history

The foundation stone of the building took place on 24 September 1933 Hans Schemm , the kingdom of Walter NSLB , Minister of Culture of Bavaria and Gauleiter of the Gau Bavarian Ostmark . The completion was in 1936, on the occasion of the Reichstagung of the NSLB the inauguration took place on July 12, 1936. The architect of the building was Hans Reissinger , who also designed other major projects in the city.

The most important room in the building was the sacred “Weihehalle”, also known as the “Hall of Honor for the German Mother ”. An organ and a several-meter-high statue of Willi Hoselmann , which depicted a woman with three children, stood on the front sides . It artistically reflected the women's political program of National Socialism , the NSLB and the National Socialist Women 's Association. In addition, a memory room was set up for Hans Schemm, who died in a plane crash in 1935. After Schemm's death, the square in front of the house (and thus the address of the building) was renamed Hans-Schemm-Platz.

During the third bombing of the city by the Royal Air Force during World War II , the House of German Education was also damaged on April 11, 1945. After the war, from 1947 to 1950, the architect Franz Hart rebuilt the building , although the hipped roof was not restored.

In the post-war period , the building was used by Bayerische Elektricitäts-Lieferungs-Gesellschaft AG (BELG), founded in Bayreuth in 1914, which presented television reception for the first time in one of its shop windows at the end of March 1956. At the present time, the former House of German Education is an administration building of the E.ON Group.
