The school is located on Hausotterplatz , which is named after the landowner Karl Hausotter, who also had the nearby Hausotterstraße built.

history

The property between Winterstrasse and Hoppestrasse was formerly owned by the farmer Karl Ferdinand August Hausotter (1829-1896), who was part of a farming family that had lived in Reinickendorf for centuries for 38,000 gold marks to build a new school building there , before the municipality bought it for 38,000 gold marks . In 1896, construction of the brick building began as the main house by the architect Hans Krecke and the owner of the Reinickendorf community. A year later it was opened as the fourth community elementary school at Hausotterplatz 4 with a consecration in the auditorium. In front of the brick building, the stables and back buildings at Hausotterplatz were used for teaching. After the brick building opened, there were seven classes with 415 children and six teachers with an average of 59.3 children per class. Gustav Wilke became the first headmaster. He acted from August 2, 1879 to June 30, 1900 as main teacher and then until February 30, 1929, after he had passed his rector's examination on June 21 and 22, 1900, as rector.

Due to the rapidly increasing number of students, the main building was expanded in 1907 to include a three-story auxiliary building. In 1908 the extension building was rebuilt. The number of pupils grew to 1,350 children and 38 teachers by 1949. In 1964 and 1985, four pavilions were built on the outside area . In 2010 the wing to the gyms and the sanitary facilities were renovated. In 2014, the Goldbeck construction company created a three-storey extension building with a total of 1615 m² floor space. The school grounds cover a total of 14,000 m².

School profile

The Hausotter elementary school is an all-day school in an open form and has a sports-oriented profile. In addition, cross-year learning (JÜL / SaPh) is used in grades 1-3. In the Hausotter elementary school there is the possibility to choose from courses for the focus development in the 5th and 6th grade. In addition to French, you can also choose from photography and sports such as table tennis and volleyball . However, it is also possible to choose the conflict pilot course, in which one becomes a conflict pilot after training in the 5th grade. In the Hausotter elementary school, development therapy / development education (ETEP) takes place twice a week in a support group with a maximum of eight children in order to achieve the support goal that has been defined and discussed with the teachers.

The school building has an auditorium with a large stage and various specialist rooms for computers, music, history and geography, art and NAWI . It also has two gyms and a student library. The outdoor area of ​​the school, which includes a large school yard, sports fields for various types of sport and a playground, is 14,000 m².

building

The municipal administration directed the longitudinal front of the massive, higher, three-story core building of the house otter school with a high, richly structured central projection to Kamenkestrasse. The same and very wide formats of arched windows on the first two floors, smaller on the third floor and grouped into groups of four, structure the symmetrical facade structure. The staggered group of windows on the risalit, which corresponded to the blind arches , has not survived. In addition, as with the Paul Löbe High School on Lindauer Allee, the original lattice windows were removed , so that an essential design element was lost. With a loggia and a turret, the Rector's and Teacher's House is connected to the two-story building on the side of the square. The principal and teachers' house in the core building and the gymnasium at Hoppestrasse 1–6, which was built at the same time, are connected by the form elements of the brick Gothic . The lower rector's house attached to the gable end of the school looks like an annex despite the intention to use a similar, Gothic-style design language to make both components appear as an annex and therefore appears little composed in the mass structure of both buildings. Today's Friedrich-von-Bodelschwingh special school from 1909 is located in the three-storey extension building adjacent to the gymnasium on Hoppestrasse, which stands out due to its careful, true-to-scale structure, for example in the gable side staggered with blind arches.

The red brick building, designed by the municipal building inspector Hans Krecke , only shows a symbolic, historicizing architectural language. Together with the older school buildings, the brick building forms a communal building complex, which expresses the rural community's desire for representative self-presentation through its spacious design.

Criticism after bullying case 2019

The school got into national headlines after the suicide of an 11-year-old girl who is said to have been the victim of massive bullying attacks. However, it is unclear whether the suicide resulted from the bullying. The rector Daniela Walter rejected the bullying allegations on the one hand. A parent of a child had mobilized the anti-bullying trainer Carsten Stahl through the SPD after the death, which was the first time the school fell into disrepute and received media attention.
