history

The first mention of a teacher for Fermersleben goes back to 1582. The tasks of this year for the parish salaried sexton Cubir which also Buckau was responsible, also included the teaching of children. The employment of a cantor Gebhardt Schünemann is noted for 1670, who held the school education until 1683. In 1683 Joachim Neubauer became a schoolmaster, who held the office until 1740. In a major fire in Fermersleben in 1719, the school building at that time was also destroyed. From 1740 to 1786 Diebner took over the function, according to another spelling Dibbern. He was succeeded by Georg Friedrich Odenwald († June 2, 1834), who served until 1830.

During the French occupation, the school was temporarily used as a barracks for French troops in 1806. The Berge monastery was responsible for the patronage of the church and school . After the monastery was destroyed, this patronage passed to the government in 1824. Nevertheless, the parish was responsible for school instruction. The school was located near the entrance to the church with the front facing east.

In 1827, according to other information in 1828, Fermersleben received a new school building, which was located next to the church. The community financed the construction with 900 Thalers. On October 29, 1827, the first school lessons were held in the new building. The cemetery behind the church was no longer used and was intended to serve as a garden for the cantor.

The successor to the Odenwald, who had been in office for around 44 years, was Christian Gottlieb Bonecke as a substitute. However, he died on September 27, 1833. He was succeeded by Carl Wilhelm Raßbach. Born in Cochstedt, he was previously an assistant teacher in Buckau. Until his death on July 23, 1868, he worked as a cantor and teacher in Fermersleben for 34 years. Carl August Scheifler was a schoolmaster from 1868 to April 6, 1872, followed by F. Fischer.

The current school building was built in several construction phases from 1889 onwards, as the development of Fermersleben from a rural community to an industrial location and the resulting rapidly growing population necessitated repeated expansion.

As the oldest part, the southern wing of the building was built in 1889 according to plans by the district architect of the Wanzleben Romeiß district . The construction was carried out by Christian Andreas Schmidt . The red brick school building was built on a T-shaped floor plan. It consists of a risalit with three floors, the gable side of which faces the school yard with its four window axes. Initially there were three teacher's apartments. In addition, to the west of the building there was a small courtyard with the toilets and storage space required for the teachers' apartments. This separate courtyard for the teaching staff is unusual and not found in other schools in Magdeburg. To the north of the risalit is a two-story extension, which with five window axes ends with the eaves facing the schoolyard. In this extension there were two classrooms on each floor.

The first expansion took place in 1891. Again carried out by Christian Andreas Schmidt, the extension was extended to the north by four more window axes. This resulted in four more classrooms. The next expansion followed in 1902. Schmidt, who also carried out this construction phase, added six or five axes per floor, creating two new classrooms per floor. In this phase there was also the situation of two entrances from the school yard, which separated the girls 'and boys' schools.

In 1903 the building was extended even further north by the royal building officer L. Pitsch , to today's Friedrich-List-Straße .

As was common in the education system at the time, corporal punishment was also used in Fermersleben. In January 1895 a father made a public complaint that his son had been beaten with a stick in such a way that he was bedridden. Bloody welts are said to have been left three days after the incident. The father announced that a medical report would be obtained and a lawsuit would be filed.

In 1909 responsibility for the schooling of children and the hiring of teachers was transferred from the parish to the state authorities. The actual separation between teaching post and sexton or cantorate did not take place until 1916, however. In this context, the cantor's building at 6 Mansfelder Strasse was assigned to the parish. In 1911, after Fermersleben was incorporated into Magdeburg in 1910, the town planning inspector Wilhelm Berner created the second floor. Since this renovation, the central part of the building has had the striking construction of the hipped roof with mansard . The school building is three-story across the eight window axes in the middle.

The facade is kept simple. Despite the many construction phases, the construction was carried out entirely with red bricks. The windows are designed as segment arch windows. The building rests on a base made of rubble stones . On the west side, the stairwells are emphasized by two outstanding risalits.

Inside, the individual rooms are accessed via the two stairwells; a central corridor through the building was dispensed with.

The school was operated as a Fermersleber elementary school . A principal of the school was Karl Lentz , who lived at 6 Faberstrasse. Lenz reported on October 13, 1916, against the background of the shortage of labor in the First World War , that about 100 students were on leave to carry out harvesting work. In the upper classes, lessons were severely limited, as more than half of the classes were sometimes missing. About 25 children were on leave, especially in villages outside the city.

In the period after the First World War, the pedagogue and school reformer Karl Linke was a teacher at the school. Swimming lessons were carried out for a time, at least in the early 1920s, by the Free Water Sports Club, Buckau-Fermersleben department on the Elbe .

In the 1930s, the school was called the 27th Community School . The school was run by Rector Giese .

In 1946 religious instruction in the school was stopped. The parish established a separate, extracurricular Christian teaching. The school was operated as a primary school, with classes continuing up to 8th grade. The responsible middle school , to which pupils went to obtain the secondary school leaving certificate in the 9th and 10th grades, was the Salbke Middle School . In 1957, a sponsorship contract was signed with the sailing section of BSG Motor Fermersleben and they took part in a children's regatta on the Elbe .

As usual in the GDR , the school became a Polytechnische Oberschule (POS) in 1960 . The lessons continued up to the 10th grade. The school was named Otto Lehmann .

After the end of the school year 2010/2011, the school, which was operated as a four-class elementary school at that time, was closed in 2011. The pupils were retrained in the Salbke elementary school, which was reopened after renovation . After a renovation, the school building was reopened as a residential building in 2019.

In the local register of monuments , the building is registered as a school under registration number 094 71418 as a monument .
