This time it’s about the hall floor in the triple gymnasium of the new Steinpark schools, which are scheduled to go into operation in autumn.
There had already been discussions about the color of a gym floor at the meeting of the culture committee in December. At that time it was about a fresh lime yellow for the new gymnasium in the Vöttinger school. This had been the subject of controversy when the color concept was presented. In particular, the city councilors Susanne Günther (Greens), Andreas Mehltretter (SPD) and Robert Weller (Free Voters) could not get used to it.
Susanne Günther criticized the fact that the different colors in the Freising sports halls confused the children from club sports because they trained in different halls and had to change over and over again when changing. The orange playing field markings are also hardly recognizable on the yellow ground. That should be reconsidered.
There were no discussions on Tuesday when the color design of the hall floor in the new Steinpark schools was presented. The hall floor is gray, to be more precise elephant grey, is what the manufacturer calls this color (Photo: Frrb Architects).

There are no restrictions on the planned color. All common sports according to the line plan could be carried out without restrictions on the intended ground,” said the most recent meeting of the culture committee on Tuesday. Elephant gray then also found the unanimous approval of the committee.
