Lüneburg's schools are being renovated: millions are being invested in the future!
There is a lot going on in Lüneburg even during the summer holidays. The school buildings benefit from the time without classes to tackle upcoming structural work. The local building industry has retained a good hand and makes optimal use of this time for repairs and modernizations. Lüneburg Current provides information about what is specifically planned and already started at the various schools.
The first thing to do is work at the Wilhelm Raabe School. The plan here includes painting work, an addition to the fire insulation and the setting up of construction sites for a roof extension. The Johanneum is not spared either. The lightning protection system in the old building will be replaced and a baby changing room will be installed for inclusive measures. The Herderschule will have a new elevator system and a converted foyer, while the IGS Kaltenmoor will also be beautifully spruced up with extensive work on paving areas, windows and the roof.
What awaits us after the holidays?
The construction work doesn’t end with the holidays. The renovation of the attic at the Wilhelm Raabe School will begin in September. Preparations are already underway at the Johanneum for the construction of a new specialist teaching building, which is scheduled for construction in 2026. A highlight for the future is the new upper school center at IGS Kreideberg, which will be equipped with twelve classrooms from the beginning of 2026.
A topic that should not be neglected in this context is the financing of the measures. According to the Lüne blog The Lüneburg district will invest over nine million euros in a total of 17 district-owned schools in 2023. Part of the money, more than four million euros, will go towards the renovation of the vocational schools. The aim is to create appealing and contemporary learning environments for children and young people.
Inclusion in focus
It's not just structural measures that are important; Promoting inclusion also plays a major role. There is still a high exclusion rate in Germany. According to the Bertelsmann Foundation the values in 2022/23 were 4.2%. The path to an inclusive school system is slow and there are often two separate school systems: general schools and special schools. There is still a lot to be done to ensure that all children and young people have equal opportunities in education.
In conclusion, it can be said that the course is being set for positive development in schools in Lüneburg. With targeted investments and a clear focus on inclusion, education is being made fit for the future.
