The St. Anna Primary School (also spelled partially St. Anna Primary School ) is a primary school in the Bahnhofsviertel district of Augsburg . It used to be called the (girls) school at the Stadtpflegeranger , Stadtpflegeranger-Schule and the elementary school St. Anna . It is not to be confused with the high school near St. Anna . The palatial school building from the 19th century stands as a single object listed and is also a part of the monumental ensemble Fuggerstraße / folk Hart Street / Schaezlerstraße.
Originally an elementary school and an all-girls school, the St. Anna Primary School has been co-educational for girls and boys since the beginning of the 20th century .
Location and naming
The school is located between the two parallel streets, Schaezlerstraße and Volkhartstraße, which run in a north-west-south-east direction, surrounded by large chestnut trees, on the Stadtpflegeranger , a small park. It is adjacent to three other large public buildings: in the southwest on the other side of Schaezlerstrasse is the Augsburg State and City Library , built in 1893 , in the northeast, on the other side of Volkhartstrasse, is the " Große Haus " ( State Theater Augsburg ), built in 1877 , and in the Southeast, on the other side of the Stadtpflegeranger and the street “Am Alten Einlaß”, is the Palace of Justice , built in 1872–75 .
The school has the address Schaezlerstraße 26 and is part of the Bahnhofs- and Bismarckviertel district . The “Staatstheater” stop is next to the school, it has two tram platforms ( line 4 ) and four bus platforms.
The school name refers to the southeast location Anna Church . A school district was formed around them in 1828, to which initially only the partial schools at St. Ulrich and Heilig Kreuz were assigned. In 1860 a new school building was opened at the Kleine Grottenau, which already bears the addition “at St. Anna”. Due to the rapid population growth and the associated increase in the number of pupils, however , this elementary school was soon overcrowded and in 1873 the new building of the girls' school at Stadtpflegeranger followed. The name was later transferred from the old school to the new school.
History and description of the building
_Entwurf.jpg)
The school was built in the years 1872/73 on Schaezlerstraße, which was laid out as a new street shortly before. Volkhartstrasse didn't exist back then, but it was laid out soon after the school was built, from around 1875. During the earthworks for the construction of the school in 1872, Roman finds came to light, see the partial development of the Stadtpflegeranger .
The school was built in the neo-renaissance style according to plans by the Augsburg city planner Ludwig Leybold and is considered one of the best examples of historicism in Augsburg. In terms of urban development, the representative school building was to form a counterpart to the judicial sculpture opposite and at the same time restore symmetry in public space. The structure was also shaped in such a way that it fits in well between the Palace of Justice and the adjoining residential buildings on Volkhartstrasse and, to a certain extent, represents a transition.
The school building has a symmetrical, H-shaped floor plan, consisting of a longitudinal wing between two transverse side wings with internal staircases. All three wings have the same ridge height . There is also a polygonal toilet block on the side of the school yard. The three-story, plastered brick building is equipped with a flat gable roof and mezzanine . The base is designed with rustic bosswork , the fronts are structured with pilasters . There is a protruding console frieze in which there are partially metope windows . In addition to a caretaker's apartment, there are a total of 17 classrooms inside, which are accessed via U-shaped corridors.
In the inventory of the municipal art collections there is a wooden model of the school, which was probably made by the municipal modeler Hennings according to Leybold's design.
The actual main entrance to the school is on the southwest side, but it is no longer used because of the heavy traffic. Instead, the original side entrances in the schoolyard now serve as the main entrances. In the southeast, the city maintenance Ranger out there is a terrace of stone .
Until this school was built, Catholic girls in Augsburg were educated exclusively in monastery schools by nuns . With the completion, a new school district was divided . In 1873 it caused great excitement among the Catholic citizens that in future male teachers should teach their daughters, and there was a petition against it.
Originally the school as a whole was denominationally mixed, but the individual classes were denominationally separated. Catholic girls were taught in the west wing of the school and Protestant girls in the east wing.
In 1875 a gymnasium with a music hall above was built in the schoolyard .
