Kugelgarn^® for an inspiring place to learn

In Frankfurt's Sindlingen district, the Ludwig Weber School is a contemporary new building for 200 primary school pupils that is not only a place of learning but also a place of encounter. In line with the guiding principle of ‘together instead of alone’, Behnisch Architekten designed a school building that promotes a lively school community with open spatial structures, diverse learning landscapes and green outdoor classrooms.

The three-storey building with its light-coloured wooden façade blends harmoniously into its surroundings while contrasting with the neighbouring residential development. A central atrium, light-flooded marketplaces, open corridors, colourful cloakroom areas and rooms for retreat and socialising create an open, learning-friendly spatial structure. The classrooms have direct access to the outside area – either to the schoolyard or to surrounding balconies, where green classrooms offer additional space for outdoor lessons. The spacious schoolyard with a garden, learning meadow and exercise areas, as well as an integrated gym, complement the educational concept, which focuses on openness, diversity and integration.

A central design element in the interior is the Kugelgarn^® textile floor covering from Fabromont, which was used in classrooms, corridors and cloakrooms. Kugelgarn^® impresses with its high durability and is ideal for intensive everyday school use. Its sound-absorbing properties promote a quiet learning atmosphere, while the soft, non-slip surface ensures comfort and safety. The flooring also meets the highest standards in terms of ease of care: it is easy to clean and remains attractive for many years. With its natural colouring, Kugelgarn^® in the Graffiti playa quality enhances the friendly, warm appearance of the learning spaces – and thus contributes significantly to making the Ludwig Weber School a place where children, teachers and parents alike feel at home.
