SPD urgently demands expansion of the Waisenhof School in Esslingen!

In Esslingen, the SPD council group is currently causing excitement because it demands a comprehensive expansion of the Waisenhof School. This initiative is no coincidence, because the school urgently needs more space. From the school year 2026/2027, all -day care will be necessary, which puts the spatial capacity to its limits. The SPD has particularly considered the Schwörhaus, which is currently being used for alternating exhibitions of the Schreiber Museum for children. The representation of the fact shows that there is a suitable environment for an expansion of the orphanage school, such as [Stuttgart News] (https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.esslingen-spd-schwoerhaus-soll-er- fuer-waisenhof-werden.dddddfa95-f50b-4645-bcc1-99286ce70.html) reported.

School management and support association of the Waisenhof School have already pointed out the increased need in several letters. In order to move the exhibitions of the Schreiber Museum to another location from 2026, the city administration is asked to examine the financial and organizational opportunities. It is even considered to accommodate the exhibitions in containers, with the Merkelpark as a potential location.

The Schwörhaus as a solution?

The plans of the SPD faction provide to find a permanent solution for the exhibition operation. Also thinking about alternative locations, such as in the newly planned cultural district in the Bebenhäuser Pflegehof or in another central town in the city. The conversion to the expansion of the orphanage school could begin after the current exhibition in October 2025. This would be an important step to meet the requirements of modern school education. The new all -day structure is particularly approved because it enables individual support for the students, which serves to promote the joy of learning and the respectful interaction with each other, as the orphanage school itself emphasizes ( Waisenhofschule ).

The orphanage school emphasizes that it is a lively school community in which children, parents and teachers maintain an appreciative handling. Various projects and regular events promote learning beyond lessons. The examination of environmental and resource protection also forms a central point in school work. With an all -day offer in the election model with a period of seven hours a day, the school meets the different needs of children and adolescents. The planned expansion could play a crucial role here.

In addition to the practical relevance, a current examination of the Dipf (Leibniz Institute for Education Research and Education Information) also illuminates various aspects of all-day schools in Germany. Research shows that high-quality extra-curricular offers have a positive effects on the motivation and note development of children ( Dipf ). Topics such as school development, participation and the role of teachers who could be of great interest to the orphanage school are treated.

It will be interesting to see how the matter around the Waisenhof School and the Schwörhaus will continue to develop. The coming months could be decisive for what the educational landscape in Esslingen will look like. Because there is a lot, and politics is challenged to prove a good hand here!
