Christian Morgenstern Primary School

A new playground was opened at Christian Morgenstern Primary School in Spandau in November 2025. What makes it special is that it was a gift from the American football team Indianapolis Colts and the National Football League (NFL) Foundation to the children of the school. It was intended to mark the first regular NFL season game played in Berlin on 9 November 2025. The playground was built by Richter Spielgeräte in collaboration with their long-standing partner STANGNETH.

The highlight of the playground is the nine-metre-high pyramid tower which, with its striking shape, provides a special visual presence and a unique identity. The ‘Colts blue’ colour scheme and the football team’s horseshoe logo add further visual accents. The straight slide together with the six-metre-high winding tunnel slide, both made of stainless steel, offer plenty of variety on the playground. During breaks, the tower-slide combination gets many children moving at the same time. By allowing them to experience height and speed, it adds a vivid dynamic to the schoolyard.

Another highlight is the climbing structure made of handcrafted robinia roundwood. Here, too, many children can play and climb in a small space. The structure offers a variety of opportunities for experiencing height and developing the senses with hands and feet. Climbing also gives children a sense of achievement, which boosts their self-confidence.

On 7 November 2025, the Christian Morgenstern Primary School community celebrated the opening of the new playground together with representatives from the Indianapolis Colts, the NFL Foundation, and the Spandau District Office. We are delighted to be part of this special transatlantic project and to have created a place for physical activity, interaction and enjoyment with our playground equipment.
