Survey of 2,250 young people: Steinmühle is in the lead - Steinmühle

In a survey of 2,250 Marburg students, in which they were asked to evaluate their secondary school based on specific criteria, Steinmühle came out on top: It ranked first in terms of food, media facilities, Wi-Fi, school restrooms, and overall condition.

Investigation Initiated by the Children’s and Youth Parliament

The large-scale study was launched in the summer of 2023 by the Children and Youth Parliament (KiJuPa) of the university city of Marburg. The study was motivated by a desire to answer the question of what young people need and what they hope for in their lives in Marburg.

The young people were surveyed not only on the topic of school and education, but also on topics such as politics and civic engagement, transportation and mobility, leisure, media and digitalization, safety, discrimination, and the future.

With the support of two experts

With support from Philipps University, KiJuPa analyzed the survey results on its own. With Prof. Dr. Ivo Züchner from the Department of Education and Philipp Klingler from the Institute of Political Science, KiJuPa had two experts at its side who guided them through the survey “jungle,” explained complex issues in a clear and understandable way, and gave everyone a crash course in research methodology.

Steinmühlen Principal Praises the School’s Supporting Association

“The outstanding results for Steinmühle give me reason to extend my heartfelt thanks to the School Association on behalf of the school administration team!” commented Steinmühle Principal Björn Gemmer on the survey results. “As the school’s governing body, the School Association provides nearly ideal conditions for our students—far better than the (once) financially strong public school system is able or willing to do,” he said, praising the dedication of School Association Chairman Egon Vaupel, his deputy Gerhard Müller, and Steinmühle Managing Director Dirk Konnertz.
