Department of Health Honors Winning Class of the J1 Campaign 2026

Physical activity, dexterity, and exciting challenges: Under the slogan “The Golden Ticket,” everything at Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium in Ludwigsburg recently revolved around the youth health examination (J1). Today’s Class 8b—which was Class 7b last school year—won the district-wide contest for the J1 campaign. The Health Department of the Ludwigsburg District Administration has now honored the winning class. The campaign reaches over 5,000 students in all seventh-grade classes in the Ludwigsburg district each year.

Class 8b at the Otto-Hahn-Gymnasium in Ludwigsburg is thrilled to have won the “Golden Ticket” in the J1 campaign (Ludwigsburg District Office).

As part of the campaign, seventh-grade students were invited to learn about the J1 youth health screening in a fun and interactive way.

“We are pleased that Class 8b, led by homeroom teacher Claudia Weil, successfully participated in the competition last school year, thereby contributing a valuable component to our health prevention efforts,” said Principal Mathias Hilbert.

Dr. Uschi Traub, head of the Department of Health Promotion and Health Planning, and Filiz Ugur, a staff member at the public health department, informed the students about the J1 and its importance. “The ‘Golden Ticket’ symbolizes an invitation to focus on one’s own health and to view the J1 as a valuable resource,” explains Dr. Uschi Traub.

Fun Challenges Focused on Physical Activity and Knowledge

Inspired by the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” the students were able to demonstrate their dexterity, reaction time, and knowledge through games. In the game “Schokogier,” small chocolate bars had to be transported using wooden sticks. Another game, “Catch the Squirrel,” required teamwork and quick reflexes: while one person threw a stuffed squirrel, the other had to catch it with a small bucket. The limbo game “Make Yourself Small” tested agility. A quiz rounded out the activities.

J1: Important Preventive Care During Puberty

The J1 youth health examination is a freeearly-detection screening for girls and boys between the ages of 12 and 14, to which adolescents are legally entitled. It complements the ten “U” checkups conducted during a child’s first six years of life.

The early detection of diseases and risk factors that threaten physical, mental, and social development during puberty offers the opportunity to set the right course early on and to address any existing symptoms. In addition to the physical examination, counseling adolescents on issues related to their physical and mental development, vaccinations, and behavior is an essential component of the J1 checkup.
