Figure 7 - THE ARCHITECTURE OF SCHOOLS IN BANJA LUKA BUILT IN 1878-1918

Ober-Realgymnasium in Banja Luka; elevation view from the south, main façade [9:table 2] Several add-ons were built: first in 1903, then also in 1931. After the partial destruction during the German air force bomb attacks in WWII on 24th and 25th September 1944, building was reconstructed in 1946-1947, under supervision by Ljubica Babić-Goldner. [12:67] The gymnasium was working without problems until 27th October 1969 and the devastating earthquake. It suffered substantial volume of damage and it was completely torn down on 31st January 1970. [13:30-31] After analysis and thorough research [14, 15, 16, 17, 18] it can be concluded that main project for Gymnasium building is actually an adaptation of a project for Gymnasium in Sarajevo, done by famous architects Karel Pařik, August Butscha and Karl Panek. Karel Pařik had substantial architectural production in Sarajevo at the time of occupation and annexation of Bosnia but also in the time of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians. [5:52-53] A floor plan analysis does not give us information about similarities in these two projects because of differences in a backside facilities' design, but a further comparison of the façades and used details to definitely give us enough right to deny the originality of architectural design for Gymnasium in Banja Luka. Also, some other designs were under influence of Karel Pařik, like Higher school for girls in Sarajevo by Karl Panek in 1893 and the School for Serb boys and girls in Sarajevo in 1897 by Ludwig Huber. [19:22] However, that fact does not degrade the importance of the project and a facility itself. Some authors give higher importance to this building and grade its value higher than the University of Banja Luka founding some 80 years after that moment. [9:16] The project was done by Austrian architect and technician M. V. Vitzinger and V. Brückner. [12:65] Construction works started in 1892 and were led by Hypolit Pokorný, Chech construction manager. [9:16] On 1st March 1898 western wing and part of the central corpus were finally completed, but they could hardly handle the number of pupils that were supposed to attend the school. In 1903 central corpus and part of the eastern wing were added on, therefore making the floor plan in F shape. Some authors [12:68] mention architect Josip Blažeković as the
