Ramsin is a district of the town of Sandersdorf-Brehna in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district in Saxony-Anhalt .

geography

The place is located in the western part of the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district and can be easily reached via the federal motorway 9 and the federal highway 100 .

history

Ramsin was first mentioned in 1388 as Robesien. The layout of the site suggests a German village with several exits, side streets and a village green. Ramsin was a rural village until the end of the 19th century. The inhabitants were made up of linen weavers, cloth makers, hofers and craftsmen. When the coal / gravel pits and the chemical works were built around 1900, life in the village also changed. The linen weavers and cloth makers stopped their trade and found new employment.

The Ramsin manor was first mentioned in 1553 as a feudal and manor. The place belonged to the Electoral Saxon Office Bitterfeld until 1815 . The decisions of the Congress of Vienna he came to Prussia and in 1816 the district Bitterfeld in the administrative district of Merseburg of the Province of Saxony assigned to which he belonged until 1944th

Ramsin, Heideloh, Renneritz, Sandersdorf and Zscherndorf came together in 1992 to form the Sandersdorf administrative community. On July 1, 2004 this was dissolved and Ramsin was incorporated into the community-free municipality of Sandersdorf, which was renamed Sandersdorf-Brehna on July 1, 2009 after further incorporations .

Ramsin coat of arms

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on September 16, 1998 by the Dessau Regional Council.

Blazon : “Angled left divided by silver over green; above a diagonally crossed black miner's teeth, below a silver ear. "

The miner's toughness and the ear of wheat represent the two main branches of business, mining and agriculture. The green tinging refers to the natural surroundings of the former municipality.

It was designed by the Magdeburg heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

School history

Until the end of the 16th century it was customary for an intelligent craftsman, tailor, shoemaker, etc. to teach the village children to read and write more poorly than right at home, but that changed in 1610 when Joachim von Hoyer, the owner of the manor at the time built the first school in Ramsin. It was a simple mud house on the corner of Mittelstrasse and Heideloher Strasse. (Since 2007: "An den Linden"), known to the Ramsin people as "Eckschmidts-Haus". The building lasted for several centuries and was only demolished in the second half of the previous century. The first teacher at this school was Erasmus Faust.

Due to the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War , Ramsin was attacked and almost completely burned down, the few inhabitants totally impoverished, schooling was out of the question for a long time.

From 1808 to 1819, the children's teacher Friedrich from Köckern worked in the one-class school in Ramsin, at the same time as an organist. He was followed by the catechist from Thalheim Gottfried Schulze. After his death in 1838 Gustav Theodor Geleitsmann was given the job of schoolmaster. Against considerable resistance from his parents, he introduced handicraft lessons. In the school chronicle it reads like this: " The community has shown great contradictions, the reluctant parents only submitted after repeated threats of punishment ". The teacher Geleitsmann held his office until April 1, 1883.

Now the vicar Gustav Thurm was appointed, but he was removed from his office on March 18, 1886 due to moral offenses. The representatives changed at short notice until the end of September. It was not until October 1, 1886 that the previous teacher in Gollma, Arno Thurm, was given the position of school and sexton. He started with 154 children (!). His work ended in November 1893. On December 1, 1893, the teacher Kirsten from Reinsdorf Kreis Nebra took up the position of school and sexton.

The subsequent school was built in 1837, now on the left side of the courtyard of the “parish office” in Hauptstrasse (since 2007 “at the church”). This clay building with the gable facing the street cost 177 thalers, 25 silver groschen and 4 pfennigs. Because the teacher was also doing agriculture at the time, a school barn made of clay was built on the right side of the courtyard in 1845. For this purpose, a strip of land had to be bought from neighbor Hennicke for 9 thalers beforehand. The teacher was then called a cantor because he was also the organist in the church. The so-called Kantorfeld in Gartenstrasse was available to him for cultivation. (The later use is described below.) From 1886 the cantor leased the field and collected the rent as additional income. In addition to the income already described, he was also entitled to goods in kind, e.g. B. Easter grain, Easter cake, Michaelis cake. It was also common for the cantor to sing singing with the pupils at New Year's and Easter; these were abolished in 1879 by the community meeting without compensation.

