Berlin, 08.09.2025
Dear parents,
Unfortunately, I have to give you some bad news that we all did not expect. We have to close both canteens.
On Monday morning (08.09.2025) there was water in the cellar. We didn’t know where it was coming from. An initial plumbing company told us that there was a massive blockage that could not be cleared by a simple cleaning. We therefore commissioned another company to repair the damage. This company also determined that the fault could only be rectified by a repair.
This means that water can no longer be used to clean the dishes, floors and other areas in the kitchen area of both canteens. As both kitchens are connected to the same sewage system, we have an emergency situation. Therefore, both kitchens must be closed.
We assume that the repair will take about a week. However, this is only an estimate; if it goes faster, we will of course offer hot food again immediately.
We have ordered packed lunches for this week.
If you have any further questions, please contact us.
Yours sincerely,
Andreas Schnelle
Principal
Update 09.09.2025
The fault in the wastewater pipes was rectified without the need for a major repair.
During the vacations, a hardened lump of grease had formed and was blocking one of the wastewater pipes.
From Thursday, 11.09.2025, hot meals will be available again in both canteens.
