The Münchhausen Elementary School (proper spelling: Münchhausen Elementary School ; ) is a state elementary school in the Berlin district of Reinickendorf in the Waidmannslust district with an open all-day offer. In the beginning of school there are multi-year learning groups. The main building was completed in 1901 and is a listed building.
history
Until 1910 the Waidmannsluster fire station was located in the building of today's school . In 1911 the primary school moved in.
In West Berlin times, the school was called 19G (19th elementary school). In 1971, all schools that only had numbers as a label were asked to choose a name. There were suggestions like Waidmannsluster Elementary School or Artemis Elementary School. But these proposals were rejected by the district. After all, the school was to be named after the late politician Fritz Erler . The school did not want this name, however, because it was not yet possible to explain such a thing to young elementary school children. When a school in Reinickendorf-Ost was allowed to take the name Till Eulenspiegel , the school suggested the name Münchhausen .
In 2001 the centenary was celebrated.
building
Main complex
The main building, in which grades three to six are accommodated, consists of three floors and is a brick building in the style of historicism . There is a main courtyard, a sports field, a playground and a courtyard section with balancing beams. The sports field has two large soccer goals and four basketball hoops. The floor consists of red in- situ floor . There are three table tennis tables in the main courtyard. The floor is made of plaster . The playground has a slide , two climbing frames , a climbing wall and a suspension bridge about two meters long . The house was designed by the architect Emil Bopst on behalf of the Lübars rural community , and August Seeger carried out the execution in 1901. In a second construction phase, the school was expanded by a wing from 1936 to 1937 by the Reinickendorf Building and Settlement Office under the leadership of the architect Haase. The building is a rectangle oriented in a north-west-south-east direction, at the south-east end of which the 1930s extension, perpendicular to the main wing, is attached. The outbuilding, also completed in 1901, which delimits the schoolyard opposite the main wing, houses a gym , a school station and several specialist rooms.
branch
There is a branch in the Cité Foch that accommodates two welcome classes and grades one and two. This building was built as the Saint-Exupéry preschool for the French armed forces and their families and was used until 1994. When the armed forces withdrew, it was taken over by the Reinickendorfer Schulamt as a branch of the Münchhausen primary school. It is a low-rise building from the 1970s, the architecture of which has been adapted to the needs of the younger grades.
