Who’s behind it?

The Koblenz Gnome Forest at Oberwerth is a project by the Hildegard-von-Bingen School in Koblenz, a vocational school for future early childhood educators. What began as a small idea has become a regular part of practical craft lessons in the upper classes. The project was made possible by the generous support of Koblenz-Touristik and the Carl-Benz School in Koblenz.

Christmas preparations begin in summer in the Hildegard-von-Bingen School’s workshop. This year, the students have once again created more than 60 houses and several exciting activity stations. With imagination, craftsmanship and attention to detail, they designed and built their own unique little houses.

The City of Koblenz is another partner of the Gnome Forest. Cooperation with Koblenz-Touristik and the city marketing team made it possible to bring the idea to life. The Gnome Forest returns for its second year. We are especially grateful to the City of Koblenz for helping to plan the opening celebration and design the posters, flyers and banners.

We would also like to thank Koenitz, Klinge, Mr Schäfer of andmone Lichtdesign and Höfer Bakery for sponsoring the opening celebration.

The project brings together creative design, educational work and, this year, modern web development to create a special experience for visitors of all ages.
