The house Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße 24-26 is a listed former school building in Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt . Today it is used as an administration building for the school and sport department , the building construction department and the municipal building management of the Magdeburg city administration.
location
The building is located on the west side of Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse in the Stadtfeld Ost district between the junctions of Alexander-Puschkin-Strasse in the north and Maxim-Gorki-Strasse in the south.
history
The school was built between 1914 and 1918 according to plans by the architect Paul Thürmer and was planned as the Wilhelmstadt school for people's girls . Due to the First World War , there were considerable construction delays. However, the building was never given its actual purpose as a school for the people's girls. In 1918 there was a partial acceptance and the temporary placement of eight classes of the commercial advanced training school. A final inspection was not carried out, and in 1920/1921 it was converted into a post office check office . After 1945 the building served as the Soviet district command and as the seat of the SED district leadership .
architecture
The elongated school building formed a joint square with the school opposite on the west side of the courtyard on Schillerstrasse . There was also an older gym on Schillerstrasse, which was accessible from the new building, but has not been preserved. In addition, another gymnasium was built on Alexander-Puschkin-Straße to the north , from which there was also a connection to the west to the school on Schillerstraße. In the attic there was a drawing room with studio windows.
For the large three-storey school building itself, the original plans included 13 classrooms as well as rooms for the principal, teachers, teaching aids and collections. A large teaching kitchen was also planned on the ground floor. All rooms faced west and were accessed through a long, continuous but bright hallway. The room layout was completely changed by the later renovations.
The exterior appearance of the smoothly plastered house is in the style of neoclassicism . The symmetrically constructed facade is provided with a flat vertical arrangement of the plaster. The broad middle section of the facade is divided into five sections, each formed by three axes of closely spaced windows and separated from each other by flat pilaster strips . Above the axes there is a three-axis roof house with a triangular gable on the roof. On the hipped roof is a roof turret crowned by a dome . There was an owl on the dome in the past. The base of the building and the framing of the portals are clinkered.
The entrances to the building are located in the large entrance cores to the left and right of the middle section. On the sides of the entrances there are four female busts that represent four ages and, as a decorative element, were linked to the original purpose as a girls' school
To the north and south of the central part, two-axis building wings step back behind the front of the central building. The design of the wall delimiting the front garden was coordinated with the facing of the base.
In the local register of monuments , the school is listed as a monument under registration number 094 82185 .
