Friedberg: New classrooms by 2028 – This is how things continue at the Augustinian School!
There is reason to be happy in Friedberg: Mayor Kjetil Dahlhaus and District Administrator Jan Weckler have agreed to continue the interim solution for the Augustinian School until March 31, 2028. This will take the form of a two-story mobile space system (MRS), which includes six classrooms and will remain on urban land. The background to this decision is the increased number of students at the Augustinian School, which has established itself as a popular educational institution and is increasingly being chosen as the school of choice fnp.de.
The Wetteraukreis has already invested 1.1 million euros in this interim solution. Although the city of Friedberg has foregone annual income of around 30,000 euros since the mobile room system was built, everyone involved sees the measure as urgently necessary. The existing contract for land use was originally limited to three years and shows that quick action is of great importance in this situation.
Student numbers and construction measures
With the change from G8 to G9 and the steadily increasing number of students, the need for additional classrooms at the Augustinian School arose as early as the 2022/23 school year. The Wetteraukreis has examined various options for finding space and is now planning an extension that will be built on the existing school site. The Goetheplatz remains as a recreational area, reported wetterau.news.
The building application is scheduled to be submitted in 2026, and the actual construction work is scheduled for 2028. “The need for school space is constantly growing and we have to find future-oriented solutions,” says District Administrator Weckler. Planning is already underway behind the scenes and a planning office has drawn up initial drafts.
Traffic changes and challenges
The implementation of the container facility on Goetheplatz also requires a change in traffic routing: the street between Goetheplatz and the school building will become a one-way street in the direction of Schützenrain in order to take the changed situation into account. These additional measures show how complex the project is and the challenges that everyone involved has to overcome states the Brandenberger Ruosch website.
The challenges associated with the continued increase in student numbers and the need for school space should not be underestimated. In many communities, especially medium and small ones, project management and the necessary infrastructure are always under pressure. However, by dealing professionally with a wide range of interests, practical solutions can be achieved that meet the needs of students and teachers.
