The Salbke primary school is a listed school building in the Salbke district of Magdeburg .

history

The building, located at Friedhofstrasse No. 2 , was built in several construction phases from 1904 to supplement the old school Salbke, which is located further to the east and has become too small . The plans have been signed by the district architect of the Wanzleben district , to which the then still independent Salbke belonged, Bumpert. First the western part of the building was built, with the entrance there and three adjacent window axes. In 1905, school operations began in the schoolhouse designed as a boys' school.

According to the first draft, it was intended to erect a neo-Gothic stepped gable over the four western window axes . It is not known whether this was ever carried out, but at least it would have been removed in the second construction phase from 1910. During this phase, today's central section was built up to behind the eastern entrance.

The school was operated as a Salbker elementary school . Gustav Schmidt and Karl Malcherek are known as principals of the school in the 1910s . Schmidt lived in Buckau at Schönebecker Strasse 93, Malcherek at Wörther Strasse 14, today's Kroppenstedter Strasse. At the beginning of World War I , by order of the city's magistrate, events were held in the school to produce so-called gifts of love for the soldiers at the front. Director Malcherek reported that shortly before Christmas 1914 the largest number of visitors was recorded with 30 adults and 80 children. Due to the war, many students had to help out in agriculture, which meant that lessons were often canceled. On October 12, 1916, the rector Karl Malcherek informed the Royal District School Inspectorate that on October 11 and 12 alone the school had received 42 requests to leave children from class for agricultural work. The rector then extended the vacation by eight days until October 19. But even after that there was still a need for the students to work. From October 24th to 28th, 1916, 70 pupils from three classes at the Salbker School worked in the harvesting department. A similar situation existed in the Catholic elementary school on Repkowstrasse . In the winter of 1917/18, lessons at the Westerhüser School were moved to Salbke , probably because of the shortage of heating materials .

On April 23, 1923 Otto Dieckmann , until then rector in Westerhüsen, was transferred to the Salbke elementary school. The national-conservative Dieckmann did not fit in with the new conception of the content of the Westerhüsen School, which was converted into a reform school. Diekmann continued to live at Sohlener Strasse 128 in Westerhüsen . During the Nazi era , German compulsory workers and foreign workers were also housed on the school grounds at Friedhofstrasse 2-4 . At that time, the 28th community school and the 10th middle school existed in the building .

Herbert Wahrendorf was a teacher at the school between 1945 and 1949 . During this time, Wahrendorf became the East German champion in field handball and was later a well-known sports teacher and sports official. Until 1957, the school was named Grundschule Salbke, with classes 1 to 8 being taught. The headmaster was Wilhelm Kramer, who was awarded the title of Honored Teacher of the People in 1952 . The reason given was that he had developed the Salbke elementary school into one of the best elementary schools in Magdeburg through good organizational skills. In 1957 the school became middle school and two ninth grades. The 9th grade pupils also came from the primary schools in Fermersleben and Westerhüsen. However, it was still possible in Salbke to graduate from the 8th grade after an examination. In the 9th grade, the middle school students had handicrafts lessons at school . From September 1, 1958, polytechnic lessons were carried out in the Salbke Reichsbahn repair shop for 10th grade students. For these students, the handicraft lessons were omitted. However, technical drawing was given at school. The Reichsbahn repair shop became the sponsoring company of the school. From 1960 the school became, as is common in the whole of the GDR , a polytechnic high school and was named Ernst Brandt . This stayed that way until 1990. Teaching continued up to grade 10. There was no longer a secondary school leaving certificate . In 1984 Fahlberg-List and the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk set up a joint polytechnic center, in which polytechnic lessons for the Salbker and Westerhüser high schools were carried out.

In terms of sport, the Polytechnic Oberschule was particularly involved in the so-called small peace drive in the run-up to the peace drive and organized stage lap races.

In the course of the political change in 1989 , there were no classes on Saturdays for the first time in December 1989. Until then, there were six days of classes a week, with fewer hours on Saturday than in the rest of the week. The upper classes had previously finished classes on Saturdays at 1 p.m. On June 1, 1990, Children's Day , the sports hall belonging to the school and located a little further to the west on the former site of the Salbke cemetery was inaugurated.

The building was renovated in 2010/2011. During this time, teaching took place in the Westerhüsen primary school building . From February 2011 on, teaching was back in Salbke. With the closure of the Fermersleben primary school in 2011, the students from Fermersleben also go to the Salbker school.

architecture

The school building is two-story with a mansard roof . The long building complex is plastered, with the plastered surfaces framed by pilaster strips made of red bricks. The facade is also structured by similarly designed cornices and arched friezes. Also closing and fighters stones adorn the facade. The framing of the segmented arched windows and door openings, which were designed in alternation of stone and red bricks, are striking . Inside, the individual classrooms are accessed through a hallway in the middle.

There is a citizen solar system on the roof of the school .
