The School for the Sick at the Olgahospital, presumably one of the oldest hospital schools in Germany, hereby continues the tradition of “bedside teaching” that has existed since the founding of the Olgahospital in 1842, also in the new rooms of the “Olgäles”.
“This shows that people here in Stuttgart have always been particularly progressive in the pedagogical and holistic support of sick children,” said the Mayor for Culture, Education and Sport, Dr. Susanne Eisenmann, who attended the school’s celebration as a guest.
Rooms with more than 400 square meters
With a construction cost subsidy from the city to the Eigenbetrieb Klinikum Stuttgart for the school’s rooms amounting to around three million euros, a room program of more than 400 square meters was implemented. Modern and multifunctional classrooms were created for the students on the individual wards and in a central school area on the terrace level of the new building. This central area also houses the school’s administration and the areas for the teachers.
With these future-oriented rooms for students and teachers, the best framework conditions were created for the continuation of the excellent and important educational work of the School for the Sick at the Hospital, Center for Pedagogy in Sickness, under the direction of special school principal Ulrich Braun.
