| 説明 | Sct. Annagade Skole. Entrance from corner Ingerslevs Boulevard/Skt. Anna Gade. Almost exactly the same motive as another photo, so I've taken the liberty to do some rather unrealistic post-processing here, just for the fun of it. Sct. Annagade skole was a public school operating between 1950 and 1976. It consisted of several buildings, the oldest built back in 1880 as Aarhus Amtssygehus (hospital), inaugurated in 1882. In the years that followed, several extensions were added, including the main wing along Ingerslevs Boulevard in 1907, but it wasn't enough and the hospital outgrew the buildings, so a new one was built, starting in the mid 1930s. The old buildings were bought by Aarhus Kommune (municipality) and converted into a school, ready for inauguration in 1950.The school was rather clumsily named Sct. Annagade Skole... Not only did it use a "c" in the name, rather than the "k" used in the street name (Sct. vs Skt.), but by making "Annagade" (Annastreet) one word, it also managed to completely mass up the meaning: Sct. Anna (or Skt. Anna) simply means St./Saint Anna, while the wording Sct./Skt. Annagade implies, that the school was named after a saint by the name saint Annagade!Oh well, mistakes will happen, and they do.By the mid 1970s, the number of students was rapidly declining, as families left the inner city for the suburbs and in 1976, the school closed down for good.For the following decades, the buildings were used for all sorts of recreational purposes. From stamp collectors to hobby train enthusiasts all found facilities in the old school. The schoolyard was converted into a skateboard- and scooter park with ramps, while a big green area out in the back became a combined playground/park used by locals of all ages.Over the years, the school became THE place to go and hang out, but the times were changing once again.Up through the 1990s and 2000s, several small schools in the area closed down, and the remaining ones were getting severely outdated for modern educational standards. Rather than spending fortunes trying to modernize all over the place, it was decided to build one big new city school, Frederiksbjerg Skole, replacing the old Sct. Annagade skole, so in late spring 2014 the bulldozers moved in and demolished everything. The whole project was completed in time for the school semester 2016.I decided to visit the old school shortly before it disappeared, wanting to capture not only the buildings, but also the atmosphere.This is a bit complex, when trying to respect people's privacy: I don't want to censor everything - the school was not populated by a horde of blurred blobs, but by real people. I opted for a solution where I tried not to get too close and/or get any recognizable faces in the foreground. People in profile are ok, as are larger groups of people further back in the frame. I hope that I've managed to find a proper way to do things.I also made a later visit, while the demolition was in full progress. Photos from that occasion will be uploaded later. |
