The five-storey old building and the pavilion were completed in 1958, the extension with the striking blue tile facade was inaugurated in 2003. The Helene-Lange-Realschule has been in the immediate vicinity since 1962 .
School history
The origins of the school lie in the Heilbronn Sunday Trade School and the drawing and modeling school founded in 1841 from the foundation fund of the silver goods factory Peter Bruckmann & Sons , which were merged after the formation of a commission on the organization and content of the further training school in 1853. The commercial advanced training school that was created in this way began teaching on September 1, 1854 in Heilbronn.
The school was initially located in different buildings in the 19th century. From 1889 the school was in the newly built Königliche Realanstalt (today Robert-Mayer-Gymnasium ), in 1899 the school became the municipal commercial school and moved to premises in the Karlsgymnasium (today Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium ). Compulsory daily instruction for male apprentices was introduced in 1909 and for female apprentices in 1920. In 1924 a two-year full commercial school was established at the school, which in 1926 became the higher commercial school. In 1929 the school moved into its own school building at Gartenstrasse 64. Otto Weber Verlag had previously been located in the building, which is why the building was also called Weber's school building .
The building was confiscated in 1939, except for the administration rooms for the security and emergency services (SHD). Therefore, during the Second World War, lessons took place in the rooms of the Robert Mayer High School. School life came to a standstill after the air raid on Heilbronn . In the post-war period there was initially the commercial vocational school and the upper level of the higher commercial school, and in 1950 the application of the city of Heilbronn to found a business school was approved. A new building for the school was built at Frankfurter Straße 63 by 1957. In 1967 the business school became a business high school and the higher commercial school became a business school. In 1968 the commercial vocational school was divided into two schools for the city and district of Heilbronn, in 1969 the branch of the higher commercial school ended. The school was named on April 12, 1973 after Gustav von Schmoller . On the same day, two more vocational schools in Heilbronn were named after historical personalities. The three Heilbronn vocational schools are the first vocational schools in Baden-Württemberg to be given a name. In 2002 a business informatics vocational college was set up, and in 2003 an extension was inaugurated on Frankfurter Strasse.
building
Old building and pavilion from 1957
The buildings from the 1950s were built according to designs by the architectural association Stuber & Erich K. Hess , moved into at the end of 1957 and inaugurated on January 7, 1958. The main building is a five-storey main building with lower secondary wings, in front of which there is a pavilion supported by columns and a staircase with a wave-shaped roof. The abstract quarry stone mosaic with wrought iron work by Hans Epple from Flein is remarkable on the pavilion facade facing Weststrasse . In the stairwell of the old building there are wooden reliefs by the sculptor Gottfried Gruner , which are supposed to symbolize various trade routes to and from Heilbronn.
Extension from 2003
The extension from 2003 by the architects Arno Lederer + Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir + Marc Oei stands out due to its blue tiled facade. The entrance to the new building is deliberately aligned with the existing pavilion and, analogous to this, also partly built on pillars. The shape of the new building also picks up on the wave shape of the pavilion roof, which continues up to the curved walls in a student work room and the window niches on Weststrasse.
The new building has a self-contained and compact wall opposite the busy Weststraße, which protects the school building from the noise. A uniform long corridor is located directly behind this wall and provides access to the class and media rooms that have been arranged along the corridor. The vertical access to these corridors is accessed via stairwells that are connected to the corridors at the same height. The stairwells are particularly noticeable because they are rounded on the outside. The incidence of light in the stairwells is less than the incidence of light in the classrooms. This underlines the architectural contrast between the staircase and the school building.
The Gustav von Schmoller School received the Good Buildings Award in 2005.
