The forest school in Flensburg is a primary school located in the Westliche Höhe district. Its main building is one of the district's cultural monuments . The forest road on which the school is located leads in the direction of Marienhölzung . It is right next to the Danish Gustav-Johannsen-Skolen . The forest school is the cooperation school of the University of Flensburg .

background

The forest school was obviously named after the forest road that leads to the nearby forest area. It could also be named after the deacon Jasper Wald. Jasper Wald had worked in St. Johannis from 1837 to 1842 and had campaigned for the establishment of waiting schools. He died in 1877.

The school building was built from 1903 onwards according to plans by the city building officer Otto Fielitz . The transverse building with the main entrance, which was intended for St. Marien - Boys' School IV, was built by 1904 . The extension wing on Norderallee for an eight-class girls' school followed from 1905 to 1908 . The brick building with Gothic and Art Nouveau elements shows slight similarities to the recently built neo-Gothic brick building of the Hans Christiansen House , originally also a school and also by Otto Fielitz. But the forest school shows an even stronger stylistic similarity to the Naval School Mürwik from 1910 by Adalbert Kelm , even if the forest school looks less castle-like. On the gable of the gymnasium of the forest school, a Flensburg coat of arms and under this the symbol of the German Gymnastics Federation was attached.

In the 1910s there was a natural science collection in the drawing room of the forest school, which marked the beginning of today's Natural Science Museum in Flensburg .

In 1951 new pavilion classes were added. In 1962 and 1965, extensions for dressing rooms and gymnastics classes were added to the old gym. The monument protector Lutz Wilde commented on the modern, high-contrast additions: "[...] the gymnasium disfigured by modern additions to the courtyard and in front of the gable side [...]".
