The redesign of the Indersdorf market square is not yet complete.
Great ideas now come from students.
Indersdorf – The new marketplace is to have a very special Indersdorf touch: all 59 districts of the community are to be immortalized there.
A project group from the Indersdorfer Mittelschule has now presented exactly what this should look like.
The Indersdorf municipal councils already know the trio.
Juan Miguel Gormaz Safta, Sebastian Held and Bastian Geltermair presented to local politicians how the new marketplace should be artistically enhanced in the future.
Only that the three are not employees of an engineering office - they are students of the Indersdorfer middle school.
Indersdorf pupils have ideas for designing the marketplace
As in the November meeting, they confidently presented their further developed concept to the local politicians.
It was the wish of the municipal councils that the new market place should have a special Indersdorf touch.
The suggestion was that all 59 districts should be immortalized on the market square.
The three high school students presented in detail at the meeting what that should look like.
The group consists of the five students Juan Miguel Gormaz Safta, Chiranan Suracha, Sebastian Held, Simon Kreitmair and Bastian Geltermair, their mentor is Stefan Allmann.
He is an external pedagogical employee at the middle school and regularly supervises students with art projects.
Each district is to be represented with a cobblestone - for every 250 inhabitants a district gets a 15 by 15 centimeter stone, with more inhabitants there are two or three stones accordingly.
As the municipal councils already decided in the November meeting, the stones should be cast in bronze.
The students not only take care of the casting, they also design the individual stones.

Stefan Allmann is very proud of his protégés.
“They have been really, really hard working.
It wasn't that easy to design 92 panels.” Allmann was particularly impressed: “They even designed their own typefaces that I've never seen before.” The students presented some example images so that the councilors could imagine the explanations.
Wagenried, for example, gets a very curved font.
The stones are to be embedded in the ground in the area in front of the well.
Allmann roughly estimates the costs at 14,900 euros.
This is how the students suggested fonts for the design of the bronze stones.

Municipal councilor Anita Engelbrecht was interested in the technical procedure.
She wanted to know if the students would also create the molds for the casting themselves.
The boys explained that they will visit a foundry in Munich in March.
Here they learn how to make the corresponding wax negatives.
So the records will all be creatively designed, special one-offs.
However, nobody has to worry about “souvenir hunters”, as Olaf Schellenberger (CSU) calls it.
The slabs are anchored "bombproof" in the ground, as Allmann describes it.
"When we're done, it'll last for the next 1000 years," he said and laughed.
Once the stones are in the ground, they already have their first fan: Andrea Heupel, deputy director of the middle school, is "super proud" of her students.
"I will think about what they have done here every day when I walk in the market square," she said the day after the meeting.
