history

After the Second World War , the families of the Belgian occupying forces also came to Bergisch Gladbach. Many houses were built for them in Frankenforst. A school was built for them on Taubenstrasse so that the children could go to school.

When the last Belgian armed forces withdrew around 2000, the school initially remained empty and was renovated. In 2006 the Catholic primary school, which had been located on Fasanenstrasse until then, moved to Taubenstrasse. The horseshoe-shaped building was particularly suitable as an open all-day school . As such, the school continues to operate to this day.

The Belgian School Frankenforst is registered as monument no. 162 in the list of architectural monuments in Bergisch Gladbach .
