Rowing for 7th Graders at Lake Eder

In July, the 7th-grade students spent two eventful days at Lake Eder.

Ideal rowing weather, a full lake, and great accommodations—the Marburg University boathouse—provided excellent conditions for the young rowers’ training.

Sports were the focus of this trip well into the late evening hours. Participants worked hard to hone their skills in the various boat classes, and there was plenty of time for soccer and volleyball as well.

The “dream team”—comprising rowing coach Martin Strohmenger, Bundesliga rower Johannes Birkhahn, and head chef Theo Nauheimer, with support provided alternately by students from the University of Marburg and the homeroom teachers—ensured that the week went off smoothly and harmoniously.
