Students should relocate upon commencement of school
The Integrated Comprehensive School (IGS) Süd in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen is set to relocate after years of strain and a deteriorated condition that has made the school premises unsafe for continued use. The move is due to unsafe conditions in the old building, a common procedure in cases where school buildings face serious structural degradation or safety hazards.
School principal Uwe Gehrmann has expressed his hope that the school can move out of the current building immediately, as the building is so deteriorated that students will need to move to a new location after the summer holidays. In an interview with a local reporter, Gehrmann stated that the school is not a suitable place for young people to grow and thrive.
The new location for grades five to seven has been specified as the Bockenheim district, which is five kilometers away. The city has confirmed this report, initially reported by FAZ. The city is now responsible for preparing sports lessons, organizing catering, and providing the appropriate equipment for the new location. A bus shuttle will be set up for the students to travel between the old and new locations.
Hundreds of support pillars and cracks in the walls are present in the school, and the renovation of the main building at IGS Süd in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen has been postponed for many years. The city's statement reveals that the prescribed load-bearing capacity of the concrete ceilings, even in classrooms, cannot be conclusively proven.
School principal Uwe Gehrmann has formally pleaded for help before the holidays, and the city must now prepare for the move. This relocation marks a significant change for the students and staff of IGS Süd, but it is a necessary step to ensure their safety and well-being. As the city prepares for the new school year, the focus will be on creating a welcoming and safe environment for the students in their new location.
Education-and-self-development are crucial aspects that the school's relocation aims to provide for its students. With the move to the Bockenheim district, IGS Süd seeks to create a safer and more conducive environment for the growth and expansion of its students, ensuring their well-being and future success.
