The building site is enclosed by a wrought iron grid with sandstone pillars. Behind it, in front of the main house, there is a lawn area laid out as a front garden.

school

The listed school building is a large, elongated, three-storey building on a high basement floor and with a high hipped roof . The asymmetrical main view facing Wasastraße with a length of 14 window axes is emphasized on the right-hand side by a side projection . This is three axes wide, the windows in it are made wider. On top there is a neo-baroque stepped gable, behind it there is a high tent roof .

Below the three window axes to the left of the risalit is the Art Nouveau entrance portal, which is slightly protruding on the ground floor: in the center a double-leaf wooden door with a skylight, in the upper half accompanied on both sides by a half-column and a narrow window, resulting in a Palladio motif. The arched inscription was ROSEGGER-SCHULEattached above .

In the fifth window axis from the left, a bay window hangs in front of the upper floors , supported by consoles at the bottom, and closed at the top in front of the roof by a half-timbered gable.

There are short side wings on the back of the building.

The plastered building is divided between the ground floor and the upper floor by a wide cornice, with a narrow sandstone band to the basement. The facade in between is emphasized by plaster grooves . The base and the richly profiled window frames are made of sandstone; this is designed as a curtain arch motif on the ground floor and the second floor . In contrast, it forms horizontal roofs on the first floor . Art Nouveau ornamentation is added to the side elevation and the bay window.

School gym

Gym of the Oberschule Radebeul-Mitte in the Roseggerhaus

The school gymnasium, which is also under monument protection, is to the left of the school building, turned by 90 degrees. As a result, the long side of the rectangular building runs along Oststrasse. The otherwise free-standing building with large rectangular windows and a mansard roof is connected to the school building by a narrow transition.

The entrance consists of a portal with an “elaborate edging made of embossed sandstone”, and there are some buttresses in the side view.

history

A school building has been documented in the village of Kaditz since 1617 , in which, as a church school, the parish, which is also responsible for Serkowitz, teaches not only the Kaditz and Serkowitz children but also those from Pieschen , Trachau , Mickten and Übigau as well as those from Radebeul and the later Oberlößnitzer Flur were. From 1792 there was an additional angle school in Serkowitz for a few years , in which the widow of a tailor taught reading, writing and praying. In 1853, 79 Serkowitz children attended the church school in Kaditz. Since the daily way to school was quite long and the Kaditz school was overloaded with over 300 students, the Serkowitz community took the death by drowning in the Elbe of four children on the way to school as an opportunity to apply for the establishment of their own school district and the construction of their own school .

As early as 1854 Oberlößnitz founded its own school district and built a school with a prayer room in Augustusweg , which was also used for church purposes. Children from the part of Serkowitz north of Meißner Strasse visited this nearby school as guests.

In August 1874 the Royal Ministry of Culture and Public Education approved the construction of this school. In June 1875 the school building at Schulstrasse 7 (today Strasse des Friedens 35) was consecrated and 115 children took possession of their new school. In 1883, 270 children attended this elementary school , of which 166 lived south of the Leipzig – Dresden railway line and 104 north of the railway line (so-called Neuserkowitzers ). In the following period, out of consideration for the running of the school, the public administration refused to add floors to the old school building, while the district doctor refused to create a wing extension due to health concerns. To alleviate the lack of space, a classroom was rented in the local inn in 1891.

In May 1900, the local council decided to build a new school because of the increased number of students. This was built in 1901 based on a design by the Dresden architect Otto Foerster on what was then Ziegelstraße (Wasastraße 21), and the construction was carried out by the construction company "Gebrüder Ziller" . The cost was more than 70,000 marks. With the consecration in May 1902, six classrooms and a drawing room were initially available. As early as 1904, the teacher's apartments on the second floor had to be converted into additional classrooms due to the increased number of students. In 1907 the building was lengthened by four window axes on the left side, which made it possible to gain six more classrooms. At the same time, a school gymnasium was built to the left of the school building, rotated by 90 degrees, which could also be used by sports clubs. The extension and the gym cost a total of 45,000 marks.

After Serkowitz was incorporated into Alt-Radebeul , the Serkowitz elementary school was renamed the 2nd district school , while the school in Radebeul's Pestalozzistraße was renamed the 1st district school . In 1919, when the primary schools were renamed Alt-Radebeul, the school in Serkowitz was also given a name in honor of a personality: It was named after the writer Peter Rosegger (1843-1918).

In 1962, the ten-class Polytechnic Oberschule was renamed German-Titow-Oberschule , after the cosmonaut German Stepanowitsch Titow (1935-2000). From 1965 to the Karl May year 1985, the Karl May Villa served as a day care center for the German Titow High School. In 1986 the school was expanded to include a new Dresden-type slab building .

In 1992 the special school for the learning disabled moved into part of the premises. From 1993 the school was given its previous name back at the instigation of the Rosegger Society .

Until 2004 the school building was then a branch of the Lößnitzgymnasium . In 2004 and 2005, the rooms housed the newly founded free Evangelical elementary school in Radebeul , which is now housed in the building of the former district court in Kötzschenbroda .

After the renovation in 2005/2006, the school took on the Oberlößnitz Middle School , which has been called the Radebeul-Mitte Middle School (in the Roseggerhaus) since then . At the beginning of the 2013/2014 school year, all Saxon middle schools were renamed to Oberschulen .
