history
school-building
The two school buildings of the Frederic Joliot Curie School are about 250 meters apart as the crow flies. The school building at Große Münzenstaße 14, east of the main street , is the older of the two buildings. It is one of the earliest examples of new school buildings in the city of Brandenburg in the second half of the 19th century. The schoolhouse was built from 1875 to 1876 for the Augustaschule , a girls' middle school . It was built in place of a Renaissance house. Later the school became the Roland School. During World War II , a second building in the school was badly hit by a bomb and destroyed.
The school house in Kurstrasse 69/70, west of Hauptstrasse, was built between 1886 and 1887 as the Neustadt boys' school, also in place of a Renaissance house. From 1908 to 1939 the Catholic parish school was housed in the house. Then the Heinrich von Kleist School was settled. It was then used as a location for the municipal commercial schools. In the GDR , the school building was combined as the Joliot Curie Oberschule, a polytechnic high school (POS). This polytechnic high school existed until 1991. In that year, the newly founded state of Brandenburg adapted its school system to German standards. Instead of the previously existing polytechnic and extended high schools , elementary schools, secondary schools , comprehensive schools and grammar schools emerged . The previous Curie high school was restructured into a primary school, which was soon renamed Frederic Joliot Curie School.
Synagogue and memorial
The synagogue of the Jewish community of the city of Brandenburg, built between 1882 and 1883, was located in the Große Münzenstrasse in the backyard of house number 15, directly adjacent to the Augusta School's schoolyard . The neo-Romanesque brick building had a dome in the Moorish style . The synagogue was from from Wroclaw originating builder Julius Nathanson built. The building provided space for around 170 believers.
On the night of November 9-10, 1938, the night of the pogrom, the house of God was looted and burned down by the Nazis . The Jewish parish hall in front of the synagogue at Grosse Munzenstrasse 15 remained undamaged. The arson was carried out by the Brandenburg fire brigade . She started the fire with accelerator , gasoline. Furthermore, she was commissioned to protect only the neighboring houses. The organizer of the destruction and anti-Semitic attacks was Wilhelm Sievers , the city's mayor at the time. After the ruins were removed , only the southern outer wall remained. The base of the synagogue became part of the schoolyard of the later Curie school. The preserved south wall became a memorial in the GDR. At the memorial, for example, the annual silent marches begin on November 9th to the former Jewish cemetery on Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse .
