World Heritage in Germany – an exhibition

More than 170 students of the eighth year explored the UNESCO World Heritage in Germany. In English-language presentations the young people introduced themselves to known and unknown World Heritage Sites near Babenhausen, such as the Torhalle in Lorsch, the Limes or the Messel pit. A few objects had crept onto the list of students who are not part of the world heritage - that the Berlin Wall is not one of them seemed to be wrong to some of the eighth-graders.

Of course, Cologne Cathedral or the Wartburg Castle were honoured - but more unknown places were also presented to the pupils. Even the documentary heritage was considered - Benz's motor vehicle patent, the Nebra Sky Disk or the fairy tale collection of the Brothers Grimm were presented as well as steelworks, old towns or the Wadden Sea.

On the occasion of the Open Day of the Joachim Schumann School, the results were made accessible to the general public in an exhibition. The young people presented their work to interested parents on posters. Previously, some of the presentations had already been presented to the partner schools. Some of the eighth graders had the opportunity to present their work at an international project meeting in Lisbon.
