Fuchshofschule in Schorndorf: Innovation Prize for Sustainable Renovation!
The Fuchshofschule in Schorndorf was awarded the “Monument – Energy – Future” innovation prize from the state of Baden-Württemberg. This honor is a significant step in the energy-efficient renovation of historic buildings that combine both monument protection and modern energy concepts. This recognizes the school's commitment to comprehensively renovating the five pavilions, which have been in operation since 1963 and have been listed since 2018. With the award, the school hopes to further raise awareness of sustainable solutions in education and architecture. As Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports, the first pavilion - known as the white pavilion - has already been successfully renovated and has been since September Used as a classroom in 2024. The energy requirement of this pavilion was reduced by 50 percent.
The award ceremony will take place on July 7, 2025 in the Phönix Hall in Stuttgart. Minister Nicole Razavi announced the winners and underlined the importance of innovative energy solutions for cultural monuments. A total of 28 projects were submitted, with ten projects, including the Fuchshofschule, receiving awards. The prize for the main prize winners is 12,500 euros each, while the other prize winners receive 8,000 euros.
