The Federal Police Sports School Kienbaum supports athletes in Olympic sports

Funding is generally given to those Olympic sports in which the Federal Republic of Germany can successfully present itself at the Olympic Games as well as World and European Championships. The equivalent for winter sports is the Bad Endorf Federal Police Sports School .

In addition to general suitability for the law enforcement service, the prerequisite for admission to the federal police's elite sport sponsorship is that applicants practice a sport that is sponsored by the federal police and that top performance at world level can be achieved in a sport-specific prognosis by the elite sport associations . Furthermore, a federal cadre status is mandatory.

After the end of their sporting career, almost 90 percent of the athletes remain with the Federal Police and are employed in a wide variety of functions in the middle police force.

The training to become a law enforcement officer in the middle-level police force takes the form of modularized block training. The four training phases are usually completed over a period of four years. While the police training and the necessary discipline-specific training are carried out side by side from September to December, the following eight months are available exclusively for the preparation for the season or the competition season.

After the training, the athletes are released from the police force for the duration of their athletic career. Four weeks a year, they complete a four-week knowledge-preserving internship at a federal police station.

Historical development

The Federal Police's sports promotion facility for summer and year-round sports was initially launched in 1999 with ten top athletes (athletics, cycling, judo) and initially as a two-year project phase under the name of the Federal Police Performance Sports Project in Cottbus . In 2007 it was opened to other sports (canoeing, rowing, shooting).

By decision of the Interior Minister at the time , Hans-Peter Friedrich , the location was relocated from Cottbus to the Kienbaum Federal Training Center in June 2011 for technical and economic reasons .
