There was an all-day class in each of the eighth and ninth grades and an intermediate level train for a seventh and two ninth grades. The district of the middle school includes the primary schools of the Melchior-Franck-Volksschule, the Pestalozzi-Volksschule, the Volksschule Coburg-Ketschendorf, the Luther-Volksschule and the Volksschule Coburg-Creidlitz as well as the area of the community Niederfüllbach .
school-building
The school building was built between 1888 and 1890 according to plans by the Coburg city architect Julius Martinet in the style of the Mannerist Neo-Renaissance on a plot of land on the Itz . The facade of the three-and-a-half-storey building is made of bricks with sandstone structures and is closed off by a hipped roof with dwelling houses and turrets . The outer wall of the raised basement floor is made with studs . Above that, the building edges are framed by low-high alternating bands. The ground floor has arched windows with wedge stones and is separated from the first floor by a surrounding strip of cornice , which has rectangular windows with lintel cornices .
The front in Löwenstrasse has a large three-axis risalit in the middle , which is flanked on both sides by two facade sections with four window axes. On the ground floor with banded windows, the sandstone project is designed as Tuscan columns with cuffs and a vase. On the upper floors there are posts between the windows and lintels on brackets above . A triangular roof sits above the cross-frame windows on the second floor. The end of the risalit is formed by a two-axis gable with Ionic columns and a clock gable in the attic .
The back is characterized by a narrow, biaxial central projection with a clock gable and protruding staircases with onion domes and lanterns arranged on both sides. Four steps lead to the segment arch portals, followed by pairs of windows with paneled parapets and finally triangular gables and cornices.
