The Grünewaldschule Böckingen (formerly Alleenschule ) at Grünewaldstraße 16 (formerly Alleenstraße) in the Heilbronn district of Böckingen is a primary school in a historic school building that was built in 1912/1913. After a checkered history and several renaming, the school has been a pure elementary school since 1975 .
history
The once rural village of Böckingen became a workers' community after the onset of industrialization in nearby Heilbronn in the course of the 19th century. Between 1870 and 1919 the population quintupled. In addition to creating living space, building a school was therefore one of the municipality's most important tasks. The school in the old town hall was sufficient until 1878 , after which the Friedenstrasse school was built, followed by the Weststrasse school in 1899/1900 , which was expanded by six classes in 1906. Due to the strong population growth, a new elementary school had to be built just a few years later . From 1912 to 1913, the Böckinger Alleenschule was therefore built in Art Nouveau style according to plans by the architects Beutinger and Steiner and the local architect Lutz from Böckingen. The purchase of the building site was financially supported by the Heilbronn municipal administration under the then Mayor Paul Göbel . The foundation stone was laid by the Böckinger mayor Adolf Alter . The school was large for the time and had 20 classrooms. The construction costs amounted to 290,000 marks (about 1,540,000 euros). The building that stands in the middle of Böckingen today was at the very northern end of the settlement when it was built in 1912 and marks the beginning of the strong expansion of the place to the north.
During the Nazi era , the school was called the Adolf Hitler School . Like the Weststrasse School, now known as the Hindenburg School, the school remained an elementary school. Since Böckingen, which was now incorporated into Heilbronn, was a workers' residential community, from which only 250 students attended Heilbronn secondary schools and grammar schools before 1933, there was initially no need for secondary schools in Böckingen, where almost all students attended one of the two elementary schools.
After the Second World War, the school, then again called Alleenschule , was one of the few surviving school buildings in the city, which was badly damaged by numerous air raids on Heilbronn , so that school operations were resumed on November 5, 1945. From 1945 to 1949, bombed-out Heilbronn students also attended the school. Until 1949, the building housed primary and secondary school students as well as primary school classes. During this time there were three school classes for each teacher who had to be taught in shifts. From 1951 the school was divided into a boys 'and girls' school, and in 1952 the school was renamed the Grünewald School. The school was repaired from 1961 to 1963, the estimated cost was around 900,000 DM (about 1,930,000 euros). The rapid population growth in Böckingen in the 1960s, also due to the new development areas, led to an increase in the number of students. In the 1960s over 1,000 students were taught at the Grünewald School and the class size was up to 65 children. Due to these intolerable conditions, two further elementary schools were built in Böckingen with the Fritz Ulrich elementary school and later the elementary school "Auf der Schanz", most of which were used by former teachers and students of the Grünewald school. In the Grünewaldschule, only grades 1-6 remained, while grades 7-9 moved to the new secondary school on the Schanz . In 1970 the 5th and 6th grades left the school (first towards the Fritz-Ulrich-Schule, Böckingen and secondary school Frankenbach, and after completion of the Elly-Heuss-Knapp secondary school towards Schanz), the Grünewaldschule became a pure elementary school. She now shared the building with the Wilhelm Hofmann School, which moved into three rooms in the building. In the 1980s there was a Greek class at the Grünewald School, which was available for children from all over the city.
The emergence of the large new building area on the nearby Schanz at the beginning of the 1970s not only led to the completion of further schools ( Fritz-Ulrich-Grund- und Hauptschule 1969 and Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Grund- und Hauptschule 1975), but also through the Large parts of the original population moved to the new residential areas to a structural change in the Böckinger Altort, where in the catchment area of the Grünewald School, which was reduced to a primary school since 1975, a proportion of foreigners living in 1982 of 30 to 50% (compared to 2% on the Schanz and 13.2% in the whole Population) existed. The proportion of foreigners attending the school reflected this development at 34.5% (compared to only 0.4% at the Elly-Heuss-Knapp primary school on the Schanz ).
School life
The offer at the Grünewald School is very diverse. A special focus today is on cooperation with various sports clubs. This cooperation made voluntary activities such as football, horse riding or golf possible. The school's numerous AGs include, for example, a theater and a circus AG, which set a high point in school life with an annual joint theater performance. The all-day care provided by the City of Heilbronn in the school enables parents and children to take advantage of childcare options at the school even after they are still in school. A special feature among the city's primary schools is the Grüni library. This library, which is supported by the school's sponsorship association and supervised on a voluntary basis, offers children access to almost 3,000 books. The inventory is tailored directly to the wishes and needs of elementary school students and thus encourages the children to enjoy reading.