In 1872 the third school was built in the garden of the existing school. The location was the municipal office building that had existed until modern times. It was built as a brick building and consisted of a classroom and a teacher's apartment. The old school building was torn down, a gymnastics and playground was set up at this point in 1887, bars and bars were set up.

In 1887 the municipality of Ramsin rejected an order from the provincial government to build a new school "because of poverty" and asked for a delay. In 1887 the Ramsiner and Renneritzer children had to run to Roitzsch for confirmation classes four times a month. (At that time Ramsin belonged to the parish of Roitzsch) The industrialization of the Bitterfeld region also resulted in a growing population for Ramsin and Renneritz and, as a result, larger numbers of students. Ten or more children per family were by no means uncommon back then.

The church and school association (Ramsin, Renneritz, Rittergut), which had now been founded, decided in 1896 to build a larger school. The 4th school was built on Renneritzer Strasse. The required area of ​​1¼ acres (3125 m²) was bought from the landowner Gustav Hirsch for 2000 marks. The new school building with. Farm buildings and a well were estimated at 20,500 marks. After the laying of the foundation stone on July 17, 1896, the inauguration took place on October 10, 1897! With the inauguration came a second teacher, Mr. Benno Kretzschmann. 176 children were to be taught. Unfortunately, this teacher also became a criminal offense, so that on April 11, 1900 he was judged by the Halle / S district court for rape in four cases. Was sentenced to one and a half years in prison.

Because the number of students kept increasing, more rooms had to be created for classes. As a temporary solution, new school desks were made by master carpenter Grube, Ramsin, Gräfe and Renneritz and brought into the existing school. The old benches were used in the dance hall of the Greif restaurant in Renneritz for lessons. Some of the Ramsin students went to school in Renneritz. The teaching position was given to the teacher R. Koch.

In the spring of 1899 an epidemic of scarlet fever and diphtheria broke out. 23 children died in a short time, three children each in the houses in Jaenicke and Spletter.

On October 27, 1911, work began on expanding the 1-class school to four classes and adding three teacher's apartments with hot water heating and a shower room. Outside abortions, farm buildings and a new well were planned for the school. Classes continued to be held during construction:

  • in the restaurant room Reif (Renneritz) by teacher Koch,
  • in the restaurant Laskosky (Ramsin) room by teacher Gießemann,
  • in the previous school class by main teacher Kirsten.

The following were built or rebuilt:

  • Four classrooms with 57 m² each
  • 1 staff room with 47 m² on the 1st floor
  • 2 corridors of 47 m² each.

In addition, there was central heating and five showers in the school basement. Chestnuts were planted on the edge of the schoolyard.

Despite the fact that construction work was suspended from January 9, 1912 to February 12, 1912 due to severe frost, the first three classes could be occupied on July 1, 1912. Acceptance of the entire building took place on October 8, 1912. A nice achievement if you consider that this short construction period was carried out with “stone on stone” without today's technology. But it should only pass around 20 years before the fact was again: “ A second school is needed. "

For the 5th school building, the area in Gartenstrasse was "the cantor field" and the field of landowner Hauenstein between Ramsin and Renneritz (today the site of the doctor's practice Dr. Fischer). But because the building land was supposed to cost 20,000 marks, it was decided to build on the cantor field if possible. Here, however, it turned out that the ownership structure between the congregation and the parish had been unclear for a long time, so the decision dragged on for a year. Finally, on January 12, 1931, it was possible to convene a committee that was to make a binding decision. 13 personalities took part for the parish, including Pastors Ehle, Roitzsch and Konsistorial-Assessor Zöbe, Magdeburg, for the municipality 23 people, including District Administrator Stammer, Bitterfeld and Head of the District Lützner, Ramsin, Schulrat Zinke, Bitterfeld, Rector Pöschel, Ramsin, 3 ( !) Government Building Councilors, Merseburg.

This committee stipulated: 1. The Ramsin-Renneritz School Association will receive 8 acres (20,000 m²) from the “Kantorfeld”, bounded by Heideloher Strasse and Gartenstrasse. The rear larger part remains with the parish. 2. A teacher receives an apartment in the Renneritzer Strasse school for his (part-time) church activity. 3. The parish receives existing securities. 4. With effect from April 1, 1931, the school office and the church office are separated. From April 1, 1931, the school association and the parish are separate institutions. The settlement required the approval of the consistory and the provincial government.

