Media library (Boys' Citizen School)

As the space in the Latin School was no longer sufficient, it was decided in 1828 to build a new branch, which was consecrated in 1830 and called the Boys' Citizen School. Like the Latin school, the Boys' Citizen School was an all-boys' school; girls were educated in the house of the "Maidleinschulmeisterin" (teacher for the girls).

With the completion of the citizen's school (today the dinter secondary school), they had a central place for schooling and henceforth no longer needed the old ones and they were used for other purposes. In 1876, for example, the town bank and savings bank moved into the Boys' Citizen School building.

Since 1942, part of the building has been used as a makeshift Heimatstube (local history room), thanks to the efforts of the senior teacher Robert Weber. Another user of the house on Martin-Luther-Platz was the town library. From several small private book collections, the idea of a library open to all was born.

In an article published in 1863, the Bornaer Wochenblatt (a newspaper) announced the idea of founding such a library. The town's trade association was particularly enthusiastic and a public library was founded in 1876, followed a year later by the municipal library. Until 1920, the municipal library was located in the town hall under very cramped conditions.

Finally, in 1955, after all other users had moved, the municipal library was allowed to use the entire building according to its own ideas. With the completion of the modern extension, the building was renamed Mediothek in 2011, in accordance with its current use.
