The Alter Teichweg district school is a large, well-known Hamburg school with over 1,800 students in the city's poorest neighborhood. In spring 2025, the principal took a three-month leave. Three very different successors took over his desk and power. THE POWER VACUUM was an extraordinary theater and democracy experiment conducted during ongoing school operations, making big waves at the school and beyond.
