The old building of today's elementary school on Limesstrasse in the Munich district of Aubing is a listed building from 1906. The original village school stood in the center of the village, north of the Munich – Buchloe railway line . The construction of a second school was necessary because the population increased sharply due to the influx of workers for the newly opened Centralwerkstätte der Bahn in the south of the then independent community. The residents of the railway workers' apartments in the Neuaubing colony , south of the Pasing – Herrsching railway line , and those of the Freiham estate were to be supplied by the new "Aubing Freiham School". Due to their location exactly between the old village center and the colony, the later growing together was encouraged.
The school building, with four large classrooms and apartments for teachers and caretakers, was considered exemplary by contemporary observers. On the occasion of the opening, the Süddeutsche Bauzeitung wrote: "Aubing now owns a school building, the layout and interior furnishings of which meet all the requirements that one is entitled to expect from a modern school building in the country today."
Prehistory and location
- see also: History of Aubing
In the course of the establishment of the Eisenbahn-Centralwerkstätte and the associated population growth, the Munich District Office had already recorded the arrival of 100 school-age children in 1904 . Co-supervision at the “Aubing-Dorf” school was not possible, so the district office asked the Aubing community several times to build a new school. The community committees, however, did not want to bow to this despite the clear legal obligation: They took the position that those responsible for the establishment of the Centralwerkstätte also had to finance the necessary infrastructure. The district office helped the community financially by providing grants and having the district engineer and architect Adolf Fraas create a plan free of charge for the community.
According to a source, the railway finally promised a stake of 50,000 marks (adjusted for inflation about 319,000 euros), provided that the community would make the former Lochhamer Weg (now Limesstraße), i.e. the connection from the school to the railway workers' apartments and the Centralwerkstätte, two lanes expand and equip with a solid footpath. The costs for this amounted to 30,000 marks (≈ 191,000 euros). The community finally agreed and, according to this source, had to take out a further 90,000 marks (≈ 574,000 euros) in loans, which were financed by levies from the taxable citizens - that is, property owners other than the railway. According to another contemporary source, the total cost was 90,000 marks, to which the Ministry of Transport contributed 50,000 marks and the district 10,000 marks.
Hugo von Maffei , owner of Gut Freiham , who had initiated the settlement of the Centralwerkstatt, offered the community a cheap building site near his estate in order to encourage further settlement on his property. However, the community refused. Finally, the pastor in Aubingen offered the parish the property on which today's Limes school stands. Due to the location between Alt-Aubing and the new settlement, this led to a merging of both areas in the following years. It is interesting in this context that although the church had the supervision of schools through the Concordat , the royal government of Upper Bavaria, as the curatorial authority of the church foundations, prohibited donations. Therefore, an "equivalent" exchange was made for an acid meadow elsewhere.
The original, almost rectangular property was about two to three times as long as it was wide and the short side was on the road (see map). The size of two days' work (around 6800 m²) also offered space for ancillary buildings, a tree-lined, square gymnastics and playground and in the rear and side areas kitchen and ornamental gardens.
The school at the opening
On October 2nd, 1906, the two-storey "Aubing Freiham School" was inaugurated, initially with 42 students.
A detailed description of the schoolhouse appeared in the Süddeutsche Bauzeitung in January 1907 (see reproductions below). Two “school halls” (classrooms) for 67 children each were on the ground floor, two more for 70 children each on the first floor. On the ground floor there was also a community office, which could also be used as a conference room, and a teacher's apartment with five rooms, a kitchen, a closet and a toilet . On the first floor there was a teaching material room and another, similar teacher's apartment with six rooms, one of which could also be separated for an assistant teacher. The apartments were in the wing on the street, the classrooms were in a wing that was built on at right angles. There were also toilet rooms for boys and girls on both floors. The top floor was equipped with the caretaker's apartment as well as additional rooms for assistant teachers and “all the small rooms necessary”.
The description also mentioned that the whole building was provided with electric lighting and canalized, with a septic tank in the courtyard and a nine-meter-deep tubular well for the water supply. The simple decoration of the interior was also particularly emphasized in order to "break the monotony that is common in such school buildings".
Another story
The school initially offered seven school years. In 1909, the board of directors of the Aubing youth welfare association approached the High Royal Government of Upper Bavaria with an urgent request to introduce an eighth school year in all of Aubing. Since boys were only allowed to learn a trade at the age of 14, they would have a year off at the end of school, at an age when they “needed the strictest supervision and loving guidance”, but often both parents would have to work. Idleness and futility as the initiator of misery should be avoided by obliging those boys who did not work in agriculture but wanted to learn a trade to attend an eighth grade. In 1910 there were already 120 students. 30 Protestant children went to school in neighboring Pasing. In 1915 the name was changed to Neuaubing elementary school . In 1928/29 the number of classrooms was doubled to eight with a first extension, an extension of the classroom wing, and 321 students were recorded.
In the summer of 1943, before the end of the summer vacation, around 30 pupils from the secondary school in neighboring Pasing were forced to work as air force helpers for the Neuaubinger Flak battery (today Freienfelsstrasse) and were accommodated in two classrooms on the ground floor of the Neuaubing elementary school. The rooms were equipped with double bunk beds with straw sacks, tables, chairs and lockers. Two commanding NCOs occupied another room. Among the 17-year-old schoolchildren born in 1926 and 1927 were also those who went to elementary school here. It was forbidden to leave the site, and there were only a few exceptions to this rule for weeks. Her school lessons also took place in the same building. In 1944 the Luftwaffe helpers moved to barracks near the flak position. There, too, they continued to receive lessons from their teachers.
The schoolhouse survived the Second World War unscathed and was used as a refugee camp in 1945 after the end of the war. School operations were resumed in October 1945. Including the former teacher's and handicrafts room, ten rooms were available to teach 1010 children in 22 classes with an average of 46 students working in shifts in the mornings and afternoons.
The new building, still known today, was built in 1956 in the former schoolyard. A total of nine classrooms are housed on three floors. A gym is located in the basement of the old building under the classrooms, and in 1960 a second gym with a swimming pool was built. It is located south of the old building, outside the original school grounds. Nine grades were still taught until 1976, when the conversion took place: the “Confession School on Limesstrasse” became the “ Primary School on Limesstrasse”, but it is mostly called the Limes School . At the same time, the day care center was opened, which has since offered afternoon care for over 60 children in several rooms on the ground floor of the old building.
Today (2013), grades 1 to 4 are taught with three classes each in twelve classrooms, nine in the new building and three on the 1st floor of the original building with the expansion from 1928/29.
