The elementary school on Oselstrasse (called Oselschule ) in the Munich district of Pasing emerged from a private higher Protestant daughter school , later a secondary school for girls and an evangelical denominational school ( elementary school ) .

building

The educational institution was built in Oselstrasse according to plans by the renowned Art Nouveau architect Richard Riemerschmid . The house facade is structured by plaster cornices and window pilasters and the upper end of the south and north gables is curved in a Baroque style. The shape of the roof was designed as a so-called hipped roof .

history

The Evangelical Girls' School Association was founded in 1907 because after Pasing was elevated to the status of town in 1905, many Protestant citizens settled in the newly created villa colonies I and II and wanted a denominational higher education institution for their daughters. In a room in the Steinerbad restaurant , Berta Hamer started a one-class school for girls from the upper middle class in 1908. Since another class was added every year, the space shortage was very great and the school had to move frequently. The respected Pasinger citizen and economist Arthur Riemerschmid donated a large piece of land to the denominational girls 'school association on Richard Wagner Strasse for the construction of a private evangelical girls ' school . In 1914 the educational institution was able to move into the new house. Due to the turmoil of the First World War, the Hamerschule saw its existence threatened.

In 1920 Martha von Grot , a teacher of German descent who had been expelled from the Baltic States, took over the management of the girls 'college , since 1924 girls' college . In close cooperation with Georg Kerschensteiner and Marie Freiin von Gebsattel , she introduced the reform pedagogical method of educational teaching , "which, in addition to conveying learning content, is also intended to support the further development of the personality", based u. a. on the basic principle of free, intellectual self-activity (independent activity, freedom) (Schwertberger 1998, p. 37). The Grotschule , as it was soon called, developed into a model institution known far beyond the city limits. In a report to the Prussian Ministry of Education, Georg Kerschensteiner described the Grotschule as a model institution in an experimental educational sense . The method of educational teaching was so successful that the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture saw itself compelled to hold introductory courses in educational teaching in 1930 and 1931, initially on the basis of German lessons.

Another novelty of the Grotschule at the time was its gymnastics lessons , which were given by a teacher trained in Loheland . This broke through the goals and methods of traditional physical education, which, guided by the goals of military training, was based on equipment and organization exercises. New forms of gymnastics lessons were artistic expression through rhythmic gymnastics according to Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and Swedish gymnastics according to Pehr Henrik Ling . The lessons were based on spontaneous free movement.

Martha von Grot attached particular importance to the Christian character of the school. For them religion was not just a subject, but determined all of life. As a result, religious education is the “heart of all school teaching ... because it is the source of the invigorating forces for the spirit of the class” (Gebsattel 1949, p. 26).

Martha von Grot and some of her employees left Pasing after seven years. The director of the Moravian Brethren in Neuwied am Rhein, Walter Wedemann, was able to win over the headmistress to help set up the girls' institution there. The Grot School and the Daughters Home were continued in the spirit of Martha von Grot, partly by former students.

As the school grew noticeably, the “Evangelical Girls' School Association” built a daughter's home for 30 pupils in the immediate vicinity of the school “for the internal girls”. The girls who found no protection in their parents' home should be cared for here ( Pasinger Archive 1996, p. 34).

In 1941 the city of Munich took over the »Grotschule«. A regular school operation was difficult during the war years. In the spring of 1945 the school building was damaged by a bomb attack. The end of the war on May 8, 1945 meant the temporary "off". Seven months later, regular classes could start again in a poorly prepared room in the boarding school cellar.

Until 1958, the former "Grotschule" housed the "Realgymnasium für Mädchen" (the later Elsa-Brändström-Gymnasium ). Until then, the Protestant elementary school students were housed as guests in various school buildings in Pasings and Obermenzings. One example is the Catholic girls' elementary school of the monastery of the English Misses at Institutstrasse 4, where the “Evangelical elementary school Pasing” was allowed to claim guest status from 1948 to 1958. For the lower two classes, a single-storey outbuilding was docked directly to the existing house. In 2017 the entire building was demolished.

In 1958 the facility on Oselstrasse was converted into a Protestant denominational school (elementary school). However, there was a great lack of space in the beautiful new schoolhouse. Five more classes still had to be outsourced, and six classes had shift lessons at the Oselschule. The local newspaper in Pasing, Der Würmtalbote, wrote on April 30, 1958: “Since moving into the school building on Oselstrasse, the Protestant school in Pasing has been full of happiness. It is like a family that has finally received a nice apartment from an emergency room ”(quoted in Primary School on Oselstrasse 1988, p. 42).

On the first day of school in 1964, radio, television and the press besieged the school building because the millionth citizen of the city of Munich ( Das Miobuaberl ) started school as the first grader .

In 1968, the confessional schools in Bavaria were abolished and one year later, with the start of school in September 1969, the primary school on Oselstrasse began operations. In the 1974/75 school year, 521 children attended the educational establishment. As a result, shift teaching had to be introduced (once again). Since the old school building and the new building erected in 1965 were in danger of bursting at the seams, several new building measures were necessary in the following years.

Since the beginning of the 2002/2003 school year there has been an integrative class with around 5 children with a disability and since 2003/2004 there has been an integrative afternoon care. Additional teaching offers within the framework of remedial courses, inclination groups (e.g. German, school garden group) and working groups complement the core teaching.

In the 2011/2012 school year, around 290 students attended the Osel School .
