Construction begins for the new "Regenbogen" day care center replacement

In the heart of Schönwalde I/Südstadt district, construction work is underway for a modern and eco-friendly kindergarten. The new facility, spanning approximately 2,000 square meters, is being built on the same plot of land next to the current building on Ernsthofer Wende.

The groundbreaking ceremony for this exciting project took place today, with some children participating in the event. The new kindergarten is set to replace an existing one from the 1970s that no longer meets modern building and fire safety standards.

The first phase of the construction will be completed by November 2026. This phase will include the creation of modern group rooms for toddlers and kindergarten-aged children. The new kindergarten will accommodate up to 172 children, including 60 toddlers and 112 kindergarten-aged children.

As a "movement kindergarten," the new facility will feature a large sports and yoga room, providing ample opportunities for physical activity. Outdoor movement activities are also planned, ensuring children have a balanced and active learning environment.

In line with the city's commitment to sustainability, the new building will be the first municipal kindergarten in the city to be constructed using sustainable timber framing. However, the architect or planning firm responsible for this innovative design is not yet specified in the available information.

The second phase of the construction, scheduled to begin in early 2027, will include a single-story addition housing a sports room and a fresh kitchen with a cafeteria. Completion is scheduled for November 2027.

The new kindergarten will boast a fresh kitchen with a cafeteria, ensuring children have access to nutritious meals throughout the day. With its modern facilities, focus on movement, and commitment to sustainability, the new kindergarten in Schönwalde I/Südstadt is set to provide a wonderful learning environment for the city's youngest residents.

Children in the area are already watching the construction work with anticipation, eagerly awaiting the opening of their new facility. As the project progresses, the community looks forward to welcoming this modern and eco-friendly kindergarten to Schönwalde I/Südstadt.
