Child-Friendly and Family-Friendly District

Riedberg is ideal for families with children. There are already seven day-care centres for all age groups in Riedberg. This should rise to twelve at some time in the future. A primary school with an after-school group has been open since 2004 and another will be build in 2014. The Gymnasium Riedberg (Riedberg secondary school) is already open and is currently housed in a pavilion building. This secondary school focuses on natural sciences and billingual studies. The new building was started last year and will be completed in 2013. The construction of additional day-care facilities started in 2011.  In addition, the natural science departments of the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main and other reseach institutions of the Science City Frankfurt-Riedberg are located in Riedberg. This allows children to complete their whole education in Riedberg in the future: from kindergarden to school to university degree.

The leisure activites available for children and young people are also diverse: in addition to two large parks, Riedberg also has numerous playgrounds and a football field. The construction of a sports facility will start in spring 2011. Those who are interested can also meet children of a similar age in one of the church's children's clubs or youth groups or they can use the Billabong family centre. In addition, sports clubs in the primary school gymnasium offer attractive sports courses for all ages.
