Founded in 1899, the Munich orphanage has 134 places and offers a temporary home for children from a wide variety of backgrounds. It offers educational care in the residential home and in the day care center with a focus on social, curative and psychological measures. The entire gymnasium was renovated, including new steel beams to which rings for gymnastics were attached. The existing floor was replaced with a modern sprung floor. To generally improve the indoor climate, the surrounding latex paint was removed from all walls and panels with integrated window covers and radiator cladding were installed. A mirror for dancing and a modern bouldering wall were integrated to expand and improve usability. Those involved in the project, but above all the children and young people at the orphanage, can now really look forward to the new gym!
After the long construction period, the renovation of the Munich orphanage's gymnasium was finally completed in spring 2023 and officially opened as part of a sports festival for children. In addition to the ceremonial inauguration of the gym, the children had a lot of fun testing their skills at various stations under the supervision of SIXT employees. The atmosphere was great and the children were shining as brightly as the sun that day!
“We have a great new gym that is well attended and is therefore constantly fully booked. It enables all of our children to train and sport drives away sad thoughts. Many thanks to the Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation!”, Katrin Breu, management of the Munich orphanage
