The primary school an der Marie is a primary school in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg in the Pankow district with an open all-day program. In the beginning of school there are multi-year learning groups. The building was erected in 1907/1908 as the 239th and 296th community school by city building officer Ludwig Hoffmann and is a listed building monument.

history

The school was established in 1908 as the 239th Catholic community school for girls and in 1909 as the 296th Catholic community school for boys, which is why there are two entrances from Christburger Strasse. During the First World War , the building served as a reserve hospital .

In 1908 the teacher's house was built. In April 1932 the Catholic boys' school was finally dissolved . Three years later, in 1935, a joint school for Catholic boys and girls' classes moved into the building. At the end of the Second World War , 1945, the school was again used as a military hospital and a makeshift hospital. During the GDR era, a polyclinic was established in the building , which existed until 1992.

After the reunification , however, the building at Christburger Strasse 7 was empty, as the operations of all previous polyclinics were "wound up". From 1994 to 1999 the school building was rebuilt as part of an infrastructure project for 25 million Deutschmarks, with the school yard also being laid out. After the renovation, at the beginning of the 1999/2000 school year, the 5th Prenzlauer Berg elementary school moved into the building. In 2001 the “lifeboat” school station was founded.

The teacher's house was not renovated at first and fell into disrepair. At the insistence of the parents, the house was secured and the idea of ​​setting up a neighborhood club was born. Finally, the renovation began in 2003. In 2005 the teacher's house was opened as a leisure center. It is used independently as a day care center and, together with the youth welfare office, as a children's and youth club.

Building description

The 90 m long main building of the school was built as a perimeter block development in a street already built on with residential buildings. The school is separated from the building line by approx. 3 m and is delimited by a massive fence. In between there is a strip of green that is planted with conifers . This alleviates the depressing impression of the four-story building and relativizes the height. The building represents the strictest type of Hoffmann school building. The three-winged building is characterized by the facade made of red clinker bricks and high windows, which are divided into five sections and structure the facade. Due to the strict vertical structure, reminiscent of sacred buildings, the school appears more monumental than it actually is. The arched windows are arranged in groups of three and the sections of the facade are divided into three groups by pilaster strips . The back of the school opens up to a school yard planted with trees, which continues to the Marie town square and is also separated from this by a massive fence. In the schoolyard there is also the teachers' house, which was built in 1908 and is designed in the same style as the main building. There is a transition to the garden house on the Marie .

There are two entrances ( basket arch passages ) that still reveal the earlier division into boys 'and girls' schools. The fence posts of the entrance gates are decorated with a dog and a cat. There are terracotta children's figures above the arched windows , which soften the severity of the facade and identify the building as a community schoolhouse. Since the collaboration between the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and the pottery manufacturer Tobias Feilner , there has been a tradition of workshops for ceramic jewelry in Berlin.

In his construction, Hoffman cites the brick Gothic or neo-Gothic with the vertical structure and the use of brick, as well as the Renaissance with the triple windows and arches . The design and execution were created in collaboration with the Matzdorff and Neumann municipal building officers and the Rohmeyer and Gerecke architects. The sculptures and the fence with gate are works by the sculptor Ignatius Taschner , who also designed the figures of the fairy tale fountain in the Volkspark Friedrichshain.
