"Elmar the elephant lives in his herd. He is colorfully checkered and always plays something funny", tells seven-year-old helen haas. All other elephants are "elephant-colored.
When elmar rolls itself in gray fruits, it goes down finally also in the mass of its kind comrades and is not recognized any longer. But because he is the only one who is funny and not boring, he gives himself away. "Then a rain cloud comes and washes his color off again", adds classmate lilli-maria katholing. In the end there is a colorful elephant party for all elephants and elmar is happy.
And what does elmar have to do with coburg? Quite simple – since recently elmar is in triple version at the construction fence at albertsplatz. Twice the 22 children strictly adhered to the template of the book of the same name, once they let off steam creatively and enthusiastically wielded their paintbrushes: elmar was decorated with colorful blobs, spinning tops and "with animal patterns they had made up themselves, says primary school pupil joshua zlatosca enthusiastically.
The second class of the lutherschule in coburg banned the colorful elephants with acrylic paints on large tarpaulins. With it the coburger housing construction then the barrier to the new building albertsplatz 4 placarded, as the responsible architect berthold haeutle explains.
Managing director andreas heipp wanted – as he did two years ago – a colorful design for the construction fence and turned to the coburg schools. "Everyone should have a share in the transformation of the square", he finds. Mayor norbert kastner and city manager annette kolb admired elmar and welcomed the creativity of the children. The works of art will now embellish the construction fence for a year. "Then the paint is probably peeling off", says the responsible class teacher heidi schulz-scheidt.

The city’s population has grown significantly in recent years, and rising birth rates and planned housing projects will also have a major impact on student numbers in the coming years. In its most recent meeting, the cultural senate agreed that infrastructural adjustments are necessary, which affect the schools in bamberg in particular.

"The top priority for consideration is the area east of the rail line, since the increase in student numbers there requires a bundle of measures that necessitates a corresponding lead time", explained matthias pfeufer from the municipal education office. In view of the dramatic increases in student numbers in some parts of the city – at the rupprechtschule alone, numbers are rising from 283 students in the current school year to an expected 443 in the 2024/2025 school year – the city faces major challenges, he said. This forecast is based on current data from the residents’ registration office and does not yet take into account the children who will be added in the next few years after various housing projects are completed.

The administration has been working for some time on approaches as to how the city of bamberg can meet these changed needs – and how receptive the individual schools still are. New containers are now to be set up at the rupprecht school. At the heidelsteigschule, containers will initially be expanded to accommodate the all-day program, while a feasibility study is prepared for the partial renovation and expansion of the school. And the pestalozzischule is to be used temporarily as a branch of the heidelsteigschule after the pending move of the fachhochschule des mittelstands.

The construction of a border and peace chapel on the former german-german border between burggrub and neuhaus-schierschnitz was an exemplary private initiative that attracted attention throughout germany. For 26 years willi bischoff led with great commitment the 47 member strong burggrub chapel building association, founded in 1990 – a few months after the spectacular opening of the border – by a few idealists. Founding chairman was hubert knauer.

At the annual general meeting in the horing inn, angelika rosenbauer now took over the responsibilities. There was a lot of applause for the 49-year-old burggruberin for this one. "I will continue this important historical legacy with all my strength," the speaker said, according to the new chairwoman.

In his retrospective, willi bischoff recalled the constructional feat. Since its inauguration 26 years ago, men and women have invested a lot of free time in its care, maintenance and finally also in renovation measures. The building has lost none of its fascination to this day. This year, he informed five groups of visitors, including three school classes, about the construction. For this purpose, friedrich burger from mitwitz has prepared a flyer free of charge. He also recalled the church festival service with the musical participation of the trombone choir.
