School of Kötzschenbroda, 1912

Already at the beginning of the 15th century there was school lessons in Kötzschenbroda. According to the Reformation, the local church school was set up in the Küsterei (today’s address Altkötzschenbroda 38), only with just one school room with space for two classes with a total of around 80 children. The building was rebuilt in the old state according to fires. It was not until 1850 that a second classroom was set up for another 50 children. The main building of the Kötzschenbroda elementary school was used as the main school building until 1874. In 1854, 223 children in four classes were taught by two teachers in the two school parlors, 46 children from Fürstenhain.

At the beginning of the 1860s, the space situation was no longer acceptable, the school board decided to procure further school room. In 1863, the local master builder Moritz Große built an outbuilding of the school on the back of the church school property, at Vorwerkstrasse 14. The second school building handed over on November 1st contained a school room for 80 children and the apartment for a second permanent teacher. In 1870 three teachers taught in six classes.

Not far away, the third Kötzschenbroda school building at today’s Hermann-Ilgen-Straße 35 (today’s Kötzschenbroda secondary school), a large new building was built. The old church school, the previous main house on Kirchplatz, was sold in 1874 by auction. While four teachers taught in eight classes in 1874, there were seven teachers in 1884 who teach 13 classes in seven rooms. In 1885, the school building built in 1874 received a large wing cultivation on the east side on the Gradsteg.

In August 1885, the school board was given permission to convert the former secondary school building. In June 1886, the use of use was given as a residential building. In 1890, ten teachers taught 16 classes in ten school rooms.

In 1902, a elementary school building was built in Oberkötzschenbroda to save the wide school path down the mountain to the town center to the Kötzschenbroda children there. [4] Around this time, due to lack of space, the “Zum Goldenen anchor” inn, which was not far away, had to serve as a place of teaching. [5] In 1904 there was another, the fourth, new school building at Harmoniestrasse 7, today’s Elementary school Kötzschenbroda . In addition to twelve school rooms, this building also had some teaching material rooms and a dining room in the basement.

Due to the lack of coal and the restrictions on the gas deliveries during the First World War, a public thermal room was set up in 1916/17 in “the school of the main town […], so either in the building on Harmoniestraße or in Gartenstraße (today Hermann Street). “The existing war kitchen for schoolchildren has been expanded into a general war kitchen.”

In 1929 the third elementary school was enlarged and stylistically changed to the meantime Vocational school Kötzschenbroda , which remained the only main town school in the large building in Harmoniestraße.

At the time of National Socialism, the school was called Dietrich-Eckart School , [6] After the publicist, publisher and early supporter of National Socialism Dietrich Eckart (1868–1923).

During the Second World War, the building served as a hospital, but was again used as a elementary school building from October 1945. In 1958 the school was converted into a ten-class polytechnic high school when it was given the name of the KPD official Ernst Thälmann (1886–1944) in the twentieth year of death. Under this name, the school was merged with the neighboring buildings in Hermann-Ilgen-Straße.

After the turn, in 1992, the two locations were separated again; Since then, the school on Harmoniestraße has served as a primary school for the Kötzschenbroda district of Radebeul, the Hermann-Illgen-Straße is located High school Kötzschenbroda .
