 * __ The Creation of Strothoff International School __**

One of the biggest sponsors of Strothoff International School is the SBW(**S**chule für **B**erufs- und **W**eiterbildung), which is the official construct company and design the school outside as well as the interior. It was actually planned by Mr. Walter, who is the district administrator of Offenbach. It was already planned to build a private school in the year 2005 because in the south area of Frankfurt was a high request for an international school. So Mr. Walter and Mr. Strothoff came to the conclusion to build it in Dreieich because it’s a good location near Frankfurt and Hans Strothoff’s company is there too. Before Hans Strothoff took over the project, many people were asked to invest and participate in this project. After all Mr. Strothoff decided to take over the direction on his own. He invested 15 million Euros to build //his// school. ”He wanted to support the German economy and society to offer well situated families with an excellent school education” and he knows from experience that when many people take part in a project there are always others decision. (Dr. Schmid)

Among others, he also invested in each classroom brand new technological school material, and brilliant school accommodation. This should give the students an accomodable atmosphere where they study and spent half of their day.
