Steinm\u00fchle celebrated this latest milestone in June with about 100 invited guests. Representatives from politics, partner institutions, supporters, and those involved in the construction project made their way to Steinm\u00fchle and raised their glasses together to a successful future.  <\/p>\n<p>The Steinm\u00fchle was built\u2014but not just for itself. Unlike any other building on the grounds, the sports hall has been guided by the spirit of cooperation from the very beginning. Notable among these are the German Institute for the Blind (blista), as well as the Blau-Gelb Marburg sports club and other partner institutions, which can book time slots starting at 5:00 p.m. The gym is particularly well-suited for visitors with disabilities who require accessible facilities. In this way, the Steinm\u00fchle takes some of the strain off public buildings and offers new opportunities to people with disabilities.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Physical activity is part of the concept of education,&#8221; said Egon Vaupel, chairman of the board of the Steinm\u00fchle e.V. School Association, who expressed his gratitude on site to everyone involved in the construction as well as to all supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The City of Marburg and the State of Hesse each provided a grant of 300,000 euros. \u201cWe can accept these funds with confidence thanks to this exceptional win-win situation,\u201d explains Dirk Konnertz, the school\u2019s executive director. The Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s own support association, chaired by Jasmine Weidenbach, financed the portable sports equipment with a contribution of 28,000 euros. <\/p>\n<p>The celebration, to which school administrators, boarding school representatives, other members of the school association and the booster club, as well as the sports department, parent representatives, and student representatives were invited, took place in a positive atmosphere despite the gloomy weather. Given the plans for its use, the area in and around the spacious sports hall is likely to become a regular gathering place very soon\u2014for exercise and socializing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is the latest new building\u2014for now\u2014to open on the Steinm\u00fchle grounds following the construction of the Forum and Atrium, as well as the extensive renovation of the main building and the bistro: the new sports hall.
