Outside the city gates

The new primary and secondary school building creates an ensemble of three clearly defined, compact structures, each realised in one construction phase. As a direct neighbour of the listed town centre, the roof shape of the cubes reflects the gabled houses of the medieval town centre. The main entrance, which is orientated towards Schulstrasse, is accessed via a spacious forecourt, which provides an attractive appearance. It features a stage that can be opened up to the outside and can also be used for events and concerts (not only) organised by the school. The main entrance leads to the central circulation axis, from which all areas of the school can be accessed quickly via the staircase in the central section. Also connected to the main entrance is the heart of the school with the assembly hall and canteen, which can be flexibly combined, as well as the library and the areas of the administration that are frequented by visitors. The administrative areas are not connected to the main hall but are linked via the adjoining staircase to the educators' café above and other educators' areas. These areas are broken up by interspersed terraces.
