The Gymnasium Kempfenhausen, a public school with an integrated boarding program, currently serves over 700 students, of which approximately 50 are boarding students who stay on campus for the majority of the year. The school, which occupies a sizable area of around 21,000 square meters, is in need of infrastructure improvement. The existing boarding facility has been described by the principal, Tomas Raidt, as having the 'charm of a youth hostel,' indicating a pressing need for modernization to keep up with educational demands and student comfort.

On Tuesday evening, the local council in Berg granted approval for the demolition of the oldest building in the school compound, paving the way for a new dormitory that will accommodate 66 boarding students. The decision reflects the community's commitment to enhancing educational facilities and providing better living conditions for students who live away from home. With strong local interest in the school’s development, the decision is seen as a positive step toward modernizing the environment in which students learn and live.

This new construction is not only about replacing an old building; it symbolizes a broader investment in education within the region. As more students seek quality education paired with supportive residential facilities, such developments will be crucial in making the local education system more attractive, which could have long-term implications for enrollment and community development in Kempfenhausen.
