Community festival of the Söhre Primary School in Diekholzen on the edge of the Hildesheimer Wald
The Söhre Primary School is located on the western slope of the Hildesheimer Wald in the municipality of Diekholzen, southwest of Hildesheim. It is the central educational institution for children from Diekholzen and the surrounding districts. Every year in early summer, it opens its doors for a large school festival where the entire village community meets in the schoolyard.
Characteristic of the festival are the numerous hands-on stations prepared by classes and parents: face painting, crafts, small sporting competitions, skill games, and stations related to learning content from everyday school life. The classes present small performances, dances, or theatre scenes that the children have often worked on for months. Parents and the parent-teacher association provide guests with coffee, cake, sausages, and cold drinks; the proceeds benefit school projects.
With around 5,000 inhabitants, Diekholzen is a small municipality in the south of the Hildesheim district. Its location by the Hildesheimer Wald makes it a popular starting point for hikes and bike tours. The Schulfest reflects the close cohesion of the community and is also a good opportunity for visitors from outside to get to know the friendly atmosphere of the village.
The Schulfest is the highlight and culmination of an intensive preparation phase. The children show their families what they have learned in lessons and extracurricular activities, from songs to dances, from experiments to sketches.
The exact programme for 2026 will be published by the school management in the spring. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: opening with a joint song, stage performances by the classes, parallel hands-on stations, and catering by the parents. The day concludes with families and teachers gathering for coffee and cake.
The Schulfest of the Söhre Primary School will take place on June 5, 2026. The exact time will be communicated by the school and the municipality of Diekholzen.
Söhre Primary School, Diekholzen (31199), in the school building and on the schoolyard.
Admission is free. Donations for school projects are welcome.
