history

The oldest written mention of a Cottbus school (s) goes back to 1435.

History of school development from its first mention in 1435 to 1900

In Guben's city book, Jac. Domink named as the oldest schoolmaster in Cottbus. A new building for the lyceum was built near the upper church in 1583/84. There were two classrooms and a teacher's apartment. This building was destroyed in a city fire in 1600. In the first few years, only boys could attend school. It was not until 1579 that a girls' school opened. The children were raised mainly to fear God and to be kingship. The students were taught by preachers, sextons and catechists (religion teachers). The close connection between church and school continued until the end of the 19th century. The Komptendorfer tenant Krüger donated money for an orphan school in 1744. In 1747 a building site of its own was acquired and on September 24, 1749 the orphanage school was officially opened in what later became Wallstrasse 55. On March 20, 1820, the Cottbus Lyceum received the status of a high school with the name "Friedrich Wilhelm III". The villages of Sandow and Brunschwig , not yet incorporated at the time, each had their own school. In April 1874 the Augusta School, a "higher school for girls", moved into its domicile in today's Pushkin promenade. Girls from wealthy families were educated here. Between the years 1875 and 1884 there were also seminars for teachers there. On April 1, 1895, the private school was taken over by the city. The city itself also built a girls' middle school in 1875. The new elementary school IV building was inaugurated on May 16, 1887 in Dresdener Strasse. Six girls 'classes and six boys' classes could be taught there. Two years later a wing of the building was added and in 1901 the western part for the "Martin Luther School" was added. A community school was built in 1896 at Sandower Straße 19. This was temporarily used as a boys' middle school and a short time after 1945 as a teacher training institution. Later there was the "industrial vocational school" and today it is the "commercial upper school center".

Development from 1900 to 1945

The 2nd Realschule opened in Sandow on October 13, 1913, according to the construction plans of the Berlin architect Dr. Mäckelt built. The year 1920 began with innovations in the urban education system. The adult education center was opened in the Augusta School in January. The city council decided to set up a paid city school council for 1921. That year the first school dental clinic opened and school lunches were introduced.

Teacher training: Teachers' seminar, Pedagogical Academy, Pedagogical Institute Cottbus

On June 25, 1910, a new school building for a preparation institute and a teachers' seminar was inaugurated on Sielower Strasse . This building also included a director's mansion and a gym. The teachers' seminar was closed in 1925, but reopened in 1930 as the Pedagogical Academy under Peter Zylmann , but closed again in 1932 due to the Prussian austerity policy. In 1933, the Nazi state renamed it the College for Teacher Training and provided new teaching staff. The director was Max Momsen , a professor for "physical and military education". Because of the Second World War, it was first shut down in 1939, then downgraded to a teacher training institution in 1941 . After 1945 a pedagogical institute moved in to train new teachers in the Soviet occupation zone and GDR until 1952 .

Development from 1945 to 1990

In September 1946 a new school system came into force. On September 1, 1952, the Sorbian High School opened its doors in the building of the old teachers' college. Today this school is the Lower Sorbian Gymnasium and is one of the most important schools in Lower Lusatia. The two-tier school model was introduced from 1960. This meant school lessons in the polytechnic high school or in the extended high school . The latter led to the Abitur in 12th grade. During this time, new districts in Cottbus also emerged. The rapid development of the industry led to increasing population numbers. New schools were built, and six schools were built in the Sandow district alone. In September 1969, with the opening of the Civil Engineering College, the construction of the educational center began over the following years. By 1973 numerous new educational institutions were established there, such as the construction vocational school, the school of the textile combine and two pedagogical schools. The entire site was handed over on October 3, 1974. The music school, which had existed since the 1950s, became the Cottbus Conservatory in May 1973. In 1982 it moved to Pushkin Promenade, where it is still located today. New schools have also sprung up in the Sachsendorf / Madlow residential area, which has been newly built since 1975.

Development from 1991 to 2013

In 1991 the education system was restructured, the schools were divided into elementary schools, comprehensive schools, secondary schools and grammar schools. After many years of restoration, the listed Bauhaus school reopened its doors on March 13, 1998. With the construction of the Carl Blechen Gallery in 2000, the girls' middle school built in 1874/75 and later the Carl Blechen School was rebuilt. Since the building could not be demolished for monument protection reasons, another solution had to be found. The old school, no longer used for school operations, was integrated into the new building of the shopping center. In 1991 the Brandenburg Technical University was founded and in the same year the doors of the University of Applied Sciences in Cottbus opened . The school location Cottbus thus achieved a new quality. Many schools were closed due to a drastic decline in students, by 50 percent by 2005 compared to 1990. In 2013, 21,828 children and young people were studying in Cottbus schools and in the Spree-Neisse district. The largest number was registered in primary schools with 7,737 children. The number of students at Cottbus grammar schools was 4,212. The number at the comprehensive schools was currently 1,320 students. The number of pupils at the special needs schools fell from 763 to 718. The number of pupils in the secondary schools remained almost the same with 397 pupils.

In 1970 it was named "Artur Becker" and in 1974 the school was given the status of an extended secondary school. After the reunification, the school became the 2nd grammar school in Cottbus with a mathematical and scientific profile. Teachers and students dealt intensively with the life of Prince Pückler, and work assignments in Branitzer Park were carried out. The school was named “Fürst-Pückler-Gymnasium” in May 1994. In 2006 the Fürst-Pückler-Gymnasium, the Spreeland-Gymnasium and the Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium merged. A year later, performance and talent classes with a musical focus were introduced. There are two school buildings and a sports hall on the school premises.

Evangelical Gottfried Forck Primary School

This elementary school was the first Christian elementary school in Cottbus and is located in the Ströbitz district. The building is the former Ströbitzer community school from 1912. The school is a recognized substitute school and offers all-day classes. It was given the name Gottfried-Forck in 2000. In that year, the school was taken over by the Diakonisches Werk.

Protestant high school

This school is located in the building of the former Carl Blechen primary school in the Sandow district of Cottbus. This school is supported by the foundation of the Protestant regional church.

Moving primary school

The building is located at Straße der Jugend 75. The groundbreaking ceremony for the then higher middle school took place on March 7, 1885. The first class took place on January 14, 1886. There were 337 boys and 339 girls each in six classes. At the end of 1889, a second wing was available. In February 1945 the school was badly damaged by a bomb attack. The Red Army occupied the building in April 1945, but it was released again in May. After the end of the war, the number of students rose sharply. From May 1945 to September 1945 from 124 to 833 children. On October 1, 1945, lessons could begin with 20 classes in 16 rooms. A year later the school received a secretariat. In terms of content, the school today is based on the reform pedagogical approaches of Maria Montessori.

Cottbus Conservatory

Conservatory Cottbus

On today's Pushkin Promenade (then Luckauer Wall), a new building and extension was built in 1873 for the existing college for girls. This was called the " Augusta School ", named after the Empress Augusta. The entire complex was inaugurated on January 5, 1912. Up to the end of the Second World War the school systems changed (lyceum, upper lyceum, high school college), but the house always remained the "Augusta school", the training center for girls. After the Second World War, the building was an extended high school. In 1982 the Cottbus Music School moved into this building. In the years 1985–1990 the old gymnasium was expanded into a concert hall with 300 seats.
