Engineering School for Construction Darmstadt
The engineering school for construction was a school in Darmstadt .
history
In 1812 Georg Moller founded a building school as a training school for building craftsmen . This first construction school in Darmstadt was integrated into the Realschule in 1822 . In the winter of 1846/1847 there was a failed attempt to found a building trade school in Darmstadt.
On December 1, 1849, the Darmstadt trade association opened a winter construction school for further training of construction workers . Bookkeeping , geometry , mathematics , mechanics , drawing and other subjects were taught in this building school from December to March .
State trade school from 1876
On December 1, 1876, the winter construction school was expanded to become the state trade school , which was positioned between the technical schools and the Technical University of Darmstadt . The new school enabled the graduates of a building trade school to train as construction technicians . The school started operating with one class in winter lessons. Building design , building construction , field measurement , elements of machine construction and physics were added to the subjects taught so far .
In 1877 the school became two-tier. In the same year, the school building erected in 1877 at Neckarstrasse 3 ( 49 ° 52 ′ 16 ″ N, 8 ° 38 ′ 39 ″ E ) was put into operation. From the winter of 1890/1891 the school was divided into three classes. Since 1895 the whole year has been taught, from the summer of 1898 in four consecutive classes. In 1901 a special civil engineering department was set up. The first full-time headmaster was Hermann Müller from 1891. From 1906 to 1930 Arthur Wienkoop was headmaster. The school sponsor was the Darmstadt Trade Association .
The building trade school developed from a training school for building craftsmen to a building technician school. The school primarily trained specialists for municipal and state civil engineering services.
In the 1900s, building construction classes were extended to five semesters . In the years 1908–1910 a new building was built according to plans by the architect Arthur Wienkoop.
In January 1927 the school was renamed the Hessian Higher State Building School . In 1932, the closed Offenbach construction school was integrated into the Darmstadt school. In 1933 it was renamed the State Building School .
State building school in Mainz
In 1936 the Darmstadt State Building School was merged with the State Building School Bingen and the construction department of the Polytechnic in Friedberg and relocated together with the staff to Mainz . At the same time, the school was renamed the Adolf Hitler Building School . In September 1944 the school building in Darmstadt was badly damaged in an air raid, in February 1945 the Adolf Hitler Building School in Mainz was destroyed in an air raid. With that the lessons in Mainz ended.
New beginning in 1946
In May 1946, the reconstruction of the Darmstadt State Building School began in the Round Tower School and other alternative quarters in Darmstadt. Thereafter, teaching was held in the provisionally restored building of the commercial school in Riedeselstrasse and a new building in Neckarstrasse . The school, which has meanwhile been upgraded to a state engineering school, moved into a new building in the engineering center on Schöfferstraße in April 1962 .
In August 1971, the engineering school was integrated into the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences as the architecture and civil engineering departments .
