Am Lemmchen school site: New high school building, replacement elementary school, Realschule Plus, canteen and sports halls
Brief description
Construction work has begun on a new high school in Mainz-Mombach. The four-stream high school, which already started in September 2023 in a temporary building on Lerchenberg, is a "school with a special inclusive profile" and a shared learning environment for students with and without disabilities.
The high school will be located in Mombach "Am Lemmchen," together with the schools already located there (elementary school and secondary school). These, as well as a cafeteria and two sports halls, will be rebuilt after the high school is completed, creating a modern school location for all age groups.
The high school moved into the modular building at the "Am Lemmchen" location shortly before the 2024 summer holidays. School operations began there on the first day of the 2024/25 school year. The cafeteria has been in operation since the beginning of April 2024 and is now used by both elementary and high school students.
