From first German conversations to growing confidence week after week, these classes showed that language learning can be fun and has no age limit 🇩🇪✨💛

Vielen Dank to our amazing teachers and adult learners for being such an important part of the SGLS community ❤️

Alongside all the celebrations, Maifest also gave us the opportunity to say goodbye and thank two wonderful teachers for their dedication to our school community.

A heartfelt farewell goes to Kindergarten teacher Anett Roland, who has been such an important and beloved part of our school for 6 years 🌸 Thank you for your warmth, care and the countless memories you created with your students.

We also said goodbye to Franziska, who taught our E1/2 class this year and brought great energy and enthusiasm to the classroom ✨

We wish both of them all the very best for their next adventures and thank them for everything they contributed to our school 💛❤️🖤

After the diploma ceremony, it was time for games, laughter and nonstop action outside ☀️🙌

Students raced through activity stations including parachute games, skipping rope, limbo, egg races, three-legged races, axe throwing, a scavenger hunt and the always popular soccer wall ⚽🥚🪓

So much energy, teamwork and fun to celebrate the end of another fantastic school year 💛
A huge thank you to all teachers, volunteers and organizers who made these activities possible.

A very special and proud moment for our students, families and teachers after years of dedication to learning the German language 📚✨

📰 Die erste Zeitung der Welt wurde nicht in London oder Paris gedruckt — sondern in einer deutschen Stadt.

Im Jahr 1605 erschien in Straßburg, damals Teil des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation, die erste regelmäßige Zeitung der Geschichte: die „Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien", herausgegeben von Johann Carolus. Sie erschien wöchentlich — ein revolutionärer Rhythmus in einer Zeit, in der Informationen Tage oder Wochen brauchten, um von einer Stadt zur nächsten zu gelangen.

Was enthielt diese erste Zeitung?
Nachrichten über Kriege und militärische Ereignisse, Berichte über Handel, Märkte und Preise, politische und diplomatische Informationen sowie besondere Ereignisse aus aller Welt — soweit die Boten sie überbracht hatten.

Wer las sie? Händler und Kaufleute, die Preisinformationen aus anderen Städten brauchten. Gelehrte und Stadtbürger. Fürstenhöfe und Regierungsbeamte. Die Zeitung war von Anfang an ein Werkzeug der Macht — und der Bildung.

🔍 Was viele nicht wissen...
Johann Carolus hatte zunächst handgeschriebene Nachrichtenblätter verkauft — dann entschied er sich, eine Druckerpresse zu nutzen, um effizienter zu werden. Diese Entscheidung veränderte die Kommunikationsgeschichte der Menschheit. Vom 17. Jahrhundert an entstanden Zeitungen in vielen europäischen Städten. Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert verbreiteten sie sich in Übersee. Im 20. Jahrhundert beschleunigte die Technik die Verbreitung von Nachrichten weltweit.

Ohne Straßburg und Johann Carolus gäbe es vielleicht keine moderne Presse — und vielleicht keine moderne Demokratie, wie wir sie kennen.
