In the municipality of Altomünster there are two other ridesharing benches - because hard-working students have set to work with diligence and commitment.
Altomünster
- This community action will stay in the memory of the students of 8a and 8b of the Altomünster middle school forever.
Together they created two ridesharing benches that they were able to inaugurate together with Mayor Michael Reiter.
But if the community chief believed that he should only come to view the installation, then he was mistaken.
The students gave him a drill.
And so the mayor had to screw in the last screws on the bench at the train station in Altomünster himself.
For that he received warm applause.
But the boys and girls also earned that, along with the snack that the parents' council spontaneously donated for the ceremony on site.
It was the successful end of an action that the Asylum Helferkreis had brought to the bank team under the direction of Marianne Kerle around a year and a half ago.
The district had asked for a ride-on bench, of which there are already nine in the community area, for Asbach so that asylum seekers who live in Schmarnzell can better get to Altomünster - and another one in Altomünster at the train station for the way back.
In addition, other places such as Wollomoos, Thalhausen, Pfaffenhofen or Sielenbach can be easily reached by car.
Marianne Kerle, who is also very involved in school, and her banker team came up with the idea that the students could set up the bankers as a kind of vocational preparation course.
Art educator Michael Zuber from Rosenheim agreed, as did class teachers Susanne Tausche and Martin Pongratz.
And then Corona thwarted the bill.
But now at the start of school, the April project was carried out in four project days, and the young people were all enthusiastic.
Some designed the mosaic pictures, others tiled them with a lot of love and joy.
Still others set about the concrete parts for the side walls of the bank, created the model, concreted, sanded and smoothed.
And still others took the wooden parts for the bank, sawed, planed, painted, and especially girls burned the lettering into the back wall with great skill.
"The banker brings d'Leit together!"
The students were particularly pleased that one of the Schmarnzell asylum seekers spontaneously helped with their work.
“That is integration as it is carried on”, said Marianne Kerle.
She was pleased that her idea was so well received and implemented by the ride-on bench - true to her motto: "The bench brings d'Leit zamm!"
First of all, the two bankers at the train station and in Asbach have now joined them.
The whole thing was financed by a distribution of proceeds from the Christmas market, a donation from the community foundation, a share from the school and the rest from the bankers' team.
The Altomünster students and their teachers deserve a lot of praise for taking on such a meaningful task and carrying it out with enthusiasm.
