The first groundbreaking for cloverleaf elementary school in Ludwigsfelde!

Ludwigsfelde, Deutschland - The groundbreaking ceremony for the new cloverleaf elementary school took place in Ludwigsfelde. On July 16, 2025, it was time to gather around ten people, including Mayor Andreas Igel and some city council, at the planned location in the Ahrensdorfer Heide to initiate the symbolic act. This new school building is built in the immediate vicinity of the popular Rousseau Park residential area and is the third primary school that goes into planning within a few months - a clear evidence that the city of Ludwigsfelde has a good hand in terms of education.

The entire investment framework for primary school amounts to an impressive 35 million euros, while the adjacent three-field sports hall costs another 10 million euros. The school is built on a property of almost two hectares and offers space for 525 students in 21 classes. 200 bicycle and 60 parking spaces are also planned, which makes accessibility to the students and their parents considerably easier. A move to the new rooms before the big holidays in the summer of 2027 would be a dream for headmaster Denny Lindemann.

Big steps for education in the region

The decision for the new building was necessary because the redesign of the old school building was out of the question, as Mayor Andreas Igel emphasizes. The city council supports the initiative because the location is optimally close to the residential areas of the students. In addition, this new school building is part of a larger plan to be completed by 2027. The construction work can begin in early 2025, provided the budget will be approved by the city council in November 2024. According to a message from ludwigsfelde.de, the financial resources are now secured, which is a positive turn despite the previous bottlenecks.

The school building project in Ludwigsfelde is one of the largest of its kind in Brandenburg. The household plan 2024 not only provides for the financing of the new primary school, but also considerable investments in own funds, which will increase the total investment volume for all school locations to around 150 million euros. This shows that the city is seriously dealing with the needs of its growing population.

Support from the European Investment Bank

The positive framework for this project is also the support of the European Investment Bank (EIB), which has granted a framework loan over 100 million euros to the State of Brandenburg (ILB). This loan should serve the modernization and digitization of daycare centers and schools across the country. It includes important investments such as IT equipment and training for teachers to improve education in the country. The ILB not only supports public schools, but also private educational institutions in rural regions, which benefits the entire educational infrastructure. This initiative ensures that the students in the state of Brandenburg are optimally prepared for the challenges of the future.

Overall, the new cloverleaf elementary school is a signal that Ludwigsfelde not only reacts to the current educational needs, but also creates future-oriented solutions. With the planned neighborhood center in the new district of Ludwigsdorf, which will include shops and practices, the region is sustainably revitalized. School construction could be a new attraction for young families in the city, and this is not only good for education, but also for the entire community.
