Amidst the heavy snowfall that swept through Upper Bavaria on Saturday, schools in two districts - Mühldorf am Inn and Starnberg - will have a modified schedule on Monday. In light of the treacherous road conditions, the local education authority suggested that public schools in Mühldorf am Inn transition to distance learning on Monday. This decision aimed to safeguard students from potentially hazardous commutes[1].
Meanwhile, in Starnberg, classes for grades 1 to 6 in both primary and secondary schools have been cancelled entirely. However, emergency care will still be provided. Secondary schools, such as Realschulen and Gymnasien, retain the freedom to decide between offering distance learning or cancelling classes entirely. Regrettably, no emergency care or supervision will be available at these institutions[1].
Looking to the ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs for guidance on school closures, you'll find regular updates readily available[2]. For some additional perspectives, check out the following links:
As heavy snowfall engulfs Upper Bavaria, it gives rise to significant disruptions, such as school closures and cancellations. The Districts of Mühldorf am Inn and Starnberg are no exception, responsible for the current shift to distance learning or complete cancellations for certain schools[1].
Beyond these affected districts, adverse weather has markedly affected other regions in Bavaria, leading to school closures and event cancellations. The König Ludwig Lauf 2025 – a long-distance ski race in the Ammergau Alps – was unfortunate enough to get called off due to poor snow conditions and dangerous weather[1].
When it comes to severe weather, schools in Germany often turn to flexible solutions like distance learning or alternative arrangements to prioritize student safety[1]. For the most current and detailed information regarding Mühldorf am Inn and Starnberg districts, it's essential to look to local news sources or school district websites.[1][2]
