What Max-Eyth-Schule does
Max-Eyth-Schule (MES) is a public state-funded vocational school (Berufliche Schule) located in Dreieich, Kreis Offenbach, Hesse, Germany, operating within the shared Haus des lebenslangen Lernens (HLL) campus alongside the Volkshochschule and other educational providers. The institution is overseen by the Staatliches Schulamt für den Landkreis Offenbach und is fully funded by the Hessisches Kultusministerium; it charges no tuition and serves youth in the eastern Rhein-Main area. Its core offering spans seven integrated school forms: Berufliches Gymnasium (leading to the Abitur in Wirtschaftslehre, Maschinenbau, Informatik, and Biotechnik, with a bilingual German-English economics track introduced in 2022/2023), Fachoberschule (Fachhochschulreife in Maschinenbau, Gesundheit, Informatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik, Wirtschaft), Berufsschule (part-time vocational schooling for apprentices in automotive, commercial, healthcare, and hairdressing trades), two-year Berufsfachschule, BVJ/BOJ pre-vocational and orientation years, and InteA integration classes for immigrant and refugee youth (with the regional ABZ Aufnahme- und Beratungs-Zentrum co-located on campus).
The school runs a standard Hessian digital infrastructure stack — WebUntis (timetable/substitution plan), Schulportal Hessen, and Moodle Hessen (LMS) — supplemented by an in-house podcast channel, an official Instagram account (@mes_dreieich, launched September 2022), a self-learning centre co-located with the Stadtteilbücherei Dreieich, and a student-operated MES-to-go school kiosk. Specialized infrastructure includes a 676-module solar installation on the HLL rooftop (funded by Hannover Leasing/CORESTATE, operated by Enviria Energy) covering approximately 30% of building electricity needs and saving an estimated 160 tonnes of CO2 annually. The business model is direct-to-government: 100% of operating revenue comes from the Hessian state education budget with no commercial monetization, supplemented by nominal student contributions for materials, a Mensa service, and external grants channeled through the Förderverein support association.
The institution has 79 employees and is led by Schulleiter Harald Köster (principal since 2021, following the retirement of Wolf Dieter Gäbert after 37 years). MES holds Fairtrade-Schule certification (since 2018, recertified 2020), Digitale Schule status (2017, 2022), and the European Innovative Teaching Award 2022, and its graduates have received the regional VINCENT-Preis for MINT achievement in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2026. Complementary student support services include QuABB Ausbildungsbegleiter (apprenticeship counseling), the annual Markt der Möglichkeiten career fair, Azubitalk employer visits, and Erasmus+ international mobility programs with partner schools in Istanbul, Galicia (Spain), Tomelloso (Spain), and Duisburg.
