What Städtische Realschule does

The Städtische Realschule Bergneustadt is a public secondary school located at Breiter Weg 8, 51702 Bergneustadt, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It serves students in grades 5 through 10 (Realschulstufen 5-10, typically aged 10-16), delivering general secondary education that culminates in the Mittlere Reife (Realschulabschluss) and prepares students for vocational training (Ausbildung) or further academic pathways. The school operates as a non-legal entity of public law (nichtrechtsfähige Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) under the sponsorship of the Stadt Bergneustadt, with historical enrollment of approximately 593 students in 23 classes (1987 figures) against a peak of 790 students in 24 classes in 1979. Founded in its current municipal form in 1878, the institution traces its educational heritage to a Latin school established in 1566 and relocated to its present campus on November 4, 1969.

The school's product surface consists of two core digital offerings layered over its in-person teaching operation. The Dashboard (realschule-bergneustadt.de/dashboard) is a centralized portal providing students, parents, and teachers with access to schedules, substitution plans, announcements, and downloadable forms. The Berufsorientierung (career orientation) program formalizes career exploration through internships, dates, and downloads to support the school-to-work transition. The underlying technology infrastructure is entirely conventional and non-proprietary: website hosting is provided by Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany), appointment scheduling uses Google Calendar, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent is handled by CCM19 from Papoo Software & Media GmbH. No proprietary technology, custom software development, or AI/ML capabilities are present.

The business model is non-commercial. Education is provided free of charge to students, and the school has no tuition, fees, or revenue-generating activities. Operational costs are funded through a combination of municipal allocations from the Stadt Bergneustadt and state-level educational funding from North Rhine-Westphalia, which covers civil-servant teacher salaries. The go-to-market motion is the official municipal admission process: an Aufnahmeantrag for grade 5 entry and a separate Anmeldeformular Seiteneinsteiger for lateral transfers, facilitated by the school's administration and the Erprobungsstufen-Koordinatorin. The institution employs approximately 36 staff, comprising 32+ teachers plus support functions spanning school leadership, secretariat, social work, counseling, administration, and facilities.
