Pestalozzischule

What Pestalozzischule does

Pestalozzischule is a state-run primary school (Grundschule) located at Am Sportfeld 9 in Lampertheim, Hesse, Germany, administered by the Kreis Bergstraße district authority (Der Kreisausschuss / Der Landrat). It delivers compulsory public primary education for grades 1 through 4, supplemented by a Vorklasse (preparatory class), Vorlaufkurs (preparatory course), and Intensivklasse (intensive class) to support children requiring additional readiness or language preparation before or alongside standard enrollment. The principal is Michaela Ohse-Beck, with Münzberg as deputy principal.

The school's service portfolio extends beyond classroom instruction. Social-pedagogical support is delivered via UBUS staff (Eisengräber and Leibold), who provide student, parent, and teacher counseling plus conflict resolution. The Pausenengel program trains 4th-grade students, mentored by UBUS staff, to act as peer mediators during recess, promoting civil courage and integration. An on-site school library (Bücherei) operates daily during the first long break. The Eltern-Kind-Café runs four transition sessions for incoming families, using mascots Frida and Fredo. After-school care (Nachmittagsbetreuung) is delivered by partner Lernmobil Viernheim. Extracurricular activity includes participation in the Känguru and Pangea mathematics competitions, seasonal reading competitions (96 participants at Easter, 73 at Christmas), athletics meets in Bensheim, and membership in the Forschernetzwerk Lampertheim research network.

Commercially, the school charges no tuition; funding flows from Hessian state and Kreis Bergstraße public budgets. The only fee-bearing element is the Förderverein 'Hand in Hand' parent association, which collects a €12 annual membership and funds equipment such as the green classroom and basketball hoops. Local bookshops (Buchhandlung May, Buchhandlung Schmidt und Hahn) provide in-kind book prizes. Marketing/communications run through the school's official website, parent circulars (Elternbriefe), parent evenings, the Förderverein Facebook page, and community events including Schulfest and Lichterfest. In 2025 the school received the 'Internet-ABC-Schule' seal from Medienanstalt Hessen among 158 recognized Hessian schools, and the Forschernetzwerk received the 'Courage in Lampertheim' award from Bürgerstiftung Lampertheim on 13 November 2025.
