history
Krönerstraße 25 is the fifth school building in the municipality of Deuben. The first school was in town from 1844. This was followed by the second building in the immediate vicinity, the third school building was built in 1873. Ten years later, the fourth building on today's Pestalozzistraße was completed and expanded in 1899. However, the steadily rapid population increase in the community made further capacity expansions necessary. In 1906 , the Deuben school community under director Karl Meinhold and the Deuben community board member Ernst Robert Rudelt submitted a building application to the Dresden-Altstadt authorities . This granted the building permit on August 1, 1906, after which the construction of the building on a community-owned property began immediately. The costs for the new building were estimated at around 250,000 marks, the Partzsch company was active as an architect.
The building was inaugurated on September 16, 1907. The staff room was on the mezzanine floor, the director's workrooms were on the first floor. In the basement there was, among other things, a gymnasium and a teaching kitchen with coal, gas and electric operation. A low-pressure steam heater was installed. In 1913, the classes of simple and higher elementary schools were taught in the building, eight rooms were not yet in use.
At the end of 1925, the stage was built into the auditorium to provide an appropriate setting for the numerous theatrical performances. In 1949 it was renovated and technically modernized. From September 1, 1956, the building was the location of the Extended Oberschule (EOS) Freital, whose lessons had previously taken place in the premises of the Dresdner Straße 250 trade school .
In 1970 the artist Hector Tobar from Chile created the sgraffito “Jugend lernt” (youth learns) in the western entrance area together with students .
In 1991 and 1992 the building was completely renovated. In 1992, EOS was transferred to the Freital-Deuben District High School, which was renamed the Weißeritz High School in 2007 (100th anniversary of the new school building) with a ceremony. The floods of 2002 caused considerable damage, especially in the basement area. As a result, the affected rooms were renovated and a new exterior paint was applied.
Another extensive renovation took place in 2018 and 2019. In a 16-month construction period, the roof, roof truss and facade as well as interior rooms and furnishings were renewed for 6.8 million euros. In addition, an elevator was added to the rear of the building to ensure barrier-free access to all floors.
