A Visit to Falkansee Town Hall (Classes 3b and 3i)
Hello to
everyone, it’s me Knut! Here you can read my report about
visiting the Mayor of Falkensee.
On
Thursday, 19th February 2009, the pupils of the classes 3b
and 3i took me to the Town Hall Falkensee. There we met the
Mayor, Mr Heiko Müller. The children had a nice talk with
him about their hometown Falkensee. They wanted to know lots
of important and interesting things.
We were
in the conference room that is special because of its window
panes. These panes are coloured and show the history of
Falkensee.
So I
have learned some interesting facts:
-
The
community Falkensee was founded in1923 by uniting the
two villages of Falkenhagen and Seegefeld
-
The
community grew and got lager. In 1961 the town Falkensee
was founded. At that time the town had about 20,000
inhabitants.
The
Falkensee coat of arms
-
There were six schools in Falkensee, lots of sports
clubs, one cinema and some factories, e.g.
plastics-processing industry, jewellery making,
furniture industry and machine building for agriculture.
-
After the Fall of the Wall in 1989 the town extended
more and more. Many Berlin inhabitants moved house to
Falkensee, because they wanted to live in a green aria.
-
Nowadays Falkensee has 40,000 inhabitants. There are 5
primary school, two secondary schools, 2 grammar
schools, a conservatory and lots of day nurseries.
-
To
spend their leisure time, children and adults can choose
between the different sports clubs, can go to the
cinema, to the outdoor swimming-pool or to concerts in
the town hall.
The
Mayor Mr Müller told the pupils something about his job, as
well. He always has to be patient to manage and solve all
the different problems in the town.
Sitting
on Jonas’ lap I paid attention to all the questions the
children were interested in.
Finally,
we visited the Register Office. This is a special room I the
town hall where people can marry when they are at least 18
years old.
It was a
nice trip that day. We thanked the Mayor and his
co-operators. Although we all were a bit tired we were happy
about that visit.
Yours,
Knut
