Century project Bertha-Benz School: A building full of future visions!

Sigmaringen, Deutschland - In Sigmaringen, a masterpiece of education is created: The new Bertha Benz School, which is estimated at more than 113 million euros, is on the best way to be completed by September 2025. Helmut Göppel-Wentz, head of the properties and technology department in the district office in Sigmaringen, is optimistic. "We are very confident that it will succeed," he says. Every day, between 150 and 200 workers are employed on the large construction site, which underlines rapid progress. Even if the number of students at vocational schools has declined in recent years, he thinks the new school is a turn. "It will be different with this school," says Göppel-Wentz full of confidence when he shows the actively built rooms.

Special attention is also on the equipment of the school. A modern cafeteria and a teacher cafeteria with a sun terrace are planned, which should offer teachers and students a pleasant environment. For more than 1300 students, not only classrooms, but also a bus stop are built, for which the district and the city of Sigmaringen share the costs. Due to the challenges in the search for a suitable caterer for the cafeteria, Göppel-Wentz calls the procurement of the caterer as "our biggest challenge until September". These modern amenities should ensure that the school remains an attraction for students.

training in focus

The Bertha-Benz School is not only a building, but also a place for professional future. The vocational school works with various training companies in partnership and trains young people in numerous training areas technically and interested in art, as reports the website of the school . The students not only receive the necessary theoretical knowledge for the journeyman's examination, but also have the option of further training for higher degrees such as masters or technicians. This is done in a flexible teaching model that includes part-time or block lessons. The close integration of theory and practice prepares the students optimally for the requirements of the labor market.
