The Marhof elementary school achieved a remarkable success at this year's Archduke-Johan's competition and secured the 3rd place. In a competition that invited all Styrian elementary schools, the students received not only 300 euros in prize money for their impressive project, but also a sweet recognition for their services.

in Stainz, where the Archdow-Johann Museum is based, the pupils of the 4th grade presented their work under the direction of Christiane and Markus Luttenberger. Bildungsdöresrat Werner Amon announced the winners who dealt with the life and work of Archduke Johann, the "Styrian prince". A total of 58 schools took part, with the Marhof elementary school behind the schools in Bad Aussee, Bärnbach and Pöllau in a proud third place.

The project in detail

As part of her presentation in the gymnasium, director Christian Kümmel presented the creative works of the students. These included drawings, posters and two videos that impressively marked the life of Archduke Johann. The children described experiences from his childhood, such as the loss of his parents and his marriage with Anna Plochl. His efforts around nature and people in the country were particularly emphasized. The actors emphasized how important it is to pass on historical knowledge to the younger generation.

The school community received support and recognition from the guests of honor who praised the commitment of the students. Mayor Karl Bohnsting said that the children were convincing in their roles and emphasized the importance of imparting contemporary history in our digital world. "You did a great job!" Said Bohnsting to the young participants.

The interest in the history of Styria and the figure of the Archduke became clear at this event, and the students were able to deal with important aspects of regional history in a playful way. The various presentations showed the variety of talents and the commitment of the younger generation to actively research and present their history. As Franz Merano, the archduke's great -curative coolener, emphasized, the pride in the work done was clearly noticeable for the participants.
