Recognition of Climate Excellence in the City of Seligen - First-Time Honour
Seligenstadt's First Climate Prize Awarded to Einhard School
The city of Seligenstadt has awarded its inaugural Climate Prize to the Einhard School, recognising their impressive commitment to environmental protection.
Mayor Dr. Daniell Bastian presented the award during a ceremonial presentation, praising the school's efforts in fostering students' enthusiasm for sustainability. The prize money, amounting to 1,500 euros, will be used to fund further environmental protection projects at the school.
The Einhard School's concept includes a variety of projects, such as educational offerings and practical measures for climate protection. One notable project is the transformation of the school garden into a wild bee meadow, implemented in cooperation with the didactics of biology at Frankfurt University. Other projects include the construction of bat boxes, the care of a school bee colony, beekeeping training, and the creation of sustainability tips.
Mayor Bastian emphasised the importance of the younger generation in climate protection, expressing his hope that the Einhard School's commitment will inspire many citizens. He also thanked the teaching staff, especially the principal Sonja Müller-Schamell and the environmental coordinator Leon Böhm, for their dedication to this cause.
The climate prize is awarded every two years, with the deadline for submitting applications for the 2026 prize set for June 30, 2026. Interested parties can find more information about the application process on the city of Seligenstadt's official website. Further schools in Seligenstadt, such as the Friedrich-List-Schule located at Heusingerstraße 14, are encouraged to apply for the city's climate award for the 2026 secondary competition.
The creation of the climate prize was inspired by the Einhard School's commitment to environmental protection. The goal is to further anchor the topic of sustainability in daily school life and encourage other schools to follow suit.
The mapped school garden provides data for a biodiversity screening in Hesse, demonstrating the school's commitment to scientific research and data-driven decision-making in their environmental projects. As the first recipients of the Climate Prize, the Einhard School has set a high bar for future winners to follow.
In conclusion, the Climate Prize award ceremony marked a significant milestone in Seligenstadt's efforts to promote environmental protection and sustainability in schools. The Einhard School's commitment serves as an inspiration for other schools and citizens alike, and the city looks forward to seeing the positive impact of this prize on the community.
