The district of Stendal regularly informs affected school and club representatives about the status of the renovation work on the sports hall at the "Karl Marx" secondary school in the Hanseatic town of Osterburg. "We are pleased that partial use is now possible from March 30," says Patrick Puhlmann. This means that, in addition to the hall area itself, the changing rooms and sanitary facilities to the left and right of the main entrance can be used again, the district administrator continued. Clubs wishing to use the hall with these restrictions should contact Sina Winkler in the district administration's building management department by email in advance. The assembly and TÜV approval of the sports equipment will take place during the Easter vacations, so that school sports will also be possible again.
Background
The sports hall at the "Karl Marx" secondary school in the Hanseatic town of Osterburg is in need of renovation. Assessments carried out by TÜV experts confirmed the assessment of the district of Stendal in May 2025. This resulted in the closure from the summer vacations in order to carry out the necessary measures. Due to supply bottlenecks, the partial use planned for the winter vacations was postponed.
