The RTL children’s centre in Nuremberg opens its doors in the pre-Christmas period

The first group of children moved into the new RTL children’s centre in the south of Nuremberg at the beginning of December. The nursery and kindergarten started with 20 boys and girls aged from one to four. Just the right time to provide the children with a place where they feel safe and protected for the Christmas season.

The model project of the Rummelsberger Dienste (Rummelsberger services), started by the groundbreaking on 15 March 2011, shows the successful implementation of a partnership network. Its members would like to give children in the south part of the city perspectives for a life without poverty.

In order that a grandiose idea could become reality, Thomas Sabo and his wife Luz Enith Sabo made a personal commitment as part of the RTL Donation Marathon 2011 and through their efforts collected over 500,000 euros, thus laying the foundation stone for this successful project.

While building work is still progressing in the outdoor area, and also on the city play area, the ground floor already offers the children cosiness, warmth and security. The appearance of the rooms is characterised by light wood, developed by the Rummelsberger joinery based on the Würzburger model. The rooms are divided into diffierent areas, intended to encourage the talents of each child through a pedagogically conceived concept.

On 1 March 2012, the centre with 36 nursery and 75 kindergarten places will go into full service.

We are pleased with this positive development and would like to thank all partners and fans for their support!
