SCANDAL at the Freudenstadt music school: Financial catastrophe is imminent!
Sensational alarm in Freudenstadt! The music and art school is on the brink and is heading inexorably towards a catastrophic future. The infamous “Herrenberg ruling” from the summer of 2022 shook the financial world of music schools by forcing them to permanently employ their fee-based staff. What initially sounded like progress has quickly turned into a financial dam that threatens the fundamental structures of art schools! Schwarzwälder Bote reports that the school is now facing insurmountable financial difficulties Challenges face, the future uncertain – a shocking disaster!
How could it have come to this? The judgment in Herrenberg, which is celebrated by many as a blessing, turns out to be a disastrous curse in reality! Experts and music school directors alike report that the regulation is already leading to massive financial burdens and that will not change in the future. If this development continues like this, music lessons could soon become a memory from the past for our children!
The dark truth behind the verdict
The facts are shocking! In Saxony-Anhalt, for example, almost 70% of teachers were already employed permanently - thanks to generous state support**. Nevertheless, it is already clear that the financial resources in the existing systems are melting like snow in the sun. Getting into permanent employment comes with enormous costs that are almost overwhelming for these schools! MDR reports a fraud that could possibly be understood as art if the musicality is actually lost.
The years of funding worth billions seem to have disappeared, the instruments could soon gather dust and the diversity of teachers could be subject to gigantic reductions. It is unimaginable that the Johann Adam Hiller music school in Görlitz would have to pay 276,500 euros more annually because of this regulation. Where will the money come from? Should we now dig deeper into our pockets for music and art, or even give up our beloved instruments?
The sad result: loss of teachers and future threatened
A frightening picture is emerging, as the Freudenstadt music school has already had to lay off teachers, which is leading to a worrying movement of students to other schools. A dramatic fate that threatens the next generations of musicians! While many educators see the ruling as a reason for greater safety and support, we must ask ourselves: What is it really worth if it ultimately has far-reaching consequences for the culture?
It remains to be feared that rising costs and negative financial forecasts are endangering our musical heritage. The importance of our culture-promoting institutions is at stake! How long can we watch as the living culture is brought to its knees? We are facing a political and cultural change that urgently requires a solution!

Time is running out – can we escape a cultural sell-out, or are we already too late for our beloved music school culture? We must act now – for art and the future!
