Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Northern view from the dune ridge: Former theatre hall of progressive Schule am Meer (= School by the Sea) on Juist Island, North Sea, Germany. Planned in 1929 and built in 1930/31 by renowned Berlin-based architect Bruno Ahrends (1878–1948) the building is now part of the island's youth hostel. Despite its unique status in German architecture and pedagogics its core was removed in the early 1950s to serve as a protestant children's home named 'Inselburg' (= Island Castle). Instead of its large theatre hall with a gallery it became an additional floor, much more rooms and windows. Its formerly distinctive long vertical strip of ribbon windows was wailed and hidden behind a newer adjacent building in the Northwest (right). The single narrow window on the right which can be seen above the adjacent building's roof is probably a remainder of the former vertical strip of ribbon windows. The skylight on the roof of the former theatre hall today is barrel-shaped whereas it has been gently inclined by Bruno Ahrends.
Deutsch: Blick von Norden (Dünenkette): Heutige Ansicht des 1929 durch den renommierten Berliner Architekten Bruno Ahrends (1878–1948) geplanten und 1930/31 errichteten Hallenbaus bzw. der Bühnenhalle der ehemaligen reformpädagogischen Schule am Meer auf der Nordseeinsel Juist. In den frühen 1950er Jahren komplett entkernt und umgebaut zum evangelischen Kinderheim 'Inselburg', dient das Gebäude heute unter demselben Namen der Jugendherberge Juist. Durch die gesamte Ausdehnung des ehemaligen Theatersaals mit Empore wurde eine zusätzliche Etage eingezogen; eine Vielzahl von Räumen und Fenstern entstand. Das früher markante vertikale Fensterband wurde großteils vermauert bzw. durch einen neueren Anbau im Nordweeten (rechts) verdeckt. Das einzelne schmale Fenster, das knapp oberhalb des Anbau-Daches zu erkennen ist, stellt wahrscheinlich einen Überrest dieses einstigen schmalen vertikalen Fensterbandes dar. Das Oberlicht auf dem Dach ist heute tonnenförmig, war seitens des Architekten Bruno Ahrends jedoch ursprünglich erheblich sanfter gerundet ausgeführt.
