history
In the last quarter of the 19th century, the mixed middle school on Detmold's market square slowly became too small. It was therefore decided to build a new school building and at the same time to separate the boys 'and girls' schools. The building decision was made on June 30, 1884 and envisaged a building with seven classrooms for around 70 pupils each as well as conference rooms and teacher's apartments. In August of the same year there was a public tender, which the architect Wilhelm Priester was able to win in October 1885. The priest was also given construction management responsibility. On September 19, 1886, the Detmold city building authority issued the building permit, but the start of construction was delayed due to objections by the princely consortium on the one hand and by citizens, for whom the new school seemed too remote. The then chairman of the school board of the Detmold Citizens School, the secret judicial councilor Albrecht Busse (1842–1920), was finally able to prevail, and so the contract was awarded in March 1887 and construction began on September 18, 1887. After a little more than two years of construction, the so-called Girls Citizens' School was completed in January 1889. An invoice in 1890 showed that the total costs of 62,578.01 marks were around nine percent above the planned budget. At the start of school, the school consisted of five classes with the same number of teachers who taught 343 students.
In 1914 the school was no longer an all girls' school, and boys were also taught in the two lowest classes. A first renovation took place in 1920, a quarry stone wall was added to the east wing for additional classrooms. In 1926 there was another shortage of space, and so it was decided to extend the building further, this time to the west, with new work and classrooms, toilets, a conference room and a caretaker's apartment on the top floor. Planning and construction management were the responsibility of the Lippe Chief Inspector Adolf Stamm. This extension was inaugurated on September 19, 1927.
At the request of the teaching staff, the school in October 1958 following a decision by the Council of the city of Detmold was named in honor of the former Lippe Princess in Pauline school renamed.
In 1968 the primary school was converted into a secondary school.
At the beginning of the 1980/81 school year, the Paulinenschule was relocated to the new Detmold-Mitte school center, and the Detmold judiciary moved into the previous building in Richtstrasse.
After the introduction of the comprehensive school in the mid-1980s, the number of pupils at the secondary school dropped significantly, so that no new classes were formed from 1986 onwards. The end of the Pauline School was thus sealed.
architecture
The original building is a stretched two-storey solid construction with a gabled central projection . The façade facing the court street is influenced by French neo-renaissance forms, on the upper floor with continuous pilasters.
The extension from 1927 shows typical architectural decorations of the 1920s. The colored interior design was carried out by the Detmold painter Walter Kramme (1888–1949). In the stairwell there are two sculptures by the sculptor Bernhard Carl Ewerbeck (1866–1961) from Brake: “Wisent” and “Hippopotamus with Young”.
