Elementary school at the shaft in Grossenhain closed due to hygiene flops!

On Wednesday, June 5, 2025, the elementary school at Schacht in Grossenhain was closed at short notice due to serious hygienic problems. This reports the Sächsische Zeitung . The main reason for the closure was unusual cleaning, bad smells and overflowing wastebasket. In order to ensure the safety of the students, the lessons were given outdoors for children who could not be picked up.

The cleaning company carried out an emergency cleaning on the same day. However, the lessons are to be recorded regularly on Thursday. These problems are not new; Dissatisfaction with the cleaning performance has been around both the primary school and at the neighboring high school. Therefore, the city has decided to rewrite basic cleaning from August in order to improve quality and to ensure hygiene.

flying competition and grants

parallel to the problems in primary school, there is an aviation competition at the glider airfield in the Riesa district of Canitz, which begins on June 5 and lasts until the end of the week. 75 aircraft from all over Germany are registered. Thursday was scheduled as a training day, and evaluations follow. However, the weather can affect flights, which also presents the organizers with challenges.

In another context, it is pointed out that the Free State of Saxony will shorten the grants for narrow -gauge railways by ten percent, which also has an impact on the Lößnitz Grundbahn. In the future, the last pair of train of the day will only drive on weekends and public holidays in the summer season. In addition, the company breaks for necessary construction work in November.

hygiene and cleaning standards in schools

The problems with building cleaning are also relevant at the state level. The district office is working on solutions for the challenges in the cleaning quality of district's own buildings. In the summer of 2024, the cleaning performance was newly advertised across Europe. The aim is to improve cleaning quality instead of just selecting the cheapest provider. The surcharge went to the Wackler Service Group, which provides for more cleaning time per building than the previous providers. This tender was necessary due to the procurement law, which does not allow any extension of existing contracts.

The DIN-NORM 77400 Specifies minimum requirements for cleaning in schools and sports facilities, including cleaning intervals and hygiene plans. This standard is intended to secure a hygienic learning environment that promotes the well -being of the students and at the same time protects resources. A regular cleaning and hygiene plan is mandatory for every school management. These requirements are intended to ensure that a minimum level of school cleaning is guaranteed regardless of the budget.

Currently it is observed that not only new providers are confronted with bottlenecks, but also existing companies, which indicates an industry -wide problem. The district office appeals to the public, understanding and patience, while working on fast solutions is to restore the cleaning quality.
