background

The Marien School was built between 1887 and 1889 and originally served as St. Marien Girls' School I, which apparently began operating on October 8, 1889 and was, at least initially, still under church supervision.

It is believed that the plans for the building came from the city building officer Otto Fielitz , who planned various school buildings in the city. The neo-Gothic brick building, primarily made of red bricks, was placed in the southeast corner of the Marienkirchhof, and there is also a connecting path near the Nordermarkt . The school was given the address Marienkirchof 2/3 according to its location. The classrooms each have four windows facing the churchyard , which today only exists as a paved parking lot. The L-shaped building is adjoined in the north by the double pastorate, Marienkirchhof 4/5 from 1896, also a red brick building. In the period before 1900, many similar red brick buildings in the neo-Gothic style were erected in Flensburg, for example the Hansen merchant's house , not far from the school.

In the period after the Second World War there was initially an elementary school for girls. The building has been used as a music school since the 1980s at the latest. The Marien-Schule serves today as the main building of the music school. Most of the instrumental lessons take place there, as well as ballet, courses and workshops. Concerts are also given there. In other Flensburg schools, there are often additional music lessons that take place in cooperation with the music school, for example at the Käte-Lassen School in Flensburg . The music school also belongs to the Association of German Music Schools .
