The school museum at Friedrichstrasse 14 in Friedrichshafen is one of the largest school museums in Germany. It shows the history of the school in Germany on three floors. A special feature of the museum are the three original classrooms from 1850, 1900 and 1930, which were saved from demolition from old school buildings and built into the museum rooms. In the classrooms you can take a seat on the benches, experience for yourself how the furnishings have changed over the centuries and try out a few things, for example writing on slates. There are also themed rooms such as the punishment room (or detention center ), the teaching material collection and a room on the school under National Socialism. Annual changing exhibitions show new things from childhood history.
history
The Friedrichshafen School Museum emerged from the school history collection of the former Rector of the Pestalozzi School in Friedrichshafen, Norbert Steinhauser. It was opened in 1980 and was initially located in the Schnetzenhausen schoolhouse. In 1981 exhibits from Erich Müller-Gaebele's collection were added. At that time the museum was still called the Upper Swabian School Museum. Steinhauser and Müller-Gaebele were directors of the school museum until 2010.
In 1989 the museum, which had suffered from lack of space and moisture problems in Schnetzenhausen, was housed in the historic Villa Riß in downtown Friedrichshafen. This house was built in 1893 and was once inhabited by the dentist Riss. It suffered damage from bombing during World War II .
The collection has been steadily expanded since the move to the former villa and is presented on three floors and 19 rooms of the house.
Permanent exhibition
The permanent exhibition is structured chronologically and begins with lessons in monastery schools and other church-run schools, which marked the beginning of the school system north of the Alps. It deals with the Latin schools in the cities and the transition to teaching in German, which was accompanied by the spread of school teaching to rural areas and to wider classes. Many exhibits date from the time of the 19th century, when new school forms were developed, numerous school buildings were erected and systematic teacher training was introduced, including parts of teaching material collections, certificates and picture documents. The different upbringing of boys and girls is discussed as well as the gradual opening of the educational professions to women. The educational ideals of the empire, approaches of reform pedagogy and schools in the third empire are discussed extensively. Further topics of the permanent exhibition are the consequences of the war for schools and the beginning of the use of media such as tape recorders and computers .
In the school museum there are three classrooms from bygone times; a village school from around 1850, a classroom as it was in use around 1900, and one in the style of the period around 1930. The latter two classrooms can be used by visitors, for example to write on slates.
