Essen newly thought: Rohrbach-Berg's schools celebrate sustainability project!

In the small community of Rohrbach-Berg, everything revolves around nutrition. On June 2, 2025, a large -scale day of action took place in the Centro, which marked the crowning glory of the “Around Essen” project. The five schools in the region- from elementary and middle school to vocational schools to the school for health and nursing- brought together students, parents and teachers in order to illuminate the social and the sustainable importance of food. Laut MeinBezirk war der Tag ein voller Erfolg, geleitet von den beiden Schülern Miriam Kropfmüller und Olivia Hauer.

Information stands offered an insight into topics such as food packaging and sugar content, while the pleasure course, organized by Roland Berlinger, attracted special attention. "Essen not only has a physical, but also a social meaning in many cultures," said headmaster Hans-Peter Indra. Mayor Andreas Lindorfer also underlined the importance of the topics of regionality and sustainability, which shaped a large part of the event.

Perception against regional food is often shaped by misunderstandings. Sustainability lived must also bring tangible measures to ensure healthy and fair conditions for everyone.

This not only strengthens people's health, but also remains within the stress limits of our planet. A large part of the solution is to reduce the consumption of animal products, so DetailsOrtRohrbach-Berg, ÖsterreichQuellen
