Kurpfalz News
Among Germany’s prominent family businesses
A place among Germany’s significant family businesses.
The Kurpfalz boarding school, together with Schloss Torgelow, is one of the 50 family businesses featured in the new book “The Secrets of German Family Businesses” published by Prestel Verlag. The publication will be released at the end of 2025 and will focus on those companies that have shaped Germany’s economy, culture, and stability for decades. That the Kurpfalz boarding school is part of this book fills us with special pride.
Why family businesses are so influential
Family businesses stand for reliability, long-term thinking, responsibility, and a culture that prioritizes values over short-term profits. In a time when schools and educational institutions face significant societal challenges, the book demonstrates how important this attitude is for sustainable success. In well-founded essays and 50 company profiles, it becomes clear how tradition and forward-thinking complement each other.
The Kurpfalz boarding school as a family business
Since its founding in 1961, the Kurpfalz boarding school has been run by the Lehmann family. This familial continuity is a central part of our identity. She fosters closeness, trust, and an attitude that shapes our everyday life: Children and adolescents are at the center, along with the responsibility to support them on their journey into life.
With small classes, a dedicated and competent faculty, and a learning culture that promotes both motivation and personality, we shape school as it should be. Personal. Reliable. Future-oriented.
Values that unite
The introduction to the new book makes it clear which values we live by daily at the Kurpfalz boarding school: courage to change, openness to innovation, a clear educational stance, and the awareness that education is a crucial factor for the future viability of our country.
The publication shows how closely successful family businesses are linked to responsibility, growth, and a value-oriented corporate culture. That we are presented as a boarding school in this context is a great recognition for us – and a confirmation of our work.
What this award means for the Kurpfalz boarding school
The inclusion in this international book project is not only an honor for our boarding school. It is also a visible sign of how powerful and effective a strong awareness of quality and the personal commitment of a family business can be.
The Kurpfalz boarding school has lived for decades by the belief that young people deserve an environment that strengthens, challenges, encourages, and accompanies them. That this attitude is now being recognized within the framework of a prestigious book project means a great deal to us.
