Bremerhaven-Lehe „Reorganisation of the Schools“

Adjusting social infrastructures because of the declining demand

In the Wilhelminian residential neighbourhood of Bremerhaven-Lehe, sustained falls in the population and, in particular, the fall in birth rates, have led to the primary schools being under-used. Within the framework of an extensive school development plan, the primary schools were reorganised, which allowed a school building to be pulled down and the space to be used as a neighbourhood square. At the same time, another school location was structurally and pedagogically upgraded and another was converted into a social-cultural centre.
