The arts and crafts school (also known as hill school ) was a arts and crafts school in the Thuringian capital of Erfurt . It was based in the school building Am Hügel 1 in the north of the old town. Today's teaching building 3 of the University of Erfurt houses the art and music departments of the educational science faculty.

history

The state-municipal craft and arts and crafts school was founded in 1898. It was initially housed in Talstrasse and was given its own building at its current location in 1904/05. It was built according to plans by Paul Peters , Max Brockert and Otto Linne (outdoor facilities) in a functional Art Nouveau style . The construction costs were around 230,000 marks. In 1944, the building was damaged in an air raid, which mainly resulted in the loss of facade decorations that were not later replaced.

The School of Applied Arts was transferred to the Technical School for Applied Arts in 1946 , which in turn became part of the Erfurt University of Education in 1955 and with it part of the University of Erfurt in 2001. From 1997 to 2012 the Max-Weber-Kolleg was also located in the building of the School of Applied Arts before it moved to the vicinity of the university campus in September 2012.
