Hamburg is taking another step to contain the corona virus. Schools and daycare centers are closed. The administration has now announced this. 

All schools in Hamburg will be closed from Monday.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the schools in the Hanseatic city will remain closed until March 29. In addition, regular operations in the daycare centers will be discontinued.

It’s not nice to live in Cologne’s most famous focal point, the Kölnberg.to kill a mockingbird sample essay Especially not as a child. Students want to change that.

The wind whistles around the blocks. Only a few people are between the “An der Fuhr” high-rise buildings on Kölnberg in Cologne. Plastic scraps fly over what is actually supposed to be a green area and play area. At the edges of the facade there are burst bags on the floor, leftover food, used diapers and other rubbish next to it.

A meal found in the truest sense of the word for rats that have built their burrows under the meadow. Huge holes are evidence of this. And if you take a closer look, you will also discover one or the other rat carcass. Rats live in abundance in the settlement, which was built in the 1970s as a luxury property with a swimming pool and tennis court on a green meadow.

Syringes, garbage and dirty shops

Because no one is evidently doing anything about it, students now became active. The 4d elementary school students from Meschenich have put together a folder with photos and explanatory texts and sent it to the district politicians in Cologne. The pictures also show used syringes by drug addicts and places on the green space where prostitutes meet with their suitors and go about their business.

All of this is not a snapshot, but a permanent state. And known to the city for decades. However, the city does not see any danger to the children, as it writes to the district representatives in response to a past political request. And she is largely holding back from the area because it is private property, an argument that has been heard over and over again.

The administration would have the opportunity to buy apartments there that become vacant. She could also have acquired the now vacant rooms of the former daycare center for an urgently needed community center. But there is apparently no interest, as a politician from the district says and emphasizes that the city would never confirm that – that would probably only be admitted behind closed doors.

Ecosign students worked with the children

At least the responsible district politicians reacted to the children’s letter and organized an on-site meeting with the children and administrative representatives. There was movement in the matter. Just a few weeks later, a team of students from the private design school Ecosign in Ehrenfeld worked with the children on a slogan for their campaign, which was related to the 30th birthday of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

They designed and built ramps for a skater facility that was built on the tennis court that was no longer in use. The district representatives from Rodenkirchen provided 50,000 euros and various foundations topped up the funds. “We should have raised around 150,000 euros,” says teacher Martina Plum. Plum supervised the children’s campaign a year ago.

Children nominated for honorary award

In the meantime, the primary school students won third place in the WDR Children’s Rights Prize and now the German Engagement Prize could follow if enough people vote for them. Because the children have now been nominated for this prize because of their campaign. “The children are very proud that their campaign made such waves,” says teacher Plum, who now hopes that the outside area on Kölnberg will soon be redesigned. The plans for this are already being voted on.

Eleven-year-old Hanna, who does not live on Kölnberg, but rather in the “old village” as the people of Meschenich like to emphasize, was one of Plum’s students. The action with the students was great, as she says. Also that they received an award from WDR. But now more should happen, as the girl says with conviction. The eleven-year-old meets more often with her friend Sandy, who lives in the skyscrapers.

“We went to the skater park again, but were spat at and threatened by other children and even thrown beer bottles at us. Now we don’t go there anymore,” says the girl, who is now in the fifth grade of a secondary school in neighboring Brühl . Hanna feels the area between the skyscrapers is “dirty and also a bit creepy”. The consequence: “When Sandy and I meet, she prefers to come to my house,” says Hanna.

In Wolfsburg, the registration dates for attending fifth grade in a secondary school in the coming school year have been set. But because of the Corona crisis, the procedures differ.

For the first time, the registration days for public schools in Wolfsburg are taking place at the same time. Parents who want to enroll their children for fifth grade in secondary school can do so between May 11th and 15th. The late registration period runs until June 5th. The city of Wolfsburg announced. 

Since the respective schools are responsible for compliance with the Infection Protection Act in the Corona crisis, the registration process differs from school to school, it said. Some schools send their registration documents by post, others only give them out personally. Parents can find out more about this on the website of the respective school, or inquire directly by phone or email.

At a conference, Germany’s ministers of education decide that a return to schools nationwide should soon be possible again. However, there are regional differences.

All students in Germany should be able to return to schools before the summer vacation. School attendance should be possible on a daily or weekly basis, said the chairperson of the Conference of Ministers of Education, the Rhineland-Palatinate Education Minister Stefanie Hubig (SPD), on Tuesday in Mainz. The education ministers of the federal states have agreed on this goal.

Infection events decisive for decisions

However, there will be different approaches in the federal states. Hubig said that how the infection process develops will be decisive for the procedure in schools. Each country will decide for itself whether the students return to schools for individual days or by the week. There are different local conditions. There is no compulsory attendance for students with a health risk – the same applies to teachers.

Because strangers rioted massively in a school in Mainz, lessons there were completely canceled on Wednesday. There is still no trace of the perpetrators.

Unknown people broke into the Rabanus-Maurus-Gymnasium in Mainz on Wednesday night and rioted there, the police said. On Wednesday morning around 7 a.m., the school’s caretaker discovered the extensive damage on all floors and alerted the police. 

In consultation with the police, the school management decided that morning that all classes would be canceled on Wednesday. That was necessary because of the crime scene recording by the investigators and the upcoming cleanup work, it said. The exact extent of the nightly action cannot be foreseen in the morning, however.

As a police spokesman told t-online.de, several doors were kicked in the building. Objects were also knocked over and damaged in the classrooms. According to initial findings, however, nothing was stolen. Forensics officials have been on site since that morning.

Two young people were caught breaking into a school in Karlsruhe on Monday morning. They hid in the toilet from the officers arriving. A police dog spotted her and bit down.

A 15-year-old and a 17-year-old broke into a school building on the “Am Steinbruch” street in Karlsruhe on Monday morning at around 2:45 am. As the police reported, the youths apparently smashed a window in the basement to get into the building. There the suspects had already searched various cupboards in classrooms and found a money box with change.

A local resident observed two people and a light in the school and then called the police. The officers who arrived found the two intruders in the toilet. They tried to hide there. The 17-year-old was bitten in the leg by a police dog and had to receive medical care.
