Back to School in Bucharest (2,295 km)

(2022-05-04/07) There are any number of state and private schools in Bucharest. Every self-respecting nation maintains or supports at least one school of its own; the Japanese School even sends a manga camper van into the race. Since 2021, Deutsche Schule Bukarest (DSBU) has a new campus designed to gather educational spaces for students, starting from kindergarten to high school.

It was my privilege to have my good friend Adrian Marinescu guide me around campus. It is also he who, alongside a dedicated volunteer team and especially in collaboration with Board Chair Friederike Gribkowsky, has made it happen; June 2021 Friederike was honored with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for her tireless commitment.

The DSBU is a new foundation, but a German School has existed in Bucharest at various locations for 270 years. Today it is the German Goethe College on 17, Stanislav Cihoschi Street. When I went to school (third school desk left) in the mid to late 1960s on Nuferilor Street - today General Berthelot-Street - we, that is my up to 40 (!) classmates and I, could only have dreamed of the conditions at DSBU.

On the way to Bucharest, I overtook a convoy of military vehicles. Of course, I don't know if these vehicles are destined for Ukraine or Romania. In any case, they are military supplies from France - Vive la France!
