The Schönau shrine path

Short description

Within the framework of teaching and in their free time, the pupils of the Schönau elementary school explore, document and photograph the small monuments in and around the place of their school according to the criteria of monument research.

The schoolchildren survey the owners and conduct an interview with them. Then they compile the information and transfer it into corresponding sheets according to the specifications of the monument research.

To make a longer stage of the way more entertaining, the schoolchildren also make the "Schönauer Schulkreuzweg".

To not forget these places of remembrance, information boards are designed and installed. Furthermore, a brochure is being prepared.
