The Higher Töchterschule II in Hanover was a high school for girls established in the 19th century , from which the later Schiller School was to develop. The main location was at An der Christuskirche 28 in the northern part of today's Lower Saxony state capital. location
History and description
For the rapidly growing population in the course of industrialization in the Kingdom of Hanover, especially around the old royal seat of Hanover, additional schools had to be built, which at the time were still operated separately by sex. As early as 1853, the first secondary school for girls in Hanover was opened, later the Wilhelm Raabe School .
After the number of people in and around Hanover continued to rise sharply from the founding period of the German Empire , the city building inspector Otto Wilsdorff received the order for a new girls' school, which he plans to build next to the Christ Church between 1879 and 1882 has been.
The school opened at Easter 1879, although the new building on the Christ Church was not yet completed. Therefore, on April 22nd, 1879, the first 26 pupils began provisionally in the municipal school 9 in Hagenstrasse in the south of the Vahrenwald district , on today's Raiffeisenstrasse at the corner of Lüdersstrasse . location
In the meantime, the new building of the Higher Töchterschule II was built at the Christ Church, mainly made of red, partly colorless glazed brick on constructive sandstone elements in neo-Gothic style. The then director Mertens criticized the fact that “a drawing room, a physics room with an adjoining cabinet, possibly a 10th grade was missing, and the auditorium […] was too small”. After the new building was occupied at Easter 1881, an extension had to be added to the classroom in 1885. The reason for this, however, was primarily the new regulation of the school districts by the city of Hanover for those "[...] girls who lived north of the Goethestrasse - Schillerstrasse - Lister Meile - Eilenriede line and wanted to attend a secondary school "; these girls had to register at the Christ Church in school. As a result, "[...] in 1888 the number of 387 female students, which was remarkable for the time, was reached".
At the turn of the century there was a - Mr. - “Dr. Lohmann “director who ran the establishment without parallel classes with ten ascending classes including a Selekta . For its 25th anniversary, the Höhere Töchterschule II was raised to the rank of a lyceum or girls' grammar school in 1904 and was given the name Schillerschule .
Around a decade later - in the year of the beginning of the First World War - the Schillerschule at the Christ Church had long since become too small for the increased number of pupils, so that in 1914 the educational facility was relocated to the Clevertor west of the stone gate in the building of the former secondary school “Am Clevertor 3 - 4 ". location
At the time of National Socialism and during the Second World War , the Clevertor school building was completely destroyed by the air raids on Hanover . Classes in the Goethe School could be continued for a short time - but this building too soon fell into ruins due to aerial bombs . location
Former students of the first, destroyed Schillerschule in Hanover felt so connected to it that after the re-establishment of the Schillerschule they benevolently supported the equipment after 1954 with donations. location
