history

As early as the 14th century there was a school building on Katharinenkirchplatz in Brandenburger Neustadt . The Katharinenschule was first mentioned directly in 1386, although a schoolmaster has been handed down since 1330 at the latest. The Katharinenschule was under the patronage of the New Town Council. From 1570 to 1574 a new renaissance building was erected on the site of the Katharinenschule , which, with its dwelling houses and a stair tower, was considered one of the most beautiful school buildings in the Mark Brandenburg . In 1784 the building was demolished and from 1796 to 1797 the new school of scholars was built on its foundation walls .

As early as 1797, the New Town School of Scholars was merged with the Saldria on Gotthardtkirchplatz , the school of scholars in the old town . The lower classes were taught in the old town, the upper classes in the new town. A year later, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. the school to a high school . The united high school of the old and new town existed until 1817. As a result, it was again an independent gymnasium, and in 1903 it was merged again. The grammar school was attached to the Saldria at their school building at Salzhof, which they moved into in 1867 . The school building on Katharinenkirchplatz housed an auxiliary school from 1904 to 1907 and then a humanistic grammar school until 1921 . Subsequently, the city ​​administration used the house as a registry office and secular school with mixed classes and without religious instruction. In 1933, the district leadership of the NSDAP moved into the representative school building. After the Second World War , a special school was housed in the school of scholars in 1945 . The school administration office followed and finally the registry office again as users.
