history

Possibly the Premonstratensian settlement was on the site of the school building around 1147 , which later became the cathedral chapter of the Brandenburg diocese . In 1461, a bishop's court was set up on the site by Bishop Dietrich von Stechow . Although located in the old town of Brandenburg , this was not under the jurisdiction of the city council and served as quarters for the Bishop of Brandenburg, who otherwise resided in Ziesar . The main building is said to have been a three-story brick building and to have had a chapel , a bathing room and two halls. The cellar vaults have been preserved from this building . A coat of arms of Dietrich von Stechow from the chapel was later placed in the St. Gotthardt Church , the neighboring main church in the old town.

After the episcopal possessions went to the Elector of Brandenburg in the course of the Reformation , some of them were divided up among officials. So in 1561 the system first came to the electoral cupbearer Wichard von Bardeleben . Six years later, the electoral chief chamberlain, Matthias von Saldern, bought the former bishop's court from the proceeds of his wife's sale. The courtyard was expanded into a town seat. After Matthias died of Saldern, his widow suitable Gertrude of Saldern , nee von Hake , who had erstreiten their heritage court, the mediation of the mayor Simon Red 1589 "Hauss unndt hope to fire Burgk" of the city to accommodate a Latin school . This has since been called Saldria . In addition to mainly noble children, some poor children were also taught at the school. In the following two years, the master builder Mertennah carried out extensive renovations and extensions. The school opened in 1591.

Before the Thirty Years War , the school with 400 students and well-known teachers in the Mark Brandenburg is said to have been outstanding. In 1715 a side building was built in the courtyard. This contained apartments for porters and foreign students and some classrooms. In 1797 the Saldria was merged with the Neustadt scholars' school to form the United Gymnasium of the Old and New Town due to falling student numbers . Only the lower school classes were taught at Gotthardtkirchplatz. From 1799 to 1801 the new main building was erected on Gotthardtkirchplatz, incorporating older structures. In 1817 the United Gymnasium was dissolved again. At that time, the Saldria was the old town middle school in the sense of a secondary school . After the move to a new Saldria building at Salzhof in 1867, the school grounds on Gotthardtkirchplatz were used by the Mittlere Töchterschule, Elisabethschule (in the main building) and the girls' community school (in the side building). In 1893 the renaissance portal of the Carpzow house was integrated into the school building (side facing Walter-Rathenau-Platz). During the GDR , the school was a polytechnic high school called Juri Gagarin . After the reorganization of the school system in the state of Brandenburg, a special school moved in temporarily . In 2001 there was initially vacancy. After renovation and renovation, a modern one-story wing of the building with an event room was added, the former school has been operated as the intercultural center "Gertrud von Saldern" by the Berlin-Brandenburgische Auslandsgesellschaft association since 2008. For example, there are language courses and a café is operated.

Gertrud von Saldern is honored by the Frauenorte project . In this context, on November 16, 2012, the 28th panel of the project was unveiled for you in front of the building complex of the old Saldria on Gotthardtkirchplatz. Due to the lack of a picture of Gertrud von Saldern, the panel shows her coat of arms.
