Primary school on Karl-Marx-Ring
A new educational campus has been located in the middle of the Karl-Marx-Ring housing estate since 2025. It replaces a school building from the 1970s that had become too small and outdated. The new campus is divided into three buildings: a three-storey primary school, a gymnasium and a building for a daycare centre and the municipal singing and music school. The light-coloured facades made of water-struck bricks have a friendly and inviting appearance, as do the animal line drawings in the various entrance areas, which indicate the different uses. This guidance system was developed by artist Sabine Heine from Rotterdam in joint workshops with children. The project was created as part of Munich's second school construction programme.
