Dortmund builds four new schools for young generation at lightning speed!

Dortmund faces a significant increase in student registrations for comprehensive schools and high schools. The existing schools already reach their capacity limits, which leads to an urgent need for action. In particular for the school year 2027/2028, 19 complete school trains are required at secondary schools in the fifth year, reports Ruhr24 .

In order to meet this growing challenge, the city of Dortmund is planning to build four new schools - both comprehensive schools and high schools. Two of these schools have already been decided by the city council, while further decisions about locations and costs are to be made next July. The construction should take place at a record pace, the city explains because the youngest of the city also earn their future.

strategies for school development

In addition to the new school buildings, the city of Dortmund has created a new staff called "Dortmund 2035". This will take over the coordination of the projects to ensure a smooth process. In order to comply with the schedule, the city plans to have several offices working on the respective projects at the same time. It is expected that changes in the planning can be incorporated.

In order to bridge the acute shortage of space, Dortmund relies on mobile spatial units as transition solutions. A total of twelve suitable areas are currently being sought, four of which are planned for new schools, four for mobile transition solutions and four as reserve. The latest number of registrations show that the existing capacities are not sufficient, since many schools have already set up additional classes, wherever this is structurally possible. dortmund.de emphasizes that the city also invests in the future of children and young people.

exemplary school projects

An example of the innovative school building policy in Dortmund is the extension of the Reinoldi comprehensive school, which was built in a modular design within just 13 months. The construction work began in February 2023 and were completed in March 2024 with the handover of the keys, whereby the cost of the project was 27.7 million euros. The Reinoldi Comprehensive School, which was already fully booked in its first year of four-way, represents the eleventh comprehensive school in Dortmund.

The extension is equipped with a modern room concept, high -quality school furniture and advanced technology. In addition, environmentally friendly elements such as a green facade of 184 square meters and a green roof with a photovoltaic system (53 kWp) were integrated. These sustainable measures and the clear, light-flooded design are part of a targeted effort to meet the requirements of the students and to support the trend towards comprehensive schools, emphasizes Students Monika Nienaber-Willaredt. dortmund.de reports on these groundbreaking developments.
