history

II. Community school Mariendorf

On March 4, 1902, classes officially began at the II. Community School in Mariendorf near Berlin. Boys and girls took part in classes together, with rooms in various Mariendorf school buildings being used in the first year. It was not until the spring of 1903 that the new Art Nouveau school building for the Second Community School in Mariendorfer Ackerstraße 2-4 was completed and it was possible to move into. In 1906 Ackerstraße was renamed Königstraße and the school got its current address.

7. Berlin-Tempelhof elementary school

When Greater Berlin was formed in 1920, the 2nd Mariendorf Community School became the 7th Berlin-Tempelhof Elementary School . Large parts of the school building and the gymnasium were destroyed during the Second World War . As of 1955, the abandoned west wing was replaced as an extension to the historic building in the style of post-war modernism , and a later monument protection was forfeited. When it was completed in 1956, the school was named after the famous Berlin zoo director Ludwig Heck .

Ludwig Heck Primary School

In 1958, the Berlin Senate approved a three-year model test for all-day care on the initiative of the Tempelhof District School Council Carl-Heinz Evers and the Rector of the Ludwig-Heck-Elementary School, Wilhelm Jung. The aim was to replace the lack of parental care through all-day lessons with educational support for so-called " key children " and to positively influence the performance and behavior of the students through afternoon activities. As a result, 160 pupils at the Ludwig Heck primary school were looked after and provided with food in the afternoon. The experiment was finally canceled in 1961 because the school's facilities did not meet the requirements and, due to the voluntary participation, the demand fluctuated permanently and unpredictably.

In 1970 a two-storey gymnasium was built, followed by a separate new building with nine classrooms and six adjoining rooms in 1972. The old building was completely renovated in 1983. After the fall of the Berlin Wall , contacts were made in 1989 and joint events were held with the 17th primary school in Berlin-Lichtenberg. In 1994 the Friends and Supporters of the Ludwig-Heck-Grundschule e. V. founded.

Jutta Kaddatz came from the Nahariya elementary school in Lichtenrade in 1990 as vice-principal at the Ludwig Heck elementary school. In 1997 she moved to the neighboring and reopened Schätzelberg Elementary School , to which some students were redistributed due to the lack of space. From 2004 Jutta Kaddatz was head of the after-school care project group in the Senate Education Administration for the implementation of all-day operations at elementary and special schools.

The 100th anniversary of the primary school was celebrated in 2002 with a big game festival. As part of the relocation of the after-school care center to the schools since 2005, the Ludwig Heck School had to give up classrooms to the leisure area, which led to a massive shortage of space. In July 2007, the redesign of the school yard in front of the old building began. It was unsealed by an artificial mountain along with a climbing wall and slide . The inauguration took place on April 8, 2008. In the school year 2010/2011, the connecting wing to the neighboring Hermann-Köhl-Oberschule, which was closed in 2009, was rebuilt for the care of the older children. On June 2, 2012, the school celebrated its centenary at a large summer festival.

In October 2013, Sibylle Kähler-Schubert replaced the long-time headmaster who was retiring. Since it had become known in the meantime that the school's namesake was a staunch protagonist of the Nazi regime , she tried to get a name change from the school authorities together with a parents' initiative from 2014.

As a result of the increasing shortage of space, the school's capacity was permanently limited to two-and-a-half units and the fourth grade was moved to the adjoining secondary school building for a while. As of 2016, as part of the Berlin school building campaign, the Senate began planning its subsequent use as an extension of the primary school. Twelve million euros have been budgeted for this.

Mascha Kaléko primary school

In an open letter to the Berlin House of Representatives in 2017, Wolfram Kastner from the Munich Institute for Art and Research and Colin Goldner from the Forum Critical Psychology , both advisory boards of the Giordano Bruno Foundation , demanded the renaming of the Ludwig Heck elementary school. This led to broader media coverage and the parliamentary groups of the SPD and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen applied for a corresponding name change in the district council meeting (BVV) Tempelhof-Schöneberg that same year . The Greens also demanded the installation of a notice board about the Nazi past of the previous namesake and the clarification of the question of why a person with such a past was allowed to be the namesake of a primary school for decades since 1956 . As a result, the name change was approved by all district authorities and the school administration and the school management named the school after the poet Mascha Kaléko on June 7, 2018, the 111th birthday of the new namesake, after intensive discussion in the school conference . At the same time as the renaming, the former head of the Wilma-Rudolph-Oberschule , Hans-Günther Bauer, took over the management of the Mascha-Kaléko-Grundschule from Sibylle Kähler-Schubert for the 2018/2019 school year. Keith Zimmermann has been the head of the school since February 2020.
