Hermann Hesse School ditches 14-year-old containers for a modern wooden building
A new modular wooden building will soon replace outdated temporary classrooms at the Hermann Hesse School in Obertshausen. The Offenbach District Committee has greenlit the project, allocating nearly €2.5 million for construction. Once complete, the existing container units—used since 2010—will be removed.
The current temporary classrooms were installed in 2010 as a short-term fix. Over time, they became a long-term solution for the cooperative comprehensive school, which now serves around 1,000 students. The new building will stand on school grounds next to the Georg Kerschensteiner School.
The new modular wooden building will provide a permanent solution for the Hermann Hesse School. With more classrooms and modern facilities, it aims to better support the school’s growing student population. The project marks the end of a 14-year reliance on temporary structures.
