harmonized by a uniform cladding made of stainless steel plates.

The lower part of the stainless steel panel cladding is divided horizontally by a rectangular entrance area with floor-to-ceiling French doors, which allow maximum exposure of the gym and use with the outside area. The upper part of the gym is a steel construction designed as a cube and has a ribbon of glass at the top. A gallery level on the first floor allows a view of the hall on the ground floor.

Steel drawing (Peter Riek)

The gym on the ground floor and the gym on the upper floor are connected by a staircase, for which the Heilbronn artist Peter Riek designed a steel drawing that is 9 meters high.

A 40 m² solar system was installed on the roof of the gym, which guarantees warm shower water. The back of the gym is plastered and has got an orange-red color with three loggias. The new gym and other renovations cost EUR 3.68 million. The gym is described as an artificial structure.

Pavilion School (Fritz Stucky and Rudolf Meuli)

One of the pavilion schools in Heilbronn is the branch of the Gerhart Hauptmann School. It is a pavilion on Siebennussbaumstrasse or Karlstrasse. 145–147 in Heilbronn , which was inaugurated on May 30, 1961. The prefabricated building was constructed by a company in Göppingen based on the Stucky & Neuli patent, transported to Heilbronn by low loader and placed on the foundation with a crane. The prefabricated components each had a steel frame, which allowed the components to be screwed together and anchored to the foundation. The building was designed for five classes on Siebennussbaumstrasse / Karlstrasse on a 42-acre site.

    “[...] They owe this great feeling to the Heilbronn architect Franz-Josef Mattes and the building department of the city of Heilbronn. They had the idea not to place the urgently needed second school sports hall next to the existing hall and to close the outdoor sports area […] The ribbon of glass above the baffle wall made of light maple panels ensures the best daylight and allows a view of the surrounding treetops on Karlstrasse. The warm shower water is generated by a 40 square meter solar system installed on the roof. Depending on the weather, the exterior façade, which consists of easy-care stainless steel panels and divides the two-story hall horizontally, offers an impressive play of colors. The back facing the police headquarters is almost reminiscent of an artificial structure with its orange-red plaster and the three loggias of different sizes that give light to the gallery level.

    “[...] The prefabricated parts are manufactured by a specialist company in Göppingen based on the patent of the Swiss architects Stucky and Neuli. The basic framework consists of steel frames at a distance of 2.80 m, between which the floor, the ceiling and the window elements are clamped in a wooden construction, with a clear room width of 8.30 m and a clear room height of 2.75 m. These elements are completely manufactured in the factory and brought to the construction site with low loaders, where they are placed on the foundation by a crane. The steel frames are butted together and screwed together and anchored to the foundation [...] The building will contain 4 classrooms with 69 m² each and 1 classroom with 92 m², as well as a staff room with 18 m² floor space.
