history

founding

The first efforts to found a school in Nuremberg were made as early as 1924 when an initiative was mentioned in a last conference with Rudolf Steiner and the Stuttgart teaching staff on September 3rd.

After the Second World War , the Rudolf Steiner School Association was formed on May 2, 1946 , and celebrated the founding of the new school on September 7, 1946 in a hall of the Germanic National Museum . Lessons began on the top floor of the Uhland School, which was still damaged by the war, in the gardens behind the Veste district , initially with six classes, which increased to seven classes with 164 students towards the end of the school year.

Own building

After the first construction project for a schoolhouse in Winzelbürgstrasse in St. Jobst failed due to the currency reform in 1947, the city received the heritable building right for the so-called Sonnengarten on Steinplattenweg on the Nuremberg Steinplatte increase in 1948 . Towards the end of the year, a first wooden hut for handicraft lessons can be built on the property. At Christmas a first wooden barracks can be built there for handicraft lessons, before a temporary stone building for the lower school classes was completed in the summer of 1949. The school is one of the 20 founding members of the Association of Independent Waldorf Schools , which met for the first time in Stuttgart in September of the same year.

On April 30, 1951, the first phase of construction of a new school building began; the foundation stone was laid on June 21. With the inauguration of the new building on May 10, 1952, the Uhland School was completely moved out of the house. In 1953, a carpenter's apprenticeship workshop was set up on the site of the former Wolf'sche brickworks in the Ziegelstein district , which was expanded in 1960 to include a machine fitter's workshop. The topping-out ceremony for the second construction phase of the new school building was celebrated as early as August 1954 and shift lessons were ended with its completion, before an open-air stage for 600 spectators was set up in 1955 .

The red house

Kindergarten and extensions

A kindergarten was also set up on October 22, 1956. In addition to a school kitchen, a dining room and a pottery workshop, this took place in the so-called Red House , which was built as part of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Rudolf Kreutzer was given his place to the school.

In 1962 a gymnasium and festival hall with administration rooms is completed and a school library is set up, and on May 15, 1965 new training workshops are inaugurated on the school premises. On July 14, 1968, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated for a new building with 15 classrooms for the lower and middle grades, into which the former makeshift building was completely relocated on June 3, 1969. The makeshift building gave way to a new building for the kindergarten in 1974, which was inaugurated in 1975. On March 9, 1982, the groundbreaking ceremony took place for a new building for the training workshops, which the company moved into on April 26, 1983.

Sponsored schools

The so-called Erlanger bus for students from Erlangen , established in 1954 , counted 130 students in two buses in 1985, so that a first Erlanger class was set up as early as 1984 . From the autumn of 1986, this initially found its place in the building of the Erlangen primary school Brucker Lache with two other new classes , before the sponsorship school received its own school building in 1990. In 1987 and 1988, respectively, two further sponsored schools were opened with the Rudolf Steiner School Ammersee and the Free Waldorf School Coburg . In 1989 the Schwabach initiative also began with an independent class, which led to the establishment of the Wendelstein Waldorf School with its own building on November 2, 1993 . The Erlanger bus was discontinued in the same year.

The new building with ballroom.

New buildings and UNESCO project school

In 1989 the decision was made to build a new building for the upper school. In August 1994 the old upper level building was demolished before the foundation stone was laid on October 15 and the topping-out ceremony for the new building took place on June 23, 1995. The new building was inaugurated on October 3, 1996 as part of the school's 50th anniversary. In 1999 the school was named a collaborating UNESCO project school . In 2005 the previous ballroom was demolished and in 2009 the construction of a new ballroom for up to 500 people, as well as new classrooms and a school kitchen began.
