Architecture and history
The construction of the school was decided in 1903 and completed in 1906 as the 2nd Wilhelmstadt Citizens' Boys School, and thus as a school for intermediate education, in Steinkuhlenstrasse, today's Albert-Vater-Strasse. In the years 1907/1908 extensions were built. On January 7, 1908, school operations began in the newly built northern half of the school. That is where the girls learned. City planning officer Otto Peters and city planning inspector Wilhelm Berner worked as architects . The new building had become necessary in the course of the strong population increase in the southern district of Wilhelmstadt, today's Stadtfeld Ost.
A three-story red brick building was built in the style of historicism . There are elements of the Neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau styles. The floor plan is in the form of an L, with the classrooms strung together in a north-south direction and accessed through a long corridor in the middle. The west facade of this wing is designed with 23 or 25 axes. It is symmetrically structured by two narrow single and double-axis risalits. The risalites are crowned by gables that are reminiscent of the design of castles. An identically designed risalit also exists on the south facade of the front building facing the street. There are entrances on the ground floor of each risalite. The east facade is more simple but similar. The school is covered by a high hipped roof . To the east of the head building on the street is the two-storey gymnasium. To the east of this is the entrance to the school yard, which is flanked on the east side by the two-story residential building of the two castellans who originally worked at the school . This building also takes up the design of the school and cites the gable of the risalite on the schoolhouse.
There are several notable decorative elements on the buildings. There are late Gothic forms such as the back of a donkey and tracery . Above the ground floor there is an Art Nouveau frieze made of colorful tiles. Further decorations in the Art Nouveau style are the plastered surfaces with wave patterns, rounded window reveals facing the street, floral motifs on the consoles of the belt arches in the interior of the school corridors and on the banisters made of wrought iron. The stairwells still show remnants of the original elaborate design of the ceilings with ribbed vaults .
During the Second World War , the school complex suffered considerable damage. The northern wing was restored in a simplified form in 1951. In the following years the Friedrich-Naumann-Schule and the Franz-Mehring-Schule were housed in the complex. From 1988 the Polytechnic High School Erich Weinert used the building. In the period after the political change in 1989 , the school landscape was restructured again. The complex was then used by the Am Westernplan primary school and the Friedrich Naumann secondary school , and later by the Stadtfeld primary school and the Anne Frank language therapy school. The fort building is used by the after-school care center.
The building complex is listed as a school in the local monument register under registration number 094 82262.
