The school and boarding school on one side, and Marburg\u2019s largest sports club on the other, signed an agreement to that effect. <\/p>\n<p>It had recently become clear that something was in the works. A large new sign at the Blau-Gelb sports field on Marburg\u2019s Zwetschenweg highlights the partnership between Steinm\u00fchle and Blau-Gelb. &#8220;It hasn&#8217;t been up for very long,&#8221; Egon Vaupel revealed. &#8220;But we managed to get it ready in time for the press event.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<p>When you realize that Egon Vaupel is not only the chairman of the Steinm\u00fchle School Association but also of the Blau-Gelb soccer division, a lot of things become clearer. It explains how the approximately 1,350 club members and the 745 Steinm\u00fchle students could have overlapped. The fact that Blau-Gelb chairman Dr. Anton Schm\u00f6lz is also the legal advisor to the Steinm\u00fchle School Association ties everything together. Both sides recognized areas in need of improvement that could be resolved together: more space for sports, more rooms for training, and greater variety in the sports programs offered.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Shared Worldview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The existing common ground of openness to the world, mutual respect, and tolerance made it relatively easy to decide to collaborate, explained Principal Bernd Holly. He, Dirk Konnertz, executive director of the school association; Michael Neirich, head of school sports; and Georg Ritter, executive director of the boarding school, are pleased with the very concrete benefits and expanded offerings that come with the partnership: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Blau-Gelb Sports Club allows Steinm\u00fchle to use its sports field on Zwetschenweg outside of its own game and practice times to prepare for school competitions.<\/li>\n<li>The sports club allows Steinm\u00fchle students to participate, without red tape, in training sessions and, where applicable, games for all age groups in all sports offered.<\/li>\n<li>Plans for new sports facilities are to be developed jointly. With regard to funding issues, the parties intend to present a united front to potential funding sources. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharing Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In return, Steinm\u00fchle makes its sports facilities available to the BG youth soccer players during set training times, as well as its training rooms for continuing education courses for youth coaches. The beach volleyball and basketball courts may also be used. Steinm\u00fchle promotes Blau-Gelb\u2019s summer camps, and in return, Steinm\u00fchle students can attend the camps. Joint sports festivals are also to be held on the Steinm\u00fchle grounds. Steinm\u00fchle and the sports club unanimously agreed that they want to arrange practice games between the school teams and Blau-Gelb\u2019s youth teams in the near future. At the signing of the agreement, all parties agreed that this cooperation marks the beginning of a successful partnership.     <\/p>\n<p>To formally launch the cooperation agreement, the following individuals met: Egon Vaupel (Chairman of the Steinm\u00fchle Marburg School Association), Michael Neirich (School Sports Director), Bernd Holly (Principal of Steinm\u00fchle), Dr. Anton Schm\u00f6lz (Chairman of Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg), Georg Ritter (Managing Director of the Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School), Dirk Konnertz (Managing Director of the Steinm\u00fchle Marburg School Association), Thomas Koch (Youth Director of Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg), and Daniel Goy (Head of the Women\u2019s Soccer Department at Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg). Sportfreunde Blau-Gelb Marburg is the largest soccer club in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47417\" style=\"width: 3553px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47417\" class=\"wp-image-19201 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3543\" height=\"2362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-scaled.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-24x16.jpg 24w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-36x24.jpg 36w, https:\/\/steinmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/11\/thrSFBGmarburgSteinmuehle2-48x32.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3543px) 100vw, 3543px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-47417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Signing of the cooperation agreement between SF\/BG Marburg and Steinm\u00fchle.
