Change in the Stadelschwarzach kindergarten: New carrier from 2025!

From January 1, 2025, the kindergarten in Stadelschwarzach will be under new management! The Johannisverein gives up its voluntary sponsorship and hands over responsibility to the Elisabethenheimverein Würzburg. This unmistakable decision was made unanimously by the 25 members present at an extraordinary general meeting. In the future, the Johannisverein will be committed as a support association and support the daycare center while a new board committee is leading the fortunes.

Currently 60 children visit the kindergarten, which ranges from the crib to homework supervision. But the challenges associated with the volunteer management of such a facility are enormous! Marion Hofmann, the previous chairwoman, explained the reasons for this brave step: After ten years at the top, it has become frustrating to run the organization, especially since there is no successor. Therefore, the handover has been prepared for about a year to secure the resistance of the facility.

church and city looking for solutions

The story becomes more exciting: The kindergarten building built in 1991 is owned by the Stadelschwarzach church foundation, and Pastor Matthias Eller was present at the meeting. He confirmed that suggestions for replacement have already been submitted to the city of Prichsenstadt, with the topics of lease and rent being on the table. However, the financial aspects seem to be problematic, according to City Councilor Harald Rückert, these are probably too high for the city. An urgent meeting between the city and the church is now being sought!

Pastor Eller was optimistic: "We will agree, I think we can do it!" The city is clearly interested in preserving the kindergarten, said Mayor René Schlehr. After this appropriate exchange, the new board of the Johannisverein was also elected, which will come into office from January 1. Karl Treptow takes the lead, with Claudia Kern as deputy, Johanna Gerlach as treasurer, and Katja Königer as secretary. Other assessors are Bianca Götz, Katharina Berthel, Kerstin Schrenk, Sarah Fick and Carola Zehner. An exciting new chapter for kindergarten in Stadelschwarzach begins!
