Kreuzberg in the turmoil: Petition for the rescue of the Reinhardswald primary school!

The Reinhardswald primary school in Berlin-Kreuzberg is about to close. As the petition for the preservation of the school describes, the location is to be closed by February 2028. The school community, consisting of committed parents and teachers, defends itself against this decision, since the school does high -quality educational work despite these challenges. This is particularly relevant because the demand for school places in the region is high, so that there are more registrations than available places.

The positive feedback from secondary schools and the close cooperation with a neighboring high school as part of the French lesson underline the importance of the Reinhardswald primary school. In addition, the school promotes social integration and stable educational biographies through a comprehensive all -day offer and a close connection to supplementary funding.

closure plans and structural defects

like the Tagesspiegel , the school building is strongly asbestous and showed considerable structural defects in particular, in particular in fire protection. The state report provides for a operating license by January 31, 2028, but a new building is sought as a more economic and structurally sensible solution.

The school community has demonstrated since the last school year to fight for the preservation of the location. Despite the ambiguities regarding the realizable new buildings in the area, the district office hopes for a decision before the summer vacation. A planned new building could start up to 430 students, which corresponds to the forecast schoolplane requirement in the area.

engagement of the school community

The Reinhardswald primary school has been part of the network "School without Racism-School with Courage" and is actively involved in racism and exclusion. The school's support association is committed to improving the learning conditions, and the students benefit from a unique concept of school shops that cooperate closely with the school.

Headmistress Karin Jansen-Musolf expressed her dismay about the current situation and announced new protests. Overall, the situation at the Reinhardswald primary school shows how precarious the educational situation is in Berlin, while savings of 39 million euros in many educational institutions, including projects against discrimination, are threatened, as the taz reports.

parents and teachers therefore call for support for the petition to maintain the school. Your initiative aims to secure the diverse educational work and the social commitment of the Reinhardswald primary school for future generations.