The school situation in 1930–1931 was as follows: 1930: 256 students. Teachers: Rector Pöschel, teacher Müller, teacher Fritz Zimmer, teacher Georg Schmidt, teacher and church official. The teacher Karl Zimmermann, who had been working since December 1919, left the company on March 31, 1930 and took over a position in Zscherndorf. Four classrooms were available. 1931: 288 students, 74 of them from Renneritz.

From September to December the students suffered from an epidemic of illness. At times, 60 to 70 pupils suffered from diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough, so that the entire school had to be closed for three weeks after the autumn break.

Construction of the school in Gartenstrasse has now started. A four-class school with a staff room was planned; Due to a lack of funds, a two-class building was initially started on the ground floor, which was handed over on August 2, 1933. Between the start of construction and the inauguration of the school, a new state had emerged. This also had an impact on the inauguration celebrations. The school chronicle reports:

“On August 2nd, the ceremonial inauguration took place with the participation of Schulrat Zinke, District Administrator Habild, Government Construction Manager Koehler, Gau Schulamtsleiter Prager, Mayor Schmeil, Pastor Ehle and Master Builder Voigt. With the advance of the SA group Sandersdorf and the Ramsin warrior club, the gathered people moved from the school yard to the fairground, where the keys were handed over to the (Ramsin) rector Pöschel. After singing and poetry, Rector Pöschel gave the opening address for the new school. He thanked everyone involved in the construction, especially the new government, for the financial support without which the construction could not have been carried out. Passing on the naming, he read out a letter from the Reich Chancellery, according to which the Reich Chancellor personally agrees that the newly built school in Ramsin should be named “Adolf Hitler School”. ”On September 6, 1933, the Philipp Holzmann, Bitterfeld, places the order to provide Gartenstrasse with a concrete roadway for 9777 Reichsmarks. Today, after 78 years, it can still be used.

From autumn 1933 the "German greeting" was decreed for schools. The newspaper article from the "Fränkische Zeitung" in Nuremberg shows that this was done with "German thoroughness":

In 1934 it was decreed for the first time that some of the school leavers had to complete a country year.

The schoolchildren will perform “Wilhelm Tell” on March 9, 11 and 13 in the hall of the Brautzsch restaurant. The stage equipment had been created by teacher Zimmer, the practice of the play was in the hands of teacher Schmidt. Of the net income, RM 30 were donated to “Winter Aid”, and a camera was bought for RM 78.50.

When Reich President von Hindenburg died on August 2, 1934, the Ramsin School also took an active part. From August 2 to 7, the bells rang from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. The funeral ceremonies on August 7th in Tannenberg were listened to by the upper classes on the radio. Teachers and officials mourned for 14 days.

After the autumn break of 1934, the “Reich Youth Day” was introduced. The 33 boys and 43 girls in the upper classes now received two hours of “national political lessons” and two hours of “physical exercises” and handicrafts each on Saturday.

On November 1, 1934, 244 Ramsin children and 84 children from Renneritz attend the Ramsin school. Except for six children who belong to the Catholic faith, all are Protestant. After general conscription was introduced in March 1935, compulsory labor service was announced a few months later for all Germans of both sexes between the ages of 18 and 25. For 6 months they had to do activities for the general public. On September 24, 1935, the “youth workers” were appointed at the parents 'evening to replace the previous parents' council. Then the parents were informed "about the education and the goals of the Hitler Youth". On April 15, 1936, 20 boys and 24 girls started school. There are now a total of 323 children in Ramsin's school.

On September 5, 1936, Rector Pöschel, who had been active since November 1, 1928, died on a school excursion (with bicycles!) With the upper two classes as a result of a heart failure. He fell off his bike in front of the Gertraudenfriedhof in Halle (S.). He was succeeded by Max Klapproth as main teacher, from April 1, 1940 as rector.

The first cut in the supply, which unfortunately also affected the children to a considerable extent, took place in autumn 1936. The butter was rationed and "butter stamps" were issued.

On the orders of the district doctor, the school had to be closed from December 8th to 15th, 1936 because a third of the children were infected with flu.

