history

The house of court carpenter Johann Gottlob David Brendel (1753–1803) built between 1790 and 1792 was the first private town house in the Berlin suburb. It was transferred to the Potsdam Poor and Work House in 1826. In the 1840s, the ensemble of buildings with the adjoining house at Berliner Straße 143 went to the “Frank'sche Stiftung” founded by the court pharmacist Johann Ferdinand Frank (1775–1830), which set up an “educational institution for neglected boys”. In 1933 the foundation was dissolved and converted into an “ auxiliary school for the weak ”. During the GDR era " Walter Junker School", the houses at Berliner Straße 143 and 144 housed the Froebel School from 1992 to 2007 (special school for educational assistance), named after the pedagogue Friedrich Froebel . In 2008 the building was converted into a rental apartment building.
