The Heinrich Kromer School is a primary school in the Niederursel district of Frankfurt . It is located between Urselbach , Niederurseler Landstrasse and the Wiesenau settlement .
history
In 1585, Johannes Andreas from Windecken, the first schoolmaster in Niederursel, is mentioned. Karl Volz from Bergen, who applied for the office of school clerk in Niederursel in 1711, was rewarded with 22 Albus and 4 pfennigs per child. Johannes Geissel, the next teacher, also received a piece of land to keep a cow. He was responsible for both halves of the village. In 1779 the Solms teacher received 45 kreuzers per school child annually. The school was attended by 24 children. From 1811, the two halves of the village started taking lessons in the Frankfurt schoolhouse after the last Solm teacher Kaspar Winter died. Subsequently, teachers were Johannes Thomas Wagner (1772–1828), Johann Kaspar Becker (1828–1833) and Friedrich Battenberg (1833–1845). Under the new teacher Johann Holl, a new schoolhouse (Alt-Niederursel 34, is a listed building) with two classes was built in 1845. After the number of pupils had risen to 150 in 1860, a second teacher, Karl Rohr, was hired in addition to Holl. Holl now earned 500 guilders , Rohr 300 guilders a year. The last main teacher before the incorporation was Kakob Barth from 1878 to 1911.
In 1910 it was incorporated and the school was now an elementary school for the city of Frankfurt am Main . With the construction of the Wiesenau settlement and the growth of the village, the number of students rose sharply. In 1911 the third, in 1913 the fourth and in 1926 the fifth teaching post was established. In 1912 a school barrack was built as the third classroom and the headmaster's room behind the church.
With the construction of the new Gustav Adolf Church in 1926, the barracks on Haingraben were moved.
In 1928 the Niederursel primary school moved from the town center to a new building, the current building. The two-storey building was designed by the Viennese architect Professor Franz Schuster as part of the Neues Frankfurt project . The building is characterized by the arrangement of two classrooms on each floor on a stairwell, which means that the rooms can be lit from both sides. As a “ cobbler type ”, this design became the model for many other school buildings. The building was badly damaged by bombing during World War II and rebuilt in 1960.
In the 1960s, the north-west town was built around the school . Due to the large number of new residents, the number of pupils at the Niederursel school also increased and another building was required. The architects Bartsch, Thürwächter and Weber planned the new single-storey building with pavilion classes, which was completed in 1965. Each classroom has an allocated open space with a terrace, which is considered a special feature in Europe. The development follows the course of the terrain, steps down towards the valley and ends in an open-air stage in front of the Urselbach. In 1965 the school was renamed Heinrich Kromer School. In 1972 the main school branch ended. Since then, the Heinrich Kromer School has been a pure elementary school. The number of students continued to rise, so that in the mid-1970s another new lightweight building with eight classrooms was built. The current number of students in the four-class school is around 370. In addition to the sixteen regular classes, there is also a preliminary class.
