history

The Gestorf school was introduced in the course of the Reformation around 1540 and was first mentioned in a document on the occasion of the second church visit held in the town in 1588 . Here the Burgmannen zu Gestorf inform the ecclesiastical and princely visitors to Wolfenbüttel about their request to make the cleared town hall available as a school building in order to fill it with “a pious and gelart journeyman” [sic], a teacher who “dear youth to teach reading and writing and teaching in catechism ”.

This schoolmaster also worked as a sexton at the Gestorfer Evangelical Church until 1919 . Over a period of more than 200 years he had to teach more than 200 children at times , and it was not until 1797 that the church superiors, who were in charge of the school inspectorate, approved a second teaching position. In addition, a so-called " industrial school " was set up. Here a teacher instructed the girls in spinning , weaving , knitting , sewing , mending , darning and flattening . Later this school was officially incorporated into the elementary school and continued as a handicraft lesson. From the school chronicle shows that the first teacher and clerk some total of just five in 1901 hectares large plots to its sole usufruct had been provided.

In 1874 the school was divided into lower, middle and upper grades, but had no third teacher. In 1894 two teachers shared a total of 235 children. Due to the decline in the birth rate and population, the number of pupils fell to 84 in 1924, then slowly increased again, only to rise to the record level of 258 for the five teachers six years after the Second World War due to the influx of displaced persons from eastern Germany were available.

In the 2019/20 school year, around 46 children were taught by five teachers in three classes at the Gestorf primary school, which now only includes grades 1 to 4. Years 1 and 2 are combined as a combined class, classes 3 and 4 are trained separately.

school-building

In 1863 the school received a new building in neo-renaissance style

After the lessons had initially taken place in the evacuated town hall, the school received its own school building in the 18th century, consisting of a half-timbered building with a half- hipped roof in the village center . In 1863 Conrad Wilhelm Hase erected a larger building, a clinker brick building in the neo-renaissance style, opposite the village church . Around 1900 numerous new brick school buildings were built in Prussia , the facades of which were structured by plastered fields, corner pilasters , cornices and window frames. In 1901 the Gestorf elementary school received such a building. The entrance, which was initially let into the side bay house , was later closed by a window.
