history
After several years in which the educational support of the mentally handicapped did not take place in a separate institution, but only "attached" to the school for the learning disabled (Schule am Teichgarten), the new building on Lindener Strasse was named "Schule Zeughausstrasse" in September 1976 “Inaugurated. This makes it the first school exclusively for students with intellectual disabilities in the Wolfenbüttel district. At the beginning, six teachers taught 66 students in six classes under the direction of Paula Maria Kolle-Söchtig.
The student body increased and changed: While in the first few years the students with their performance profile were more likely to be assigned to the border area of learning disabilities, over time the number of students with intellectual disabilities, including the severely and multiply disabled, for whom there was previously none, grew had given an official educational offer.
These changes resulted in new necessities:
- The class sizes have been reduced to allow individual support.
- The first special education teachers with special training for teaching the mentally handicapped came to the school.
- Pedagogues were used to support the teaching work.
- Physiotherapy and occupational therapy therapists were hired to supplement the lessons with more intensive support for children with special problems.
- On the basis of new concepts, the conventional teaching material was supplemented and further developed by or through materials that specifically introduced special educational knowledge and developments into the classroom.
- In 1996 it was converted into an all-day school. As a result, classes lasted until 2:45 p.m. four days a week, including lunch together. In the afternoons, working groups were set up on two days to supplement the class lessons with voluntarily selected inclination offers.
In 1996, a new extension was moved into which, in addition to classrooms, therapy and work rooms, also contains a large kitchen with a dining area, a therapy bathroom and a music room.
On the occasion of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary, the school was given a new name: Peter-Räuber-Schule after a former student.
In 2016, the area of the Peter-Räuber-Schule was twice the size of its initial period and was attended by twice as many students as at the beginning.
