It wasn\u2019t exactly a golden autumn day, but at least the weather held steady on the last Saturday in September, when Steinm\u00fchle celebrated its annual fall festival. The Steinm\u00fchle administration\u2019s overall assessment of the event is positive: The festival brought people together who, in some cases, hadn\u2019t seen each other in a long time\u2014and alongside the fun, artistic, entertaining, and athletic presentations by the current classes, that was definitely the most important aspect of this \u201choliday.\u201d <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“The overall atmosphere was outstanding”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer: \u201cIt was a very peaceful celebration. The overall atmosphere that evening was outstanding. Graduating classes from 1975 to 2025 had fun together, sitting together in a convivial atmosphere, laughing and dancing. I met many parents with their adult children who were celebrating with each other or with friends. \u2014 The Steinm\u00fchle served as our common gathering place.\u201d <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Another step toward mutual understanding”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boarding School Director Anke Muszynski: \u201cOur young people had a wonderful celebration. The goal of fostering a sense of community and growing through challenges is certainly still being fulfilled. Considering that the administrative merger of the boarding school and the school took place not too long ago, it was evident that, at least among the teaching staff, another step toward transparency and mutual understanding has been taken. I find that very heartening.\u201d <\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Information About the Friends of the School Association<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steinm\u00fchle also uses the Fall Festival as an opportunity to share information about the school and boarding school. Members of the school administration are on hand to answer questions from visitors. At the same time, the Friends of Steinm\u00fchle, led by Chairwoman Jasmine Weidenbach, are available to anyone considering membership. What does the Friends Association fund, and where does it provide financial support? \u2014 The Autumn Festival provided the answers in person. <\/p>\n

The same goes for the school parents’ council. There, Chairwoman Bianca Zenker and her team shared a bit of information with everyone. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The boarding school and the school shared responsibilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s interactions among alumni, activities organized by current classes, the presence of parents and siblings, the desire for information, or the extensive food and beverage offerings\u2014with the impressive four-digit number of visitors, excellent organization is essential. This responsibility lies largely with the boarding school, but the school also played a significant role in many areas. <\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amazing: Parents pitched in<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Many people and countless helping hands volunteered their time to prepare for the fall festival. The parents also pitched in\u2014a fact that cannot be praised highly enough, given the positive outcome. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take another look at the beverage concept<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
There\u2019s no denying that the organization can be challenging in some respects. However, that\u2019s not because it\u2019s fundamentally impossible to manage. <\/div>\n
Dirk Konnertz: “The Fall Festival is an event where several generations come together to celebrate, including minors. “The food and beverage aspect needs to be well thought out,” says the managing director of Schule & Internat Steinm\u00fchle. He does not rule out the possibility that the concept may be adjusted slightly over the years to address this aspect. <\/div>\n
\n

This aspect should not be overlooked, but it is by no means the most important one: “The Steinm\u00fchle has shown itself to be a professional, cosmopolitan, and cheerful community, and we are delighted about that.”<\/p>\n
