architecture
The School of the Cross Sisters, built according to the plans of the architect Clemens Holzmeister , forms a city within the city. With schools and kindergartens and after-school care and boarding school it also includes a monastery with a church. The southern side wing was expanded in 1965. The facility was supplemented with a retirement home. From 2009 to 2011 the old after-school care center was torn down and two additional gyms were built at this point. The after-school care center is now located above the new gymnasium.
The castle-like overall complex with side wings was built from 1927 to 1929 as a building of ( New Objectivity ) and educational rigor, with a central staircase with the chapel on the top floor. In the middle of 1932, with the round, ground-level ballroom, the entire complex was accentuated and broken up with emblematic expressive elements.
