Education Reports and Publications on Education in Erlangen

Education is important for the social and economic development of society. In many areas of education, responsibility lies not with the federal or state governments, but with the municipalities themselves. For this reason, many municipalities rely on data-driven municipal education management to plan and steer developments in the field of education.

Plans and projects

"The Future of Elementary Schools and Full-Day Care" Program

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.
Plans and projects

Creation of a memorial to the victims of euthanasia

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).
