Royal School for Teachers in Munich
The Royal Circle Teachers' Training Institute at the Spring Street (today Eduard-Schmid-Strasse ) opposite the Deutsche Museum in Munich was from 1908 bis 1943 one of the most impressive school building in the city.
history
In 1907, the Munich building officer and architect Hans Grässel was commissioned to build the Royal Teachers' Seminar on an inconveniently cut, steeply sloping property between Entenbachstrasse, Schwaigerstrasse and Frühlingsstrasse. All classrooms should be kept as far away as possible from the planned tram line on Schwaigerstraße. The construction of the German Museum by Gabriel von Seidl on the other bank of the Isar also had to be taken into account. Grässel overcame these difficulties with an urban and architecturally convincing solution. The school's equipment was also exemplary:
“The building contains a preparation department for 2 times 3 classes, a seminar department also for 2 times 3 classes and a seminar practice school for 8 elementary school classes, plus a gymnasium and festival hall, a natural history room with rising rows of seats, and a teaching rehearsal room with adjustable seats, drawing and modeling rooms, music practice rooms, a school kitchen, a bathtub for poor students, a shower bath for the seminar practice school, as well as the apartments of the director and school servant. "
The German Bauzeitung emphasizes: "One of the most outstanding features of the Grässel'schen school buildings is that a warm, homely breath, which invites you to linger, blows through all rooms compared to the usual barrack-like cold."
The inauguration of the school took place on December 3, 1908. During the First World War , the Maria-Theresia-Kreisrealschule was quartered there. From 1935 to 1943 the building was occupied by the Hans-Schemm- Aufbauchule, a high school in short form with a university entrance qualification for boys and girls. During a bombing raid on June 6th / 7th. September 1943 the building was completely destroyed. The much more modest new building, which the New Real-Gymnasium moved into in 1952, has a floor plan similar to Grässel's plan. The building has been home to the musical Pestalozzi High School since 1965 .