On April 7, 1937, 44 children started school. There are now six teachers teaching 330 children. In the eighth grade, math lessons culminated in rooting according to arithmetic methods, in the subject German had to be learned by heart until Schiller's “Lied von der Glocke” was left school. When 34 students finished school on Easter 1938, it was no longer possible to make a decision about their choice of career. Apprenticeships are now placed exclusively through the employment office.

In September 1938 the school on Renneritzer Strasse was partially confiscated. It was occupied with a unit of the anti-aircraft troops, which were on alert in the event that war broke out because the Sudetenland was occupied.

The attack on Poland on September 1, 1939 was so well organized that on August 27, 1939 the obligation to purchase food, textiles and coal was ordered. The recipients of these coupons were divided into 50 (!) Categories. On August 30, 1939, well over 50 male residents were called up, including Rector Klapproth and teacher Schmidt. On September 2nd, the obligation to darken - also for bicycles - is introduced, and listening to "enemy transmitters" is made a criminal offense. From September 4th, all dancing pleasure will be banned, private cars are no longer allowed to drive. Some residents are required to hand over their cars to the Wehrmacht in Leipzig.

By order of the Reich government, teaching was interrupted throughout the Reich and only resumed weeks later when it was clear that attacks by enemy aircraft were not to be feared. Although the preparations for war initially appeared well-organized, the following winter set the first limits to the war economy. The extremely harsh winter of 1939/1940 brought about a long break in lessons. The Renneritzer Strasse school building could no longer be heated because coke was not delivered and the existing coke was confiscated for “vital businesses”. Lessons now took place for 309 students by the hour in two classes at the garden school. When the briquettes came to an end there, too, classes were completely suspended until Easter.

Makeshift air raid shelters were created in both schools. That was urgently needed, because after France surrendered on June 22, 1940 and England entered the war, English fighter planes also fly over our area. The nocturnal air raid alarms make it necessary to create a regulation for the school according to air raid alarm nights.

The schoolchildren collect chestnuts in the school yard and deliver them to the collection points. In the spring of 1941, the distribution of “Cebion sugar tablets” to schoolchildren from the age of 10 is continued in order to avoid diseases caused by a lack of fruit and vegetables.

When the teacher Burghardt was drafted into the Wehrmacht on March 4, 1941, there were only four teachers at the school for 311 students. In June, teacher Schmidt comes back. In the summer of 1941, the students carried out a collection of medicinal herbs and farmed silkworms (!). This should make a contribution to the production of parachute silk.

After the departure of teacher Lehrmann due to illness and teacher Arens, 288 pupils were taught by only four teachers in 1942. At the beginning of 1943, the Reich government decreed that all men between the ages of 16 and 65 and all women between the ages of 17 and 43 must register for “ Reich Defense Duties ”. As a result, a day-care center had to be set up in a hurry at the school in Gartenstrasse to accommodate the children of the mothers who were now obliged to serve. This had to be relocated to the half-finished youth home in December 1943 because a flak unit had to be housed in the garden school.

On June 26, 1943, a police ordinance was issued: " Young people under the age of 16 are forbidden to stay outdoors in the dark. 16 to 18-year-olds are not allowed to stay in restaurants or in the cinema after 9 p.m. without an adult ."

At the end of 1943, targeted electricity cuts were made in order not to have to disrupt production in the war industry. On February 28, 1944, the sale of two lemons to children up to six years of age was ordered. Despite the limited classrooms, teaching was made even more difficult. With the advance of the Soviet Army in the direction of East Prussia, more than 300 people arrived in Ramsin-Renneritz from there in mid-1944. These were exclusively Berliners who had been evacuated there because of the intensive air raids on Berlin. The result was that another 130 children had to be admitted. In October 1944, another 300 people with 63 school children came, mainly from Cologne. On November 1st, 1944, the Ramsin School had 454 students! But that shouldn't be all. As the front moved closer, we were reached by treks from the eastern regions, 91 children were added, although 45 children from Cologne left with their parents.

American troops reached Ramzin on April 17th. Lessons had previously been suspended. Lessons did not begin again until October 1, 1945, now from a completely different point of view. After the Americans withdrew on July 2, 1945, the Soviet occupying forces took over our area.

