The school at Falkplatz is a primary school in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg in the Pankow district . It has made a name for itself as an environmental school and has received various awards for this. The school is a listed building monument .
history
The building was built between 1913 and 1916 for the Luisenstädtische Gymnasium, today's Heinrich-Schliemann-Oberschule , based on designs by Ludwig Hoffmann . In 1928, at the instigation of the then rector and reform pedagogue Paul Hildebrandt (1925–1932), it was renamed after the businessman and pioneer of field archeology Heinrich Schliemann (1822–1890). With the approval of the Prussian provincial and city authorities, Hildebrandt managed to set up an upper secondary school while the humanistic grammar school continued in the same building.
Hildebrandt's successor, Fritz Plagemann, was dismissed along with four other faculty members after the Nazis' seizure of power in 1933 due to his Jewish origin. In 1939 the dedication of the school was changed in favor of Horst Wessel . Due to the war , the school moved to Carmen-Sylva-Straße (today Erich-Weinert-Straße) and later to the Berlin area. On September 1, 1945, the school resumed operations on Gleimstrasse.
In 1953 the Heinrich-Schliemann-Oberschule moved to Greifswalder Straße 25 (since 1992 Dunckerstraße 64) to make room for the establishment of a polytechnic high school . After that, the users switched several times. Among other things, the 1st Berlin children's and youth sports school was housed here. From 1991 to 1994 the building was renovated and after the restructuring of the East Berlin school system, the 11th elementary school in the Prenzlauer Berg district moved here. In 2004 the new school and leisure yard was inaugurated and the school got its current name. The school has been extensively renovated since summer 2014.
