School on the Hohwisch
The Auf der Hohwisch school is in Bremen- Hemelingen , Hastedt district , on the corner of Auf der Hohwisch 61–62 / Fährstraße . The building with architectural decorations in Art Nouveau was placed under monument protection in 1984 as a Bremen cultural monument .
history
building
In 1903 the New School in Hastedt was built as a primary school according to plans by the building councilor Hugo Weber . The three-storey, 21-axis, symmetrical, plastered main wing on the street Auf der Hohwisch was divided on the street side by a central risalit and on both sides by a gable . An oval window dominates the segmental arch above the three-axis risalit , which is particularly influenced by Art Nouveau.
The 18-axis courtyard side is divided by the two staircases that flank the large 9-axis middle section. In the middle of the three storeys sit three oval windows in a semicircular gable field and above that a roof attachment with the small clock tower as a turret . In front of it stands in the middle, protruding into the school yard, a three-axis gymnasium with side rooms to the right and left of it.
In addition to the classrooms and the gym, the school building had the teachers' room and an apartment for the housekeeper , as the caretaker was called. A shower room gave the opportunity to bathe because the majority of the population in this district did not have this opportunity at home. The school was originally equipped with gas lighting. The school bell, which was struck by hand, determined the lessons.
school
Initially, the building served as a primary school, to which, after 1919, a household school, known as a cooking school , was also temporarily attached in the basement . At that time, the children in elementary school were taught separately according to sex. The school yard was also strictly separated for boys and girls. The new “free school” also enabled poorer children to get a free education.
In 1939 a police unit used the gym. In 1941 an earth bunker was built under the girls' schoolyard , which was forgotten after the war and was discovered by chance in 1996. Two of the five bunker tubes have been returned to their original state, the others preserved. They are accessible again and documents are used to show the subjects of forced laborers and bunkers , schools and bunkers and alarms and the all-clear .
After 1945 it was called Oberschule with branch A (later branch H for secondary school ), so it was still an elementary school. In 1968 the eight-grade elementary school was replaced by the new elementary school model. In addition to the primary school , special schools were housed here. What remained are the students at a primary school branch at the school on Alten Postweg .

The mural "Frère Jacques, dormez-vous?" By Jub Mönster with a motif of school life has been on the eastern gable since 1987 .
Since 1983 the school museum Bremen with the school history collection has been housed in the school, as well as the advice center for migration and a permanent German course for foreign children. The Bremen Music School also uses the school building, and sports clubs use the gym.
