On November 24, 2015, Mr. Klaus Heiner Weber was a guest at an expanded school administration meeting. The school administration had two expectations of Mr. Weber, who had served as a school inspector in Hesse for many years: first, he was to help place Steinmühle in the context of high-performing schools in Hesse and provide […]
With its elective model, Steinmühle is the only school in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district to offer both the G9 and G8 tracks. A key feature of the model is the flexible 10th grade for G9 students, which will be implemented for the first time in the 2016–17 school year. We plan to organize this flexible 10th […]
This year’s Cultural Evening took place on November 26. It featured a particularly varied program this year. There was a radio play—by Ms. Fries’s 7th-grade class—self-written autumn poems illustrated with projected shadow puppets—also by Ms. Fries’s 7th-grade class—and a theater trailer—by Mr. Ullwer’s Q1 class—which offered a preview of an exciting performance coming this spring.

This year’s Steinmühlen Soccer Tournament was held for the first time under a new format. The seven participating teams—comprising students from the day school (grades 8–12) and teachers, as well as students from the boarding school and their counselors—were grouped together by random draw before the tournament began. As a result, the field of participants […]
Once again, the music department didn’t really have to worry about getting a wind instrument class off the ground for this fifth-grade class. In September, the instruments were handed out, and by now everyone has had a chance to get familiar with them. During the first “orchestra rehearsals” with Ms. Wilmsmeyer, the first melodious notes […]
Steinmühle had invited people to information sessions in early November, which generated a great deal of interest. At the information session on November 4, the school administration presented the structure of Steinmühle to interested parents and provided details about its unique features. On November 7, parents and children were given a tour of the school […]
It had been clear since the spring of 2015: Steinmühle would take in young refugees to give them the opportunity to gain a foothold in our educational system.
