history

The sports high school on Marschnerstrasse

The sports high school emerged in 1992 from the children's sports school in Leipzig , which was founded on September 1, 1952 . The children's sports school was one of the first four schools of its kind in the GDR. It was housed in the building of the 8th elementary school at Dölitzer Wincklerstrasse 3, where four sports teachers looked after 150 students in two classes from grades 5 to 7 each. When the building of the 43rd primary school in Max-Planck-Straße 1 was moved in 1953, the first children's and youth sports school (KJS) was established with classes 9 and 10 . After the increasing number of pupils, a new building with a sports hall and boarding school was opened at Marschnerstrasse 30 on September 1, 1971.

After the political change , the KJS was continued as a special school for sport. In 1992 it became a sports high school. The Free State of Saxony took over the school in 1994 under state sponsorship.

On January 27, 1998, the sports grammar school received the status of an elite sports school and has since been sponsored by the German Savings Banks and Giro Association. More than 100 world and European champions and more than 40 Olympic champions emerged from the sports school and its predecessor institution.
