The Freie Dorfschule Lübeck is defending itself against accusations and the closure of the facility by the Ministry of Education. The facility has never violated the concept approved by the ministry in 2015, said headmistress Andrea Buchholz on Tuesday.

She considered the revocation of the approval of the Free Village School to be a political decision. The school acknowledged that the documentation of the different learning settings of the pupils had not been comprehensible to the authorities. The concept of the private school includes, among other things, digital learning and learning in extracurricular places.
