At Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School, there are always some students who cannot go home during the short breaks. This is especially true for our international students, who are primarily from China. For these students, there is a separate team of educators known as \u201cWelthaus,\u201d which works with the students to plan not only the weekends when the boarding school is closed but also the fall and Easter breaks. The two educators employed for this purpose plan and organize special outings every weekend and during each break. <\/p>\n

Normally, they explore mainly the area around Marburg with their “Welthaus” tour group, but during the fall break, they ventured all the way to the far north of Germany.<\/p>\n

First Stop: The House by the Sea<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first week of vacation, a house right on the beach in Stein near Kiel had been rented for the students. \u201cI really enjoyed being able to drink my coffee by the sea every morning,\u201d says teacher Lena Schneider enthusiastically. And so the group spent their first week close to the sea, spending nights under the vast starry sky or relaxing at the house while watching the many sailboats go by. <\/p>\n

And, of course, a traditional boat tour and a visit to the aquarium in Kiel were a must. With perfect Baltic Sea weather, the students and teachers were able to relax and enjoy the scenery and the vastness of the sea. <\/p>\n

From the Sea to the Edge of the Forest in Hamburg<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the second week, the “Welthaus” tour group moved on to a rented house near Hamburg, located right on the edge of the forest, with its own basketball court, table tennis table, and plenty of nature.<\/p>\n

Along with the visit to Heidepark and the trip to the wax museum after a guided tour of Hamburg, the highlight was definitely the visit to the Chokoversum. Here, the students were able to experience firsthand the entire process\u2014from the cacao plant and its precious beans all the way to chocolate production\u2014and, of course, taste it too! <\/p>\n

“The best part was that at the end, we each got to design our own chocolate bar and take it home!” says educator Philipp Rumpel happily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get out together, experience it together<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Sunday, at the end of the vacation, the Welth\u00e4usler group also traveled together from Hamburg back to Marburg. They had happily celebrated their last evening together in Hamburg over a hot pot dinner. <\/p>\n

“It really did us all a world of good to get away for a while,” says educator Lena Schneider. The two Chinese students standing next to her nod in agreement. They are thrilled to keep discovering new parts of Germany. <\/p>\n

What everyone will remember, I’m sure, are the many shared experiences: the big ones, but also the little things!<\/p>\n
