history

Free tuition free schools for boys were in Bremer education after the successful 1844 introduction of universal compulsory education built in Bremen. This school was the first state school in Bremen that did not have to pay school fees.

The clinkered, two-storey front building of the free school as an eight-class double school building with a gable roof was built in the historicizing style in 1854 in the era of late classicism .
In the double school, 162 boys and 180 girls were taught strictly separately.
In 1864 the rear building followed with four classrooms according to plans by Dunkel.
From 1858 to 1869 August Kippenberg was director of this school. Since there was no regular training for prospective teachers in Bremen, Kippenberg founded a private teachers' seminar in 1859 and ran it alongside his regular job. From 1869 to 1897 the school was also a training school for the teachers' seminar on Kreftingstrasse .

In 1870 the St. Nicolai widow's house was added, probably also designed by Dunkel.
In 1886 (according to the Black Forest in 1878) the front building was increased and a gymnasium was built in 1890. There were 700 to 800 students at the school at that time.

The number of pupils at this elementary school decreased sharply after 1921 and amounted to 362 in 1925, who were taught in 12 class groups. In 1943 all children were sent to the Kinderlandverschickung until 1945 . The rear building, which was bombed in 1944, was demolished. A new gym came in 1981. In 2018, the building housed the two-class elementary school with 181 students in eight classes. From the 3rd grade onwards, English and Spanish are offered as foreign languages.
