Education & School

Starting in the 2026–2027 school year, the legal entitlement for elementary school children—initially for first graders—will take effect. This entitlement will be gradually expanded to include subsequent grade levels in the years that follow. The legal entitlement is intended to guarantee full-day educational and care services for schoolchildren. This imposes an obligation on the City of Erlangen to consider how to ensure this legal entitlement through youth services and schools, to take appropriate measures, and, in particular, to make elementary schools “structurally ready” for this purpose.

In collaboration with various project partners, a place of remembrance and the future is to be established on the grounds of the former Erlangen Sanatorium and Nursing Home (HuPfla).

Construction work at the Erlangen Vocational Education Campus (CBBE) is ensuring a future-oriented learning environment for the trade-based apprenticeship programs at the Erlangen Vocational School. A new workshop wing and a cafeteria are being built here for all schools on the Erlangen Vocational Education Campus (CBBE). The classroom and administrative wing is being renovated.

The expansion is necessary to meet the space requirements at Erlangen’s high schools in the short term as part of the reintroduction of the G9 curriculum. A two-story modular expansion building is being constructed at the Emmy-Noether-Gymnasium on the northern teachers’ parking lot. The ground floor will house a preparation room and three chemistry classrooms, while the upper floor will contain five classrooms. The extension will be designed to be accessible. As part of the project, an additional seventy bicycle parking spaces will be created, and replacement trees will be planted.

Comprehensive Renovation of the Fridericianum High School

Due to rising student enrollment and to ensure students’ legal right to full-day care, the Friedrich-Rückert Elementary School is being expanded with a new building.
