Finally, an autumn festival again! With more guests than before the pandemic, Steinm\u00fchle School and Boarding School celebrated their traditional event last Saturday. Thanks to the excellent organization by Frank Wemme, the head of the lower secondary school, everything ran smoothly and according to plan for the students at their booths and during their performances in the classrooms. Visitors were thrilled by all the activities. Alumni were amazed at how much \u201ctheir Steinm\u00fchle\u201d has changed for the better over the past few years. <\/p>\n

The Steinm\u00fchle has expanded to include several new buildings, giving it a uniform and modern look. The grounds have become more spacious, which meant that the large number of visitors was spread out across the site. There had been some concern beforehand about the weather for the Fall Festival, but those concerns proved unfounded. The autumn sun shone brightly from the sky\u2014as if it knew just how important this festival is to the Steinm\u00fchle community. <\/p>\n

Since good food and drinks are naturally part of a successful and convivial celebration, this aspect was in the capable hands of the boarding school. From coffee and cake to grilled meats and the wine bar, there was a delicious and comprehensive selection of food and drink available. This was complemented by the popular Aroma ice cream truck on the grounds, which\u2014as in previous years\u2014drew long lines of people. The proceeds from the sales are regularly donated. <\/p>\n

Shortly after the opening remarks by Principal Bernd Holly, who welcomed the guests alongside Boarding School Director Anke Muszynski and Nils Schwandt, the stage program got underway. The 6th-grade choir entertained the audience with musical theater songs, followed by the musical theater elective class. Next, the 5th-grade band, the StoneMill House Band, and the Jazz Ensemble took the stage. Starting at 8:00 p.m., DJ Veit kept the party going in the tent. <\/p>\n

More than three dozen booths and activities were spread across the grounds and in some classrooms, and it\u2019s very difficult to single out any particular ones here. Once again, the \u201cChemikum mobil\u201d with its elective research class in front of the Bremerhaus was a crowd-pleaser. The experiment with the \u201cexploding\u201d colorful balls just never loses its appeal! The \u201cChicken Run\u201d on the sports field at the Hessenhaus was a big hit. The goal here was to raise funds for Tanzania, organized and carried out by the elementary school and its team of teachers. Neighboring activities also focused on movement, speed, and agility. The Steinm\u00fchle Riding Club also invited visitors to go pony riding. <\/p>\n

One of the longest lines on the grounds was for the \u201cGhost Train Reloaded\u201d run by Class 7b at the Hessenhaus. The chance to get a real scare\u2014this idea clearly appealed to many guests, both young and old. <\/p>\n

While other activities offered games, fun, and brain teasers, there were also booths that are closely tied to the Steinm\u00fchle School. The Friends of the School Association, chaired by Jasmine Weidenbach, provided information about its important work and invited Fall Festival guests who are not yet members to join. Membership is open at any time, by the way! An information booth for prospective students in the new 1st and 5th grades was set up right at the entrance, under the first awning. Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer and his team were on hand to answer questions and had organized tours of the Centrum 5&6 building. <\/p>\n

In the main building, visitors were able to learn about the vital topic of \u201cCPR.\u201d There, anesthesiologist Markus Spies answered questions, provided instructions on the resuscitation process, and let guests try their hand at it themselves using a mannequin. \u201cIt\u2019s so easy to help\u2014anyone can do it,\u201d he emphasized, reinforcing the campaign\u2019s goal of preventing sudden cardiac death. <\/p>\n

With this in mind, the \u201cStudents Save Lives\u201d campaign (www.schuelerrettenleben.de<\/a>) was launched by the Professional Association of German Anesthesiologists (Berufsverband Deutscher An\u00e4sthesisten e.V.). For several years now, the school has offered an annual summer course on this topic\u2014under professional guidance. Eighth-grade students are taught CPR. The Steinm\u00fchle School is thus playing a pioneering role in Marburg in this area. <\/p>\n
