German Exchange

Posted: 20/04/2015

Twenty pupils took part in Bromsgrove's annual exchange trip to the Gymnasium Hermannswerder in Potsdam, Germany.

 The pupils undertook a variety of activities including visits to The Reichstag (Germany’s parliament building), Checkpoint Charlie, Libeskind’s world famous Jewish Museum and the Berlin Wall Museum.

Potsdam is Germany’s largest UNESCO world heritage site and the pupils were able to visit a number of the Prussian palaces in Potsdam including Frederick the Great’s Sans Souci summer palace.

The pupils enjoyed staying with their host families and had the opportunity to speak a lot of German as well as marvelling at the efficient public transport system we used to get around.

 The group was fantastic and highly praised by both the German school and the host families.
