A modern school in the countryside

Description

Originally the form of the school was different. Only the south house with the entrance and the clock was designed with a gabled roof. The elongated building with the ribbon windows was roofed with a flat roof. Most probably between the late 1930s until the 1960s was added the gabled roof. Behind these windows, facing the street, are the corridors. The school with its large windows and classrooms opens to the west. Similar to Teutschenthal, the school ends with a characteristic semi-circular building, here used for the stairway.

History

The construction time for this school is mentioned 1931. It might be possible, that the construction works started in 1930. The regional government of Merseburg showed interest in modern architecture. Not far away in Wettin was built a school in 1931.

Most of the original interieur is saved.

Once it was the school of Belleben, which became an incorporated village of the town Könnern.
