New comprehensive school for 700 students: 60 million for education in Oberhavel!
A new comprehensive school with a high school level will be built in Mühlenbecker Land, very close to the Schönfließ S-Bahn station. This facility, which will accommodate around 700 students, is scheduled to open in the 2028/29 school year. The district council passed the resolution for this on March 12, 2025, and Education Minister Steffen Freiberg (SPD) handed over the construction notice. The total investment amounts to an impressive 60 million euros. Not only is a new school location being created here, but it is also responding to the increasing need for school places in Oberhavel, which is forecast to reach over 800 places for the 2027/28 school year maz online reported.
The community has also shown a good hand when it comes to the construction plans: existing documents from Velten are used to speed up the construction process. Mayor Filippo Smaldino emphasizes the school's location advantage, which is in close proximity to the S-Bahn. This may be of particular interest to families from surrounding communities who are looking for suitable school options. The parents' decision will depend heavily on the orientation of the new facility.
Intercommunal cooperation and facilities
The new school is not only a project for the students, but also for the residents. Together with the planned school, a sports field and a three-field hall will be created, which will be available to the neighborhood. The idea of inter-communal cooperation is very important here in order to strengthen the community and promote social interaction.
The developments in the education system in Germany are not new. A lot has happened since compulsory education was introduced in Prussia in 1763. Education systems have evolved through cultural and socio-economic processes, which should also be taken into account when planning new schools. Education and school places play a central role in national identity and social integration, as the bpb highlights. It is important that schools ensure access to modern teaching and a wide range of subjects.
Overall, the construction of a new comprehensive school in Mühlenbecker Land is not only a necessity that covers current needs, but also a step into the future of regional education. With 50 classrooms and 30 specialist rooms, the community focuses on quality and diversity in training in order to meet the challenges of a changing education system.
