Pestalozzi School (Radebeul)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pestalozzi School is located in the Radebeul district of the Saxon city of Radebeul , at Pestalozzistraße 3 opposite the Radebeul town hall . The school building was built in 1896/1897 according to plans by the architect Carl Käfer and was extensively expanded a little later. For the house 2 of the Lößnitzgymnasium today often Gymnasium Pestalozzistraße is used as a place name.

Pestalozzi School

On the right of the property is the school gym of the Schillerschule , built in 1896 , connected to it by an intermediate building.

On the left of the area there is a massive show garden pavilion built in 1897 , but with its own street address Pestalozzistraße 5.

After the First World War, the school was named in honor of the important school reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827).

description

Town hall and Pestalozzi School, 1908 (SE side). The Zillersche Villa still stands on property no. 4 of the later post office .

There are several buildings on Pestalozzistraße on the north-west of the back of the Schillerschule (Hauptstraße 10) , surrounded by an iron fence with sandstone pillars on the footpath: on the left and thus opposite the town hall is the actual school building of the Pestalozzischule, in front of it the schoolyard on the street . On the right there is a sports field opposite the building of the former Radebeul post office . The sports field is bounded on the right by the school sports hall, which is therefore also on Pestalozzistraße, but is on the same property as the Schillerschule.

school-building

The listed school building is a three-storey building on a basement level , covered with a gently sloping hipped roof .

The transversely oriented street view is divided strictly symmetrically into a three-axis central risalit and two four-axis risalit-like building wings; in between there is a uniaxial, narrow and deep reserve . In the central projection there are three entrance doors above three steps: the left one is labeled with boys , the right with girls . In the arched fields of the windows above there are reliefs on both sides with a learning boy or girl. The arch field in the middle shows a portrait of the pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827). The staircase risalit, the rows of windows each halfway up the rows of floors on the side, is closed off by a row of low windows. Above is a triangular gable with a clock in a medallion, next to it is decorated.

The windows, framed by profiled sandstone walls, are partially closed with a stitch or round arch, some show keystones, some differently designed roofs.

In the right side view there is an Art Nouveau relief, the dating inscription of which points to the expansion of the renovation in 1900.

School gym of the Schillerschule

The listed building of the gym is aligned with its three-axis narrow side towards Pestalozzistraße. The long side is slightly parallel to the back of the Schillerschule building, to which an intermediate building leads. The rectangular gym building is covered by a flattened hipped roof.

The plastered building is structured by pilaster strips , between which there are high, subdivided arched windows each with a keystone. On the facade facing the sports area there are two cartouches , one with the inscription Built and one with the date 1896 .

history

After the Radebeul children had been taught in the local church school in neighboring Kaditz (see also Old School in Kaditz ), Radebeul received its own school district in the 1870s . In 1876 the community purchased a piece of land in what was then Bahnhofstrasse to build their first school building on it.

This was built from 1877; on May 1, 1878, the Radebeul elementary school was inaugurated . In December 1896, the gym behind the school was inaugurated, which had been removed from the tender ten years earlier for cost reasons.

In the same year, the foundation stone was laid for the second elementary school building (today's Pestalozzischule) to be built behind the gym on Pestalozzistraße, which was inaugurated on May 1, 1897. The new school building, designed by Carl Käfer like the gymnasium, and built by the master builder Gustav Röder for 140,000 marks, originally consisted only of the rectangular building at the rear, in front of which the protruding stairwell protruded in the middle of the street. The school had nine classrooms and included a drawing room . It was given the status of a simple elementary school , while the elementary school on Bahnhofstrasse (today Hauptstrasse), which had existed for a long time, was upgraded to a higher elementary school or a community school . The so-called cooking and household school, which was also opened at Easter 1897, was located in the basement next to the caretaker's apartment .

The school building was expanded as early as 1900, when the building company Hörnig & Barth added the side wings protruding forward on both sides. As a result, six more classrooms and a shower room on the ground floor were created for only 5,900 marks. In the same year, next to the town hall built in 1899/1900, a school garden was laid out . In addition to the church school teacher / cantor, nine teachers, three assistant teachers, one assistant teacher and two assistant teachers for female handicrafts, one of whom also gave cooking lessons, were subordinate to the joint directorate of the elementary school director Richard Weise. It was also wise to enable talented pupils from simple elementary schools to switch to the community school free of charge. In 1901 he hired a school doctor.

In February 1901, the Dresden architect Gustav Haenichen , who had also designed the town hall, drafted plans to expand the community school, which were carried out the following year.

After Serkowitz was incorporated in 1905, the primary school was renamed the 1st district school, while the schoolhouse in Serkowitz was renamed the 2nd district school . In 1906, 898 children were taught by 15 teachers in 23 classes in the two elementary schools located next to each other in Alt-Radebeul.

During the First World War, many of the teachers had to go to the front, with the result that numerous classes had to be merged and some classes were canceled.

In December 1919, Weise went into retirement, and the school board decided to separate the schools jointly run under Weise. The younger school was also named after the important pedagogue on the adjacent street, named after Pestalozzi in 1883. The citizen school on Bahnhofstrasse was named after the poet Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805). At Easter 1920 the two elementary schools were institutionally separated. The exemption from school fees was also introduced in 1920.

From 1924 to 1933, the Pestalozzi School operated the municipal culture film stage every two weeks on Mondays as a hall cinema. The institution established by the city council with over 600 seats was headed by the head of the cultural department, Paul Brüll. In 1934/35 the address was moved to Hauptstrasse 17. Between 1931 and 1943 the Radebeul Municipal Library was also located in the Pestalozzi building.

Between 1945 and 1949 the building was probably not available for school purposes. From 1955 the Pestalozzi School was a middle school . Due to an acute lack of space, the lessons were partly in shifts. In addition, the Pestalozzi School received some rooms in the neighboring Schiller School building. From 1958 the Pestalozzi School became a ten-class polytechnic high school ( Pestalozzi High School ).

From 1992 to 2004 there was again a middle school in the premises, which was last run as a branch of the Oberlößnitz middle school .

Since 2004, the premises accommodate as Pestalozzi house the secondary level of the district Serkowitz located Loessnitz school . In the same year the school yard was expanded and the school grounds were redesigned. Although house 2 of the Lößnitzgymnasium, Gymnasium Pestalozzistraße is often used as the place name .

From 2000 to 2014 the school building served as the annual venue for the Radebeul graphics market .
