Odenwaldschule, School in Ober-Hambach, Germany

The Odenwaldschule buildings are spread across a large campus in the hills of Heppenheim, incorporating multiple residential and educational structures.

Founded in 1910 by Paul and Edith Geheeb, the Odenwaldschule introduced new educational methods that combined intellectual, practical, musical, and artistic learning.

The institution implemented a system where students lived in small residential groups, participating in both academic studies and daily community responsibilities.

The school operated with an average class size of 17 students until 2015, when financial difficulties led to its permanent closure.

The buildings now form part of a residential complex called Wohnpark Ober-Hambach, marking the end of its educational legacy.
