Great success at the Language Festival 2025: Winners from Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt!
What a magnificent festival of languages! At the 34th Language Festival of the Federal Foreign Languages Competition, which took place on June 25th in Schwerin, the student groups from two federal states particularly shined. The two winning teams, the Matthias-Claudius-Gymnasium from Gehrden and the Liborius-Gymnasium from Dessau-Roßlau, impressed the jury with their creative, English-language contributions.
None other than the patron of the competition, Simone Oldenburg, Minister for Education and Child Care in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, presented the prizes in the festive Golden Hall of the Neustädtisches Palais. As the first source reports, a total of around 1,900 teams with over 10,000 students impressed the audience with a colorful mix of foreign language plays, films and radio plays.
A look at the award winners
In total, six second and eleven third prizes were awarded as part of the competition, in which the best entries reached the grand final. The lucky runners-up include teams from:
- Dante-Gymnasium München (Bayern)
- Mariengymnasium Werl (NRW)
- Landesschule Pforta in Naumburg (Sachsen-Anhalt)

The third award ceremony also had a wide spread: teams from Bremen, Berlin, Bavaria, Hamburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Saarland and a German school in Porto were among the winners.
The French contribution “Pas Silencieux” from the Oskar-von-Miller-Gymnasium was particularly praised, receiving a special prize from the student jury.

Around 15,000 participants come every year to show their talent and explore new horizons.
