More space needed: Giengen School of Music now also teaches at Mountain School

The topic is not new: the sometimes narrow spatial conditions of the Margarete-Steiff-Gymnasium meet the needs of the Giengen music school to a limited extent. The solution, which was never intended to last forever, has now been around for a relatively long time. As a result of a good exchange between the city administration and the head of the music school, Marion Zenker, additional rooms are now being used in the mountain school, which have been occupied for the new school year. “We know our music school needs more space,” says Mayor Dieter Henle. “The stated goal of our five-star strategy is to give her a beautiful, sustainable home in the center of our city.”

New mid-range solution

In previous urban change and development processes, no corresponding options have emerged for this purpose. According to Henle, the second best solution, just to make something happen as quickly as possible, does not meet the requirements of the city or the requirements of the music school. And this is the right thing to do: the library’s approach has been similarly consistent; There is now a beautiful solution, central location and consistently convincing in the middle of Marktstrasse.

“For now, there are options that will be ready for occupancy in the medium term,” Henle says. There is a music school solution that will be quite suitable in terms of style, location and size. “We are actively working to ensure that the music school benefits from this development. It is an integrative and important component of our city’s culture, and therefore occupies an important place in conceptual considerations,” says the mayor.
