Construction of a new school in the Ruhr region
In the heart of Kettwig, the city of Ruhr, Germany, a new chapter begins as the groundbreaking ceremony for a modern two-winged primary school was held on September 5, 2025. The event was attended by Mayor Thomas Kufen, Muchtar Al Ghusain, Managing Director of Youth, Education, and Culture, and other key stakeholders.
The new school, located on Mintarder Weg, will replace the one that was closed in December 2016 due to the detection of tetrachlorethene. The building layout consists of four connected buildings, with a central hub serving as a hub. The school is expected to accommodate approximately 220 students.
The city council invested around 24 million euros in the new construction, with planning for the school commencing in August 2020. The school will have open all-day areas, a gymnasium, an auditorium, a schoolyard, and additional rooms for classrooms, technology, and administration.
During the feasibility study, further hazardous substance contamination was found in the building and soil. However, the city is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment for the students. The new school will be built to the highest safety standards, providing a place where children can learn, grow, form friendships, and harness digital opportunities.
The new school is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2027. In the meantime, classes have been temporarily moved to a container at Gustavstraße 26 annex. The school will foster creative minds and teach responsibility, preparing the students for a bright and successful future.
The responsible employee in the Essen city administration for the construction of the new school building at Ruhr is not explicitly named in the search results. However, they likely fall under the department responsible for construction and building projects, typically within the city's Building or Education office. Specific contact details or the responsible person's name are not provided in the available information.
The community of Ruhr eagerly awaits the completion of the new school, looking forward to a new era of education and growth.
