Fall Festival 2015

At the Fall Festival on September 26, there was once again a wide variety of activities, including physical activities, presentations, games, all kinds of food and drinks, and a great musical program on the schoolyard stage.

In addition to the diverse culinary offerings, here are just a few highlights: the LEGO Mindstorms robot from the WU Computer Science department, the soccer speed measurement system from class 10d, the spectacular chemistry lab from the 11th-grade advanced chemistry class, the climbing wall in the gym, the chess course from the chess club, and … and … and …

Several musical groups helped create a great atmosphere at the festival grounds: “Bläserklasse 6,” “Talea Funk & Evelyn Damer,” the international group “Michael Wever – WU,” the “Stonemill Houseband,” and the “Coutch Potatoes.”

The highlight of this year’s Fall Festival was the unveiling of a new work of art that will greet all visitors to Steinmühle at the Forum in the future: two half-boats arranged in a new configuration—a work of art that immediately captures the viewer’s attention. Ms. Vielhaben received plenty of compliments for her work.

Rowing was another highlight of the Fall Festival. Two new rowing boats were christened by Björn Backes, head of the sports department, and outgoing District President Lars Witteck, and money was raised (through a raffle) to support Lucas Schäfer’s Olympic aspirations.

As is tradition, the evening was filled with socializing, reminiscing, and joyful celebrations. The boarding school’s kitchen provided the culinary delights, while “The Suited” and the senior citizens’ band “The Savage,” featuring Michael Wever, provided musical entertainment for the guests.
