Locations of the officers' college of the border troops "Rosa Luxemburg"

The officers' college of the border troops (OHS der GT) in Suhl was named Rosa Luxemburg and was a military college of the GDR . It served the training of commanders for sub-units and units of the border troops of the GDR from the Zug level to the battalion and of political officers in positions of the company to battalion level.

history

At the teaching facility created in 1951 (former name: DGP-Zentralschule) in Sondershausen of the then border police , officers for border service were trained first in short-term courses, later in one- and two-year courses. In 1955 the "Political School of the Border Police" was established, at which political officers with specific knowledge and experience were prepared and oriented for their work.

With the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the state and party leadership of the GDR made higher demands on the security, especially of the inner-German border and thus the border security forces as a whole, who were to grow up to be the border troops of the GDR . According to our own understanding, this objective could only be achieved with appropriately ideologically motivated and professionally qualified management staff.

The land forces of the NVA provided significant support . At the same time, the establishment of its own management training center was prepared with determination. On December 2, 1963, the opening was the military academy of the border troops with location Plauen . She was given the troop flag on March 1, 1964 and the honorary name "Rosa Luxemburg" was given by the chief of the border troops, Lieutenant General Erich Peter .

The teaching facility , which initially had the character of a technical college , went on to train officers of the GDR border troops for several years. The training level was the position of platoon leader with a briefing in the position of company commander of a border company.

With effect from February 25, 1971, the previous technical college was given the status of an officers' college . In the years that followed, the level of training was characterized not only in purely military and military-technical, mathematical-scientific, pedagogical-psychological and foreign language training but above all in partisan education and upbringing.

The university education also required a higher qualification of the management and teaching staff, who were grouped in the new sections social sciences , border officers and general basic training , as well as the chairs, teaching and specialist groups assigned to them.

The three-year officer training included an internship in the second and third year of study. With a multi-part main examination, the officer's vow, the appointment as lieutenant and the associated award of the professional title of university engineering economist , the course was completed. The graduate thus had the prerequisites to take up further studies at the Friedrich Engels Military Academy or the Wilhelm Pieck Military Political College, after having been tried and tested in the troop service, with appropriate assessment and given the need for a cadre .

On September 1, 1983, the officers' college went over to four-year training with a diploma. The graduates now finished their studies with the academic degree of a graduate engineer pedagogue or a graduate social scientist . On September 5, 1984 the location was relocated from Plauen to Suhl.
