Team Building Event Schaeffler AG
Perfect late-summer weather accompanied our Geocaching tour through Herzogenaurach and set the mood from the start.
On September 3, 2025 at 4:30 PM, 42 employees of Schaeffler AG met me at the Ostpforte Schaeffler AG at the corner of Galgenhofer Straße. After a brief welcome and introduction, the participants were divided into seven teams, equipped with tablets and the CityHunters app, and then sent out onto the course.
The combination of puzzles, team tasks, and discovering the town is what makes our team building experience in Herzogenaurach so special: the teams followed coordinates, solved challenges at well-known and hidden locations, and uncovered charming corners of Herzogenaurach, such as the Herzogenaurach City Museum, the Evangelical town church, and the tower of the former Lower Gate. Each station brought new fun and encouraged collaboration.
During the roughly three-hour tour, the teams moved independently and competed for points — success required good reasoning, creativity, and strong team spirit. I remained reachable by phone and stepped in whenever questions came up or technical support was needed.
After exactly three hours everyone gathered again at the Ostpforte for the awards ceremony to look back on the most exciting moments. The atmosphere was relaxed, there was a lot of laughter, and the teams' successes were celebrated. Events like this demonstrate how effective a team building experience in Herzogenaurach can be: learning, fun, and shared memories in a lovely setting.
Congratulations to the winning team Big Fours with 345 points — closely followed by Pathfinders in second place, also with 345 points. In third place was Mad group with 330 points. All teams worked wonderfully together and made the event a special experience.
My conclusion as a CityHunters team guide: Geocaching combines adventure with team spirit and lets you discover Herzogenaurach in a whole new way. I am already looking forward to the next team building experience in Herzogenaurach and more exploration tours through this wonderful town.
