Applied Arts and Crafts School (Berlin)
The arts and crafts school was a teaching facility for craftsmen, which from 1900 to 1943 resided at Wilmersdorfer Strasse 166/167 (today Eosanderstrasse 1/2, corner of Brauhofstrasse) in Charlottenburg (part of Berlin since 1920 ).
history
Its origins go back to the "Arts and Crafts School" founded in 1861. The school imparted drawing and handicraft skills to craftsmen. Regarding the student and teaching staff, Gundlach says: “In addition to the director, in 1903 5 teachers were active in the main and 24 in the secondary office; because the number of students rose to 1487, including 430 over 18 years old, 416 assistants and 29 women. ”In 1932 the school was divided into a preparatory class, workshops and the specialist departments:
- Architecture and interior design,
- Applied plastic,
- Applied painting and
- Metalworking.
The building on Eosanderstrasse (1900–1943)
The building was a four-story, representative clinker brick building based on plans by Paul Bratring . In addition to classrooms and numerous large drawing rooms (including a nudes room), it also had a tiered lecture hall, a sculpture workshop and a furniture class.
In addition, the municipal public library was housed in the transverse building since 1901 . The reading room above the gym was around 280 m² and 8.75 m high. It was spanned by a glass ceiling, had two galleries one above the other and 100 reading places.
In November 1943, the building on Eosanderstrasse was badly hit by the bombardment of Charlottenburg and burned down completely.
From 1936 until it was merged with the Hochschule der Künste in 1971
In 1936, under National Socialism, the school was given the title of “Master School of German Crafts in the Reich Capital”. After the end of the war, the blacksmith Karl Schmidt was renamed the director and the facility was renamed “Master School for Arts and Crafts”. In 1952 the ceramists Jan Bontjes van Beek followed as director and the master school moved into a building on Charlottenburger Chaussee (since 1953 Straße des 17. Juni 118 ), which still belongs to the UdK Berlin today. The school underwent further realignments and changes of name (from 1964 "Staatliche Werkkunstschule", from 1966 "Staatliche Akademie für Werkkunst und Mode") until it was finally incorporated into the "Hochschule für Bildende Künste" (now the University of the Arts ) in 1971 .
