history

The communities Radebeul (with Serkowitz incorporated in 1905), Oberlößnitz and Kötzschenbroda founded a community association in 1905 after years of negotiations to set up a secondary school with a Progymnasium for the Lößnitz . The Niederlößnitz community also joined this in 1914 . At Easter 1906, lessons began in the old Serkowitz school , while the new school building was being built at the same time.

In 1905, the then retired lawyer Rudolf Curt Steinbach donated the property worth 50,000 marks for the construction of a school. Rudolf Curt Steinbach (January 11, 1828 - November 16, 1905) lived nearby, at Bennostraße 41 ( Steinbach House ) in Oberlößnitz .

The school building is eclectic between historicism ( neo-renaissance , neo-baroque with ornamentation in the neo-empire ) and art nouveau . It was designed by the Dresden architect J. Arthur Bohlig (1879–1975) on behalf of FW Eisold for their competition win . He also designed the plans for the Schiller Grammar School in Bautzen . The Steinbachhaus was built by the Serkowitz master builder Wilhelm Eisold . It was completed in 1907 and was inaugurated on October 7th. The street in front of the house is also named after Steinbach. In 1915 2 more rooms were added to the east wing, which were increased in 1927.

Private individuals participated in the construction of the Steinbachhaus. So were stained glass windows (by Karl May ) and Jahn (today no longer exist by -Orgel Auguste Barth ) donated.

This school was inaugurated almost at the same time as the similar looking Gymnasium Franziskaneum Meißen, 20 kilometers away .

Today the school consists of two building complexes. In 2007, 600 students were taught by 50 educators.

Purpose and name

The name and the function of the building changed several times:
