The weaving school is a historic building in the Brandenburg city of Cottbus .
history
The building was built in 1898 as the “Prussian Higher Technical School for the Textile Industry” and until 1934 it was run exclusively as a textile engineering school . Thereafter, the lessons were expanded to include operations management, technical mechanics, mathematics and physics. The school was closed in 1945 and finally moved to Forst in 1951 . In the following years the building was placed under a preservation order and was initially used by the German People's Police and later also by the Brandenburg police .
In December 2010 the roof structure burned down completely. The fire is said to have originated during roof repair work by two roofers. Adjacent buildings were not damaged.
In 2012 a student project was founded, which sees itself as an initiative for the preservation of the building.
