Geismar Primary School explores Eisenach's heritage on Cultural Days trip
Pupils from Geismar Primary School recently visited Eisenach as part of their Cultural Days and local history studies. The trip gave every student the chance to explore the city’s heritage through guided tours and hands-on activities.
The youngest students—first and second graders—toured Wartburg Castle with a special guide: Alba the Wartburg Mouse. They climbed the South Tower, explored the Eselei ascent, and visited the carriage square and castle construction site. Inside the museum, they learned about Saint Elisabeth and Martin Luther’s lives.
Third and fourth graders spent their time at the Bach House. There, they discovered the life and music of Johann Sebastian Bach. The children also got to handle and play historic instruments, making the experience interactive. The entire school travelled together by bus through the Wartburg district. Later, they walked through Eisenach’s historic city centre. Teachers and staff accompanied the trip, including Principal Kathrin Rübsam, educators Petra Hartmann, Silvana Pischko, and Susann Stumpf, as well as teachers Johanna Block, Cornelia Schleifer, Nina Krug, Doreen Heller, and Kerstin Rothe.
The visit gave students a mix of learning and exploration. They engaged with history through stories, music, and hands-on experiences. The trip formed part of the school’s wider efforts to connect classroom lessons with real-world heritage.
