Between 1880 and 1913, the Pestalozzi School was built in three construction phases. The accelerated growth of the community until the First World War necessitated the gradual expansion of the school. The oldest part is located in the southern area of the deep property. Visible from the street is the representative facade of the wing built in neoclassical forms in 1912/13. Centrally located in the keystone above the arched entrance portal is the sculpted portrait of the educator Heinrich Pestalozzi, and above it is an allegorical relief depicting children with a bee and a fruit basket. Originally, a public bath was housed in the base floor. From the spacious ground floor hall, where a marble wall fountain flanked by benches is installed, one accesses seven classrooms.
For the construction of the Pestalozzi School, the baroque inn "Zum Ochsen" had to be demolished, which had been the residence of Anton Otto von Cloß in the early 18th century. The Palatinate colonel had settled in Nieder-Ingelheim after the end of his military career and gradually acquired land of over 100 acres. In his will, he bequeathed many communities with charitable foundations for the poor. The Jesuit mission was established in Nieder-Ingelheim, which daily issued 30 kreuzers and a loaf of bread for the poor and travelers. The charitable institution existed until the inflation after the First World War.
