The Rectorate (also: “First School”) in the Haldensleben district of Hundisburg is located at Dönstedter Strasse / Hauptstrasse 15 . In the local register of monuments , the building complex is assigned a special cultural-historical significance for Hundisburg. Together with the rectory diagonally opposite and the side cantor staircase , the group of buildings forms an impressive ensemble of village cultural life.

history

A first schoolhouse existed in Hundisburg since 1560. In 1704 the owner of Hundisburg Castle , Johann Friedrich II. Von Alvensleben , had a new school building built in the village. The house was called the " Rectorate ", later also "School I". In addition to the teacher's apartment, this simple half-timbered building only included a 30 square meter classroom for the 44 students at the time. This classroom was extended for the first time by an extension at the end of the 18th century. Due to the increasing number of pupils, two more school buildings were built in the village by the end of the 19th century and the classroom in the old rectorate was enlarged again. The rectorate is the only one of the former schools in Hundisburg that has been preserved. It is therefore of particular importance in terms of cultural history.

The Magdeburg theologian and historian Samuel Walther was often a guest in the Hundisburg rectorate. His brother-in-law, Johann Christian Wilda, with whose family Walther's mother lived, worked here. His nephew, Samuel Leberecht Wilda, who was born in the rector's office in 1737, later became cathedral administrator in Magdeburg and was the grandfather of the writer Carl Leberecht Immermann .

School museum

In 1988 the rectorate was converted into a museum. First, the historic classroom was opened to the public. In the form presented, it has original cross- frame windows , an (oiled) floorboard and a teacher's desk made in 1887 by the Rhese joinery. In 2014/2015 the museum building was extensively renovated, which also included the courtyard and stables. The museum was expanded in a row. Since then, the authentically furnished teacher's apartment and the school yard with its historic outhouse and pigsty have also been part of the exhibition space. The building belongs to the city of Haldensleben, the inventory to the district. The school museum is a branch of the Haldensleben Museum . In 2016, the 7th conference of German-speaking school museums and school history collections took place here.

architecture

The building complex, known as the rectorate, consists of three eaves-standing , lined up buildings in an elevated position above the street at the foot of the Kirchberg. The main house from 1704 is a two-storey half-timbered house, which is joined to the west by two single-storey buildings. The three units have gable roofs . The complex forms a very individual, picturesque street view.

A remarkable detail from the time of construction is the entrance in the middle of the main house with profiled walls and original door leaves . The teacher's apartment is on the upper floor. The spatial structure of this apartment has been preserved, while the classroom on the ground floor has been rebuilt several times.
