Overview

• Façade work uncovered damage to the main building’s concrete supports, and engineers’ measurements forced a provisional closure for safety.
• Around 190 pupils were given an excursion day on Friday as the site was secured and lessons reorganized.
• Teaching will resume in ten container classrooms at the burned school complex, which had been set up earlier for a fire-safety renovation.
• School furniture will be moved over the weekend, with bus shuttles arranged to transport the children.
• Police previously attributed the May blaze that destroyed the Realschule and Gymnasium to a rooftop photovoltaic short circuit; 1,200 students continue lessons in Düsseldorf with a container campus planned from February.
