The Die Katze kindergarten is the symbol of Franco-German friendship. It is the result of the operation "a Europe without borders" between the region of Baden-Württemberg and Alsace. Tomi Ungerer , an internationally renowned artist who is both an ambassador of childhood and of Alsatian descent, has partnered with Ayla-Suzan Yöndel's architects' office to create this daring place. He chose his favorite animal to make an extraordinary school, which he characterizes as "a smart and conscious animal", so perfect for inspiring children. Squatting like a sphinx, he watches for his prey, ready to jump on it. In the manner of a mouse that is swallowed, children enter through the mouth of the cat. The unfolded tongue serves as the front door and the hall jaws. The legs are spaces dedicated to the game. The belly of the cat consists of a cloakroom, classrooms, a kitchen, a dining room and a staircase. The anatomical visit continues to the floor. The cat's head is a main room, bathed in light through the eyes and ears. A flat roof, where grass grows, draws the coat of the cat and, like any digestion that respects itself, the mice are evacuated in case of rescue from below the tail! The top could only be a toboggan for crazy sledding. A hundred children benefit from this extraordinary place. Everything is done so that they learn while having fun. It is in their adult life that they can remember with nostalgia for their childhood, because it is not given to everyone to have spent his first years in a cat.
Kindergarten Die Katze, Wettersteinstr. 16a, Wolfartsweier, Germany.
