Abstract
A recent exhibition of the State Archives in Zagreb of the school buildings in Zagreb (organized to mark the Archives Day) provided evidence that the school buildings in Zagreb built in the late 19th and early 20th century are not simply variations of a single design, but were designed by different architects.
A survey of Zagorje showed that school buildings from the same period in the region are not necessarily closely related, and that the Elementary School in Krapina is the most representative in the region. The Krapina school was built in 1911 on the municipal lot near the city center itself, designed by the architect Vincenz Rauscher, an employee of the Building Department of the Royal Regional Government in Zagreb. Rauscher used to be best known as a collaborator of Hermann Bolle on the church of Krist Kralj at Zagreb's Mirogoj Cemetery, while the Krapina school was assigned only to Pollak, Albert and Bornstein, the contractors that built it. The article emphasizes the quality of Rauscher's work in Krapina; at the same time he designed schools in Vinkovci (1907), Topusko, Našice (1916) and Korenica (1920/21).
