SLO: Od gline do znanja
S te točke se pred vami odpira pogled na dva kraja, ki ju povezuje zanimiva zgodba o Bogojini, skupnosti in šoli.
Na eni strani lahko opazite območje, kjer so po pripovedovanju domačinov nekoč izdelovali opeko, na drugi pa Osnovno šolo Bogojina, zgrajeno v začetku šestdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja.
Opeka, ki je nastajala doma
Izdelovanje opeke je bilo nekoč v Prekmurju pomemben del lokalnega znanja. Manjša opekarniška mesta oziroma tako imenovane ciglence so omogočala, da so ljudje gradbeni material izdelali kar v domačem okolju.
V Bogojini je takšno skupnostno delo dobro poznano tudi iz časa gradnje Plečnikove cerkve, ko so vaščani sami sodelovali pri pripravi materiala in izdelavi opeke.
Po ustnem izročilu domačinov naj bi podobno sodelovali tudi pri gradnji nove šole. Opeko naj bi izdelovali prav na območju, ki ga lahko vidite s te točke.
Šola, zgrajena za prihodnost
Sedanja stavba Osnovne šole Bogojina je bila zgrajena leta 1961, pouk v njej pa se je začel v šolskem letu 1961/62.
Gradnja nove šole je bila za Bogojino velik dogodek. Stara šola je bila premajhna, število otrok pa je naraščalo. Nova stavba je zato pomenila pomemben korak v razvoju kraja.
In zgodba se nadaljuje.
Približno 65 let pozneje, prav v letu 2026, lahko s te točke opazujete novo poglavje v zgodovini šole – gradnjo prizidka, s katerim šola ponovno raste in se prilagaja novim generacijam učencev.
Tako se pred vami na enem mestu srečajo tri obdobja:
glina in ročno izdelana opeka,
šola iz leta 1961
in nova gradnja leta 2026.
Morda je prav to najlepši simbol razvoja kraja: iz zemlje je nastala opeka, iz opeke šola, v šoli pa že desetletja rastejo nove generacije.
Preden nadaljujete pot, se za trenutek ozrite proti šoli in območju nekdanje izdelave opeke.
Od gline do opeke. Od opeke do šole. Od šole do znanja.
Veselo iskanje!
ENG: From Clay to Knowledge
From this point, you can see two places connected by an interesting story about Bogojina, its community, and its school.
On one side, you can see the area where, according to local oral tradition, bricks were once made, and on the other side stands Bogojina Primary School, built at the beginning of the 1960s.
Bricks made locally
Brickmaking was once an important part of local knowledge in Prekmurje. Small brickmaking sites, often known locally as “ciglence”, made it possible for people to produce building material close to home.
In Bogojina, this kind of community work is also well known from the construction of Plečnik’s church, when villagers themselves helped prepare materials and make bricks.
According to local oral tradition, people are said to have helped in a similar way during the construction of the new school. The bricks are believed to have been made in the very area that you can see from this viewpoint.
A school built for the future
The current building of Bogojina Primary School was constructed in 1961, and classes began there in the 1961/62 school year.
The construction of the new school was a major event for Bogojina. The old school was too small, while the number of children was growing. The new building therefore represented an important step in the development of the village.
And the story continues.
About 65 years later, in 2026, you can witness another chapter in the history of the school from this very point – the construction of a new extension, as the school once again grows and adapts to new generations of pupils.
So, in one view, three periods come together:
clay and handmade bricks,
the school from 1961,
and the new construction in 2026.
Perhaps this is one of the best symbols of the development of the village: from the earth came the brick, from the brick came the school, and within the school new generations have been growing for decades.
Before continuing your journey, take a moment to look towards the school and the former brickmaking area.
From clay to brick. From brick to school. From school to knowledge.
Happy caching! 🧭
Note: The information about bricks being made for the construction of the school is based on local oral tradition; however, the tradition of local brickmaking in Bogojina is historically documented.
