Refurbishment of the gym in Kirchdorf: A milestone for the school

in Kirchdorf there is reason to be happy: The gym at the primary school can finally be used again for club sports after extensive renovation work. This renovation, which aimed at improving energetic efficiency, was realized in a complex process and is now available to the local sports clubs.

The renovation was decided over ten years ago after the school landscape in the velvet community was restructured. The district and the Samtgemeinde Kirchdorf shared the costs because the classes of the high school had moved to Varrel. Originally, the search for funding was extremely difficult, which delayed the work several times. But in 2022 there was finally the right opportunity and the last formalities were clarified at the beginning of this year, which made it possible to start the work in spring.

The details of the renovation

The total costs of the renovation amounted to around 625,000 euros. Ina Schreiner from the building authority of the Samtgemeinde reported that the work remained in the framework of the budget, which is considered great success. Mayor Heinrich Kammacher pointed out that the renovation had primarily energetic backgrounds, which is of particular importance in the present time.

The gymnasium now shines in a new light, which is available through modern LED lighting, and the installation of a new heating system ensures a more pleasant training atmosphere. "We worked on it for a long time," said Kammacher, "and I hope that the work was out of satisfaction." The halls are now ready for the sporting activities of the community.

In a meeting of the school committee, there were also talk about various other projects and the partial budget for the “School” area. Headmistress Katrin Gerken and the committee thanked the director Edeltraud Dummeyer-Müller for their commitment, which meant that all children of the primary school received driving chips for the Kirchdorf autumn market. The college plans to start the cultivation work at primary school in 2024 when the weather is played.

The number of students at primary school is currently on 259 children who are taught in twelve classes. This shows a stable trend in the number of students, which underlines the need for additional space.

Other topics in the school committee also included digitization and promoting swimming lessons, so that all children are given the opportunity to learn to swim. For this purpose, swimming trips were organized to ensure access to suitable swimming systems.

With the reopening of the gymnasium in Kirchdorf, a piece of normality also returns to the sporting activities of the local clubs, both in the children and in the adult area. The coming months promise exciting opportunities for the sports community of the region, and everyone involved is looking forward to training in the newly renovated hall.
