Rudolf-Eberle-Schule

What Rudolf-Eberle-Schule does

Rudolf-Eberle-Schule (RES) Bad Säckingen is a publicly funded commercial-vocational school (kaufmännische Schule) operated by the state of Baden-Württemberg under the Regierungspräsidium Freiburg. It is located at Rippolinger Straße 3 in Bad Säckingen and serves the Hochrhein region, drawing students from roughly a dozen surrounding municipalities including Schopfheim, Wehr, Rheinfelden, Lörrach, Waldshut, Tiengen, and Laufenburg. The school is led by Principal Erika Breiling with Deputy Principal Christoph Henkes and Magnus Sauerborn as head of the Wirtschaftsgymnasium and Berufskolleg departments.

The institution runs a multi-track educational portfolio spanning pre-vocational preparation (Ausbildungsvorbereitung), a two-year Berufsfachschule, the dual Kaufmännische Berufsschule (commercial vocational school), the Wirtschaftsgymnasium (business-focused Abitur track), and four Berufskolleg programs (I, II, Fremdsprachen, Fachhochschulreife). Practice-firm simulations (Übungsfirmen) and EU-funded international mobility (Erasmus+ Malta, French Azubi-BacPro partnership with Lycée Jean Mermoz) complement the classroom curriculum. Supporting technology consists of off-the-shelf platforms — Moodle for learning management, WebUntis for scheduling, and Nextcloud for file storage — with no proprietary AI or software layer.

The business model is state funding: revenue derives from Baden-Württemberg education budgets, not tuition, supplemented by the charitable Freundeskreis der Rudolf-Eberle-Schule e. V. (founded 1991) and in-kind support from regional Patenfirmen (Franke, Maryan Beachwear, Blumen Maier, Otto Suhner). Go-to-market is direct enrollment via the German public school system, augmented by Realschulen visits, the annual Berufsinformationstag (BIT) career fair with 70+ participating companies, and an Instagram presence. The student body functions as the customer base; pricing is non-applicable (no tuition).

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Regierungspräsidium Freiburg: State administrative authority that oversees RES's operations, approves cooperation agreements (e.g., Hans-Thoma-Schule partnership), and governs curriculum standards. Institutional counterpart rather than market peer.
• IHK Hochrhein-Bodensee: Regional Chamber of Industry and Commerce that administers the dual apprenticeship framework in which RES's Kaufmännische Berufsschule operates. Not a competitor but a structural counterpart governing commercial vocational qualifications in the same region.

Broad incumbents

• Universität Mannheim: Major German university serving as a higher-education pathway partner for RES Abitur graduates. Comparable in business education focus (Mannheim's BWL program is Germany's top-ranked) but operates at degree-tier; competes for top RES Wirtschaftsgymnasium graduates.
• Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM): Private university of applied sciences partnering with RES for the integrated Ausbildungsstudium (work-study BWL). Comparable in commercial/business education orientation but operates at higher-education tier; relevant as both partner and adjacent competitor for student enrollment.
• Carl-Benz-Schule Karlsruhe: Larger commercial and technical vocational school in Karlsruhe with broader program scope including business, IT, and technical tracks. Comparable in offering commercial Gymnasium and Berufskolleg but at materially larger scale and broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Hans-Thoma-Schule Laufenburg: Cooperation-partner vocational school in nearby Laufenburg whose partnership with RES was officially approved (Namenszusatz) by Regierungspräsidium Freiburg in 2026. Adjacent regional school serving complementary commercial and technical vocational tracks.

Direct peers

• Walter-Eucken-Schule Freiburg: Commercial vocational school (kaufmännische Schule) in nearby Freiburg, offering Wirtschaftsgymnasium, Berufskolleg, and dual commercial training programs within the same Regierungspräsidium jurisdiction. Highly comparable in program mix and regulatory environment.
• Kaufmännische Schule Lörrach: Commercial vocational school (kaufmännische Schule) in the neighboring Hochrhein town of Lörrach, serving overlapping catchment communities (Lörrach, Rheinfelden). Directly comparable institution offering Wirtschaftsgymnasium, Berufskolleg, and dual commercial training under the same Baden-Württemberg regulatory framework.
• Kaufmännische Schule Nagold: State-run commercial vocational school in Baden-Württemberg with parallel offerings (Wirtschaftsgymnasium, Berufskolleg, Kaufmännische Berufsschule). Comparable scale, program portfolio, and state-funding model.
• Handelslehranstalt Hamm: German commercial vocational school (Handelslehranstalt) offering Wirtschaftsgymnasium, Berufskolleg, and dual commercial training. Comparable pedagogical model and program structure, though serving a different German state.
