In Schleswig-Holstein, schools have the opportunity to recognize outstanding work in European education with the "European School" certificate. This demonstrates their special commitment to preparing students and trainees for life and work in an international context, while simultaneously encouraging them to help shape our shared future in Europe. The school's mission is to raise awareness of the rapprochement between European peoples and states and the reorganization of their relationships. It should contribute to fostering a sense of European solidarity among the younger generation and developing an understanding that European connections are at work in many areas of our lives and that European decisions are required. The school also has the mission of fostering and developing respect for and interest in the diversity of languages and cultures, and this is precisely what is being implemented here at the European School in Schwarzenbek. https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/fachcontente/B/bildungInternational/europa.html?nn=581ff20a-336c-4643-a754-75b253f7fbdd

Our cemeteries are gardens of life. In the park areas, various deciduous and coniferous trees grow, high-quality plantings, right in the middle of Schwarzenbek and close to the citizens. They are oases of peace that invite contemplation and recreation. Hardly any cemetery visitor is left unmoved by the fascinating spectacle of the seasons. A walk through the cemeteries is closely linked to the various burial fields, e.g. Urn Garden, Silent Corner, Birch Grove, Perennial Garden, Rhododendron Grove, and Sun Field. People who are often in a comparable situation meet in the cemeteries. These encounters can provide comfort to the bereaved and broaden their future path in life. Therefore, it is important to preserve our two cemeteries and to adapt them to the circumstances again and again. The "New Cemetery" on Möllner Straße (first laid out in 1893) offers people from the North-East area, Mühlenkamp, and also all other citizens, a place to bury their deceased. In the chapel, which was taken over from the church community by the local funeral home Möller in 2018 and extensively renovated on their behalf, solemn funeral services are held again and relatives can say goodbye on site. After the redesign of the chapel, other events such as church services, concerts, and readings are also possible and planned. Both cemeteries are open for burials of all denominations and people of diverse spirituality. Thus, the Schwarzenbek cemeteries always reflect the current mix of society. https://www.kirche-schwarzenbek.de/friedhof/unsere-friedhoefe.html

Currently, 8 positive and 8 negative likes are polarizing...why? That's the question...opinions are always very different and that's a good thing, whatever the reason... Long live freedom of speech! 😉 With the photos, there are even only 2 positive and 3 negative...are the photos really that bad, or what could be the real reason for this...? Are the envy and resentment still so pronounced, or what am I doing wrong? I'd be really interested to know... Maybe someone will come out of hiding...just have the courage to tell the truth and not always just anonymous criticism. I would be really happy and expressly welcome it; that's the only way I can learn from it.👋👏😎👍
