The Eugen-Papst-Schule has been working closely with the city for years when it comes to the artistic design of public spaces.

Now a new project is pending.

Germering - The sculptures and the rose arch as well as the trellis on the seating area in the Rathauspark are just as exemplary as the graffiti embellishment of the underground car park and the stage forecourt of the town hall as well as the two bookcases. The freelance artist and handicraft teacher Oliver Beran, who runs the metal workshop at the school and offers the various elective and compulsory courses for the students, was always in charge.

Now the next major project of the support center of the district is pending: The children of the Eugen-Papst-Schule are transforming the roundabout on Neue Gautinger Straße into a huge work of art.

Inside the top, a globe forged from lattice with a diameter of three meters is to be erected.

A two-tone compass rose formed from crash barriers should complete the concept.

Mayor Andreas Haas got a first impression of the new gyro element at the school.

He was excited.

When he looked at the iron earth, which had already been assembled into a globe, he said: “That's incredible.

Great. ”He gave the metal artists in the 5th and 6th grades a huge amount of praise:“ Great.

You are doing very well.

Keep your skills. "

Own metal workshop

A total of around 25 children in grades 5 to 8 have been working on the project for over a year. That it takes so long is mainly due to Corona. "When there was no school, we couldn't do anything," explained Beran. After all, the southern hemisphere is now finished. The students welded the continents to the inside of the metal grid, which they had previously cut out of sheet metal with metal scissors. The fine-tuning of the outlines was done by older students with a plasma cutter.

The fact that the school has its own metal workshop with all kinds of special tools is mainly thanks to the Edeltraud Haberle Foundation.

This supports the school and made the establishment of the workshop possible only eleven years ago.

The youth social foundation of the Dr.

Bernd Rieder supports the projects of the support center.

Headmistress Gabriele Pfob appreciates this kind of practical learning immensely.

The fact that, thanks to the close cooperation with the city, the objects are publicly exhibited is also important: "That is a great confirmation for the students."

Before the globe can be admired at the top, it will probably take another year. First the continents of the northern hemisphere have to be manufactured and welded on. Then the guardrails for the compass rose have to be cut to size. By the way, the guard rails are already in place. It is a donation of discarded planks from the road construction authority. They fit perfectly into the basic idea of ​​all of Oliver Beran's projects: "The children should learn that old things don't always have to be thrown away, but can also be remodeled and used again."
