Mutterstadt celebrates the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Children’s Campus: Big project started!
A big day for the community of Mutterstadt! Over 100 guests gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony for the Children's Campus, which is being built behind the Pestalozzi Elementary School. Mayor Thorsten Leva opened the event and handed over the floor to Hans-Dieter Schneider, the former mayor, who described the exciting history of the project. It has been a long journey that began more than a decade ago, when the need for additional kindergarten places and school rooms became increasingly clear.
The location of the former building yard was considered ideal to create a new daycare center and a school expansion. After the successful architectural competition in 2019 and intensive planning phases until 2023, building permit was finally granted. The municipality is investing an impressive 17.5 million euros in this project, which not only serves the KITA with seven group rooms and a cafeteria, but also includes eight additional classrooms for the Pestalozzi elementary school. A new parking area with a “kiss-and-ride zone” will be created here to make traffic safer.
The big groundbreaking ceremony
The groundbreaking itself was a celebration! Children from the Am Alten Damm daycare center were there to actively support the “big ones” during this important moment. After the greetings from Tobias Klag, deputy head of the Ministry of Education, and Bianca Staßen, alderman of the Rhine-Palatinate district, the architect Julie Weber-Bleyle presented the details of the project to the visitors. Construction work can now begin after the construction yard employees have largely cleared the site and completed the necessary preparatory work such as geothermal drilling.
The intensive collaboration between KITA and school will revolutionize transition management for children and parents. An exciting chapter for Mother City that will forever change the future of child care and education!
