Grabow celebrates the opening of the modern Rohr School after 5 years!

The schools in Grabow can look forward to: After a long construction period of five years, the regional school Friedrich Rohr was officially opened today. Mayor Kathleen Bartels was relieved by the completion of the project, which was heavily burdened by the challenges of Corona and delivery bottlenecks. The new cafeteria area has been inaugurated in the comprehensive construction work, but the moves into the new rooms are still not completed.

The idea for the expansion of the school, which is now known as Friedrich Rohr, goes back to the years 2016 and 2017, as the first considerations. Right from the start, teachers and students were actively involved. The monument protection requirements required special requirements for the cultivation, which should harmoniously complement the old architecture. For this, a funding application was made in September 2017, followed by a building application two years later. The building permit came in February 2020, and the construction work started in April 2021. Significant construction work was finally completed in May 2023

investments and challenges

The total costs for the modernization and the expansion of the school amount to around 4 million euros. Around 3.7 million euros were recognized as eligible. The city of Grabow benefited from 100 percent funding, while around one million euros had to remain on site. These financial aspects are also to be considered in the context of the current school building funding, which are funded by federal states such as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in order to build modern school buildings and to renovate existing ones, such as Education server reported.

The headmaster Dennis Iffländer emphasizes that the new school now has modern classrooms with glass walls, smartboards and a quick fiber optic connection. These technical innovations are part of a trend that increases in Germany to make schools modern and functional. The approach to the construction and renovation of schools is increasingly followed by contemporary educational criteria to enable inclusive and individual lessons. The Federal Center for Political Education emphasizes the flexibility of the new spatial concepts that offer far more than the traditional Frontal lessons.

future of school

Currently 285 children are taught at the school, and it is forecast that this number could increase to over 300 in the next school year. The facility is particularly committed to professional orientation, the fight against racism and the promotion of courage, which underlines the commitment to modern training and education. These approaches are not only important locally, but also reflect a larger trend in Germany where school authorities are required to carry out both new buildings and renovations.

The challenges in school building are similar for many municipalities, be it in Grabow or elsewhere. The integration of educational goals into the planning and inclusion of everyone involved are key factors for the success of such projects. But despite all the difficulties, the end of the construction work is now in sight, and the new school in Grabow can open the doors to the future generations. It remains exciting to see how the future development of this facility will be.
