SCHOOL FLAT ROOF AS SECURED PLAYGROUND WITH X-TEND & I-SYS

SCHOOL FLAT ROOF AS SECURED PLAYGROUND

Something like that can go to school. In 2009 the Katharinen elementary school, the so-called Hafencity School, was officially inaugurated in Hamburg. There the teachers and employees offer the children high-quality all-day care. Built by the architects Spengler Wiescholek from Hamburg, the school building offers an unusual highlight. And high is high here.

Because the school playground for the children is on the dizzying roof of the building. So that the children can still play and romp, and above all carefree, the area is fenced with a 4 meter high fall protection. This is a combination of the two CARL STAHL ARC products X-TEND stainless steel cable mesh and I-SYS stainless steel cable system.

Hafencity School - certainly more knowledge

The Katharinen elementary school offers space for around 300 elementary and preschool children. In addition to normal teaching, those responsible for the school attach great importance to promoting reading. This becomes clear when you think about their ...

... know about it. In addition, musical education is the center of attention. The guiding principle here is that every child should learn a suitable instrument. The children are not only looked after by teachers, but also by educators and other educational staff. One of the concepts of the school is to offer the children a varied range of lessons and leisure activities.

fun on the roof

On the flat roof of the school, the children spend a significant part of their free time at school. The 4 meter high X-TEND stainless steel cable mesh is the most important part of the safety measures there. The net not only prevents falling, but also the climbing attempts of the pupils thanks to the resilient overall concept.

The X-TEND not only serves for security, but also for greening the school yard. Since the beginning of school, there are very beautiful vine plants to look at. The entire construction received an award for the unusual design at the presentation of the German Urban Development Prize.
