building

The building at Stadtplatz 36 is a four-storey corner house, still late Gothic in the core , which was built in the second half of the 15th century. The baroque facade towards the town square was probably built around 1700. On the ground floor there is a shop and a two-winged portal with pilasters and a simple gable . Above it is a stucco medallion with an image of Mary on sheet metal. The windows on the 1st and 3rd floors are decorated with segmental arched shelled roofs. These are pointed gables on the 2nd floor. In an anteroom on the ground floor there is a late Gothic ribbed vault from the second half of the 15th century. During the city ​​fire on November 10, 1504, the building was completely or partially burned out. The main building of the school was built in 1929/30 and the historic parts of the building were integrated into the new building. Compared to the previous building, this was widened by a window axis . On March 2, 1945, the building was damaged in a bomb attack by flying cobblestones .

history

The first known owners of the building at the beginning of the 15th century are the Kölnpeck couple, who sold it to the nobleman Georg Ahaimer zu Hagenau and his wife on May 14, 1418 . Their sons Lorenz and Georg sold the building to Duke Heinrich the Rich of Lower Bavaria on June 18, 1434 . From then on it served the dukes of the Bayern-Landshut line and then the Munich line as a town house. In the second half of the 17th century it was first inhabited by the ducal magistrate Peter Franz Grembs, before it was acquired in 1762 by the electoral Bavarian real Privy Councilor and rentmaster Maximilian Joseph Baron of Berchem. From 1783 there was a boys' school in an outbuilding (the girls were taught by the English ladies ). In 1907 this was extended to the building at Stadtplatz 36. In 1970 the city ​​council decided to name the facility after Hans Stethaimer . The highest number of pupils was reached in the school year 1943/44 with 977 pupils. However, due to the construction of further primary schools in Burghausen, the number fell sharply in the following years and is now around 90 students.
