The new Hebelschule in Hemsbach responds to the evolving requirements of contemporary primary education, shaped by all-day schooling, inclusive learning concepts and self-directed forms of education. Designed by blocher partners, the project replaces a school building from the 1970s with a compact, future-oriented learning environment that balances ambitious spatial quality with economic efficiency.
Conceived as a two-story volume, the three-stream primary school opens towards the schoolyard with a transparent glass façade on the ground floor. Circulation areas are deliberately designed as places of encounter rather than traditional corridors, encouraging social interaction and informal learning. At the heart of the building lies a spacious foyer with a generous atrium, flooded with daylight from above. This central space creates a strong sense of identity and serves as a multifunctional hub for everyday school life.
The school accommodates 336 pupils. Twelve classrooms are located on the upper floor, organized in pairs around flexible learning spaces that function as retreats and extensions of the classrooms. These flex rooms are visually connected to the circulation zones through full-height glazing and become visible on the façade as distinctive square windows. The ground floor houses administrative areas, specialist rooms for art and music, a teaching kitchen, a cafeteria with kitchen facilities and additional spaces for all-day activities.
Natural light, acoustic comfort and material clarity define the interior atmosphere. Sound-absorbing ceilings, including exposed timber slab elements in the atrium, support a calm learning environment, while restrained color concepts are complemented by vibrant accents at doors and selected wall elements. The partially sunken gymnasium allows for a compact building volume and can be accessed independently for community use outside school hours.
Fully barrier-free and inclusive, the Hebelschule provides equal access to all areas, including a lift, accessible sanitary facilities and a dedicated care bathroom. The project exemplifies a sustainable and socially responsible approach to educational architecture, where spatial quality, functionality and inclusivity are seamlessly integrated.
