On Tuesday, we celebrated the topping-out ceremony at the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium in Münster — a significant moment for everyone involved in the project.

The completion of an important phase of construction was marked by the traditional carpenter’s toast and a group nail-driving ceremony. Katrin Niggemann from the Office of Real Estate Management, school principal Dr. Christina Diehl, and Kilian Kresing looked back on the project’s progress to date and provided an outlook on the next steps.

About 60 guests from the trades, government, schools, and politics then took the opportunity to network—and to take a tour of the building’s shell.

Thank you to everyone who helps move this project forward every day.
