The long side of the school is on the main street, on a corner plot between Pestalozzistraße on the left, southern side and Gellertstraße on the right, northern side. The building is a listed building . Behind the school building is later built, also listed today school gymnasium , connected approximately parallel to the latter and by a breaker. Behind the gym, on Pestalozzistraße, there is a large schoolyard where the Pestalozzischule is also located.

The rectangular building with a flat hipped roof is twelve window axes long in the symmetrical main view, four of which are in the central projectile. In the middle of this is a two-axis wide entrance portal, which has an arched end and is bordered by square columns with female capitals . The risalit is closed by a stepped gable, which towers over the roof and is crowned by numerous spheres.

The plastered building is in the neo-renaissance style. The windows, arched on the ground floor and rectangular on the upper floors, are framed by sandstone walls.

history

After the Radebeul children had been taught in the local church school in neighboring Kaditz (see also Old School in Kaditz ), Radebeul received its own school district in the 1870s . In 1876 the community purchased a piece of land in what was then Bahnhofstrasse to build their first school building on it.

This was designed in 1877 by the master builder Karl Her (r) mann Wagner from Kötzschenbroda , who had successfully prevailed against 13 competitors for the tender. In the end, the scope of the 50,000-mark building project no longer included the gymnasium originally advertised, the furnishing of the classrooms, the heating, the fountain, the garden and the fencing of the school property. The foundation stone was laid in May 1877 ; In the following month, master builder Wagner died before the shell was completed. Master builder Bischoff was appointed as the new building contractor, who was subsequently able to meet the originally set completion date of January 1, 1878.

The inauguration took place on May 1, 1878. On that day, the students had to go to their previous school in Kaditz for the last time in the morning, in order to be brought to the Radebeul corridor boundary by their previous Kaditz teachers and two school board members there, which shortly before became the school district boundary. There they were taken over by two Radebeul school boards and their future teachers. Arrived in front of the school, the inaugural speech was given by the royal district school inspector, the pastor gave his blessing, then the elementary school was allowed to open.

The school was a two-story building with a gable roof . Two teachers taught 126 children in two of the four classrooms on the first floor. The third room was used from 1881 and the fourth from 1886; four teachers taught an eight-grade school. Associated with the industrialization of Radebeul was a steadily growing population, so that in 1890 the apartments on the first floor of the school, rented by the school board, had to be converted into classrooms. From 1895 girls and boys were taught separately according to sex.

In December 1896, the gym behind the school was inaugurated, which had been removed from the tender ten years earlier for cost reasons.

The second elementary school building (later Pestalozzi School ), built in 1897 on the neighboring property to the west, was given the status of a simple elementary school , while the elementary school that had existed for a long time was upgraded to a higher elementary school or a community school . This started with five again mixed classes. In 1900, a school garden was laid out next to the town hall designed by the Dresden architect Gustav Haenichen in 1899/1900 . In addition to the church school teacher / cantor, nine teachers, three assistant teachers, one assistant teacher and two assistant teachers for female handicrafts, one of whom also gave cooking lessons, were subordinate to the primary school director Richard Weise.

In February 1901, Haenichen drew up plans to convert the school, which were carried out the following year. In addition to a redesign, the storeys were also increased to three floors; today's school building was built. In 1904 the school consisted of 14 classes, in which eight teachers taught a total of 506 children.

At Easter 1920 the two elementary schools were institutionally separated; the older school was named after the famous poet Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805). After Morzinek, the school was named Schiller's name as early as 1919.

In 1940 the school was closed and rededicated as an administrative building for the city council; As a result, the building, only about a hundred meters from the town hall , was the seat of the Radebeul City Welfare and Nutrition Office. After the Second World War, the State College for Dentists moved there in 1946 and occupied the upper rooms, while the Department for Trade and Supply of the City Council of Radebeul was housed on the ground floor. In 1949 the building was cleared because it was to be used by the Soviet occupying forces for training purposes. From 1951 to 1955 the institute for teacher training "Edwin Hoernle" was housed in the building of the Schillerschule until it moved into the Steinbachhaus of today's Lößnitzgymnasium . In 1954 the neighboring Pestalozzi School received some rooms in the main street building due to lack of space.

Since 1955 the building again serves as the school: in 1959 there was a ten-year Polytechnic High School (Schiller High School) housed, since 1992 it is the primary school "Friedrich Schiller" for the district Radebeul.

In the district monument list of 1979, the Schillerschule was part of the listed intersection of Ernst-Thälmann-Straße / Pestalozzistraße , together with the three other corner buildings ( Ernst-Thälmann-Straße 8 , 9 and Sidonienstraße 1, which was demolished in 2011 ).

An architecture competition was held in 2016 for a new building for the Schillerhort.