The previous rector, Klapproth, was dismissed on August 2, 1945; his further fate is unknown. On August 6, 1945, the provisional school councilor Selle in Bitterfeld installed the teacher Zimmer as the deputy headmaster. His first task was to arrange the thorough cleaning and repair of the rooms, which resulted from the occupation of American troops, refugees and displaced persons. The previous four teachers were replaced by new teachers by the end of 1945. The time of the new teachers began.

From April 1, 1946, by order of the Soviet occupying power, Russian lessons are to be held for students in grades five to eight. Since there is no Russian teacher, the teachers Zimmer, Schmidt and Burghardt take part in crash courses. This task is later taken over by Mr. Birkholz. On the night of April 8th to 9th, 1946, 1000 (!) Forced laborers had to be accommodated for the dismantling of the Thalheim power plant without prior notice. School operations immediately ceased. Before lessons were resumed on April 13, 1946, a general cleaning had to be carried out again. Newcomers from Czechoslovakia again increase the number of students. From 1946 a new school year begins at the beginning of September. The school is now a seven-class elementary school, from 1948 eight-class. The school kindergarten for the five-year-old children is set up in the youth home.

In 1950, "holiday care" for schoolchildren was introduced during the summer holidays. Among other things, trips to Thuringia and hikes through the Dübener Heide, the Saale valley near Naumburg, Suhl and Eisenach were organized. In the mid-1950s, the ten-class polytechnic high schools began to be built. In the years 1957 to 1961 the majority of the pupils attended the ninth and tenth grades at the middle school in Sandersdorf and Zscherndorf. At the beginning of the school year 1959/60, the Ramsin school became a “10-class polytechnic high school”. From the 1957/58 school year, children from Ramsin-Renneritz were also taught children from Glebitzsch, Köckern, Beyersdorf and Juliushof from the seventh grade onwards. The transition period until ten classes were fully taught took several years. At the end of the 1962/63 school year, the first tenth grade passed the secondary school leaving examination. From 1950 to 1958 the school became known beyond the district boundaries for its school choir and the instrumental group.

The chess group provided district and district masters. Further working groups will be formed over time. In 1958 the “day of instruction in socialist production” is introduced. For the students this took place in the pipe works in Bitterfeld. In the 50s, the "youth consecration period" began.

In 1964 the school was named "Polytechnische Oberschule Franz Weise". The Renneritzer Franz Weise was under the regime of the Third Reich in a concentration camp and later died of the consequences of internment. In 1964 there were only a total of six classrooms in both school buildings, outside toilets, very limited spatial requirements for teaching according to the new requirements, and gymnastics lessons took place in the hall of the Brautzsch restaurant. The then director Helmut Jänicke accompanied the extension of the garden school with great personal commitment from 1964 to 1966. The school building was completely modernized. There were now six classrooms, a large gym with equipment room, a workroom with 16 places, indoor toilets for boys and girls, rooms for the school management and teachers. At the beginning of the school year 1966, it was enforced in the garden school that the pupils in grades five to ten had to wear slippers in the building, which was unique in the Bitterfeld district. The work room was also used for fourth grade, as was the gym.

Since the introduction of school meals, food has always been prepared in the school kitchen in the youth home. We ate in the Laskosky restaurant. The dining room set up on Renneritzer Strasse in the 1970s meant that more and more students took part in the school lunch. Therefore the kitchen was modernized with large kitchen appliances. From 1974, extensive repair and modernization work was also carried out in Renneritzer Strasse. carried out.

With the political change in 1989, the school system of the FRG was introduced for the area of ​​the GDR and at the end of the school year 1990/91 the 10-class school was dissolved. The pupils in the fifth to tenth grades were now taught in Zscherndorf. Ramsin was now only elementary school (grades 1 to 4). First the school on Renneritzer Strasse was closed, then privatized in 1998 and converted into apartments.

Classes in the garden school ended in 1999. In the meantime, it was used as a temporary measure during the redesign of the kindergarten in the current community center. As of January 2012, the school and the premises are offered for sale. The Ramsiner and Renneritzer students now attend the primary school in Zscherndorf (grades 1 to 4), from the fifth grade up to the tenth grade either the Realschule in Roitzsch or the grammar school in Bitterfeld.

This ends almost 500 years of school history by Ramsin (now part of the town of Sandersdorf-Brehna).
