Seven School Wonders

Our school is situated in Buchloe. This is a small town in the southern part of Bavaria. Founded around 800 A.D., it was officially registered for the first time in 1150. Buchloe, the third largest local authority in the rural district and often called the "gateway to the Allgäu", has nowadays a population of over 11800 people. Due to good road and rail connections, there is no problem in going to Augsburg, Munich or Füssen.

Well known companies, even beyond the borders of Bavaria made Buchloe an attractive place for industry and commerce. "mmmmh.....Exquisa" is the brand name for a cream cheese, made by the dairy company "Karwendel".
And who wouldn't like to drive one of the "Alpina" automobiles, based on BMW cars and developed and produced in Buchloe.
