The state regular school "Andreas Reyher" is a regular school in Gotha . The listed building of the school was built in 1900 as a community school for boys and girls. The school has always borne the name of the pedagogue Andreas Reyher , who organized the Gotha school system in the 17th century, although the organizational form of the school changed several times. The building currently houses a state mainstream school and a state elementary school that bear Reyher's name.
history
The construction of a school on the corner of Mozartstrasse (formerly Ohrdrufer Strasse) and Reyherstrasse was decided in 1897 by the Gotha city council. The school building and the associated gymnasium were then built in a three-year construction period up to 1900. The school was divided in the middle so that the boys 'school in the west wing and the girls' school in the east wing could be accommodated with separate entrances. The building had 32 classrooms for 60 students each, as well as several rooms for the director, main teacher, teachers' room and teaching material rooms. In the basement there was a bathroom with a shower room and dressing room and in the eastern area the utility rooms used by the household school. There was a caretaker's apartment on the ground floor.
The school was attended by around 1200 to 1400 students annually in the 1930s and well into World War II.
The school building survived the Second World War relatively unscathed, so that school operations were resumed as early as October 1945. In 1952 the school was restructured and the Reyher School was housed in the west wing and a primary school in the east wing. The Reyher School became a ten-class middle school in 1957 . In 1959, the separate schools were reunited to form a ten-class general polytechnic high school , which with almost 1,100 students was the largest POS in the Gotha district. 1966, shared the high school into two independent high schools: POS Reyher I and POS Reyher II. In the case of school reform after reunification the POS Reyher I was used to State Regelschule Mozartstrasse for classes 5-10 and the POS Reyher II to state school Mozartstrasse reshaped . In 1992 the schools were given the name of the Gotha teacher Reyher again.
From 1993 to 1999, extensive renovation measures were carried out on the historic buildings.
