The Linden Primary School is a primary school in Velten . The school building on Viktoriastrasse and Rathausstrasse was put into use over 100 years ago.

history

Since the school building erected in 1877 on the Anger was too small, the school building on Viktoriastraße was inaugurated in October 1885. Due to the rapidly growing industrial location, it was soon too small and so the second school building was built in 1894. On October 1st of that year, around 460 girls, who were taught in eight classes, moved into the girls' school run by Cantor Deter. From then on, the older building housed the boys. The number of pupils increased rapidly in the following years. In 1896, 582 girls attended this school on Rathausstrasse, who were taught in ten classes. The class frequency, which according to the records was between 41 and 65 students, is easy to read. Opposite the school building of the boys' school, the teacher Otto Ziethen had the villa built at Schulstrasse 3 in 1895 .

In 1903 the rector position was filled by Richard Habermann, in 1904 Gustav Gericke was the longest-serving teacher and headed the school in 1905. In the following years, the school building housed the public library and the community's advanced training school in addition to the school classes. At that time, the community leader Hermann Aurel Zieger, the cantor Gustav Gericke and the local was in the attic with support ceramic industry , the local museum for stove-pottery industry . Gustav Gericke, the first director of the museum, was able to display tiles , sample books, stove decorations, stove models, magazines and specialist literature in twelve rooms .

In 1916 the school building became a barracks and in the boys' school building on Viktoriastraße 28 classes of the boys' and girls' school were trained. It was taught continuously from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., which demanded the utmost from the teaching staff.

In 1918 the schoolhouse could be used again. A change was made because the then rector of the girls 'school had to take over the management of the boys' school. The children moved and now the older building housed the girls' school, which was directed by Rector Haselberger. The school owes much of the handwritten chronicle to him. In 1927 boys 'and girls' schools were subordinated to the rector Zurker and jointly continued as an elementary school.

In 1957, after the GDR was founded, the school was reorganized into a ten-class Polytechnic Oberschule ( POS ). On April 14, 1976, it was named after Richard Ungermann , a communist steel worker who was murdered in Meisnerhof concentration camp on May 16, 1933 .

After the reunification , the school buildings were separated again. The building on Viktoriastraße was declared a comprehensive school and the building on Rathausstraße was declared a primary school. For reasons of space, only classes 4–6 could be taught in the building on Rathausstrasse from the 1991/92 school year. Grades 1–3 were taught on the premises of the secondary school on the new Poststrasse. At the beginning of the 1998/99 school year, the primary school was able to move into both school buildings, and the separation of the primary school has been lifted.

On November 4th, 1998 the school was renamed Linden Primary School Velten .

The Velten communication center was opened on September 9, 2017. It combines a modern new school building, the city library and a large event room for almost 200 people under one roof.
