Mother city celebrates groundbreaking for new children's campus: Big project started!

A big day for the municipality of Mutterstadt! Over 100 guests gathered for the first groundbreaking for the children's campus, which is being built behind the Pestalozzi primary school. Mayor Thorsten Leva opened the event and handed the word to Hans-Dieter Schneider, the former mayor, who described the exciting history of the project. It was a long way that started 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 day care center and a school extension. After the successful architectural competition in 2019 and intensive planning phases by 2023, the building permit was finally granted. The municipality is investing impressive 17.5 million euros in this project, which not only serves the daycare center with seven group rooms and a cafeteria, but also includes eight additional classrooms for the Pestalozzi primary school. Here a new parking area with "Kiss-and-Ride-Zone" will be created to make the traffic safer.

The big groundbreaking

The groundbreaking itself was a ceremony! Children from the daycare center on the old dam were there to actively support the "big ones" at this significant moment. After the greetings from Tobias Klag, the deputy department head of the Ministry of Education, and Bianca Staßen, deputy of the Rhein-Pfalz district, the architect Julie Weber-Bleyle presented the details of the project to visitors. The construction work can now begin after the construction workers have largely cleared the site and have completed the necessary preparatory work such as geothermal drilling.

The intensive cooperation between daycare and school will revolutionize transition management for children and parents. An exciting chapter for mother city that will change the future of childcare and education!
