A School Operation That Turns Heads

Teaching has been taking place at Dachsberg Grammar School for more than 100 years. A 1,200 m² extension with six new classrooms and a sports hall was built to accommodate the ever-increasing number of pupils. 

"The teaching staff at ORG Dachsberg impart more than just traditional classroom knowledge: It's about heart education, ecological education and a sense of democracy. They teach that freedom means making decisions for the good of creation."

Principal P. Ferdinand Karer describes 'his' grammar school in a touching, profound and passionate way.

This mindset suggests that creating an inspiring learning environment was not the only important factor in the extension of the school building. Sustainability and Environmental compatibility played a central role.

Accordingly, the Matulik architectural office worked with a lot of natural wood, which is visible from all sides. Well hidden, our ISOLENA sheep's wool insulation in the gym and in the acoustic ceilings contributes to the success of this innovative construction project.

Rooms with a high quality of stay were created, and grey and green acoustic felt panels were used to ensure good room acoustics and air quality. A successful lighting concept rounds off the room design.

The extension to the former Dachsberg Castle site marks a milestone in the development of the school. The building was constructed with a view to the future and with resource conservation in mind, for this generation and those to come.
