Adolf-Reichwein-Schule Heusenstamm, Educational institution and cultural heritage monument in Heusenstamm, Germany

The Adolf-Reichwein-School is a school building in Heusenstamm designed by architect Ernst May, combining functional modern design with thoughtful spatial planning. It offers spacious classrooms and specialized areas for different academic activities and learning needs.

The foundation stone was laid on 5 June 1964 by mayor Hans Hemberger, a civil engineer and architect, while Ernst May carried out the planning and realisation. Teaching began at Leibnizstraße in the 1965/66 school year with 340 pupils in eleven classes, before the official inauguration on 20 May 1967, when 680 pupils were taught by 24 teachers. In the 1970s the school reached about 1,200 pupils.

The school bears the name of Adolf Reichwein, a German educator and resistance fighter. Its sports tradition is visible in its record: teams took part in Jugend trainiert für Olympia in apparatus gymnastics from 1970 to 1977 and became German school champions in 1975, 1976 and 1977, trained by sports teacher Heinz Höf.

The building can be visited during school hours by contacting the school administration to arrange a tour. Access is typically through the main entrance, where staff can provide information about the facilities and the building's architectural features.

Since 1973 the school has taken part in the Jugendwaldspiele forest games, among the first schools in Hesse to do so. Pupils in the Förderstufe spend early summer exploring the forest ecosystem. The school also runs "Schüler kochen für Schüler", cooking over 60 main dishes daily with herbs, fruit and vegetables from its own garden.
