history

On April 7, 1924, the “State High School for Girls” was opened in the Connewitz district of Leipzig , initially housed in rented rooms and an emergency building. In 1930 the school moved into its own building, and in 1931 the school was named after the Germanist Rudolf Hildebrand . In the following years the school was converted into a six-level higher school for girls, and a larger school area was built. The school was completely destroyed during the air raids on Leipzig on December 4, 1943.

The school system was then moved to the neighboring Markkleeberg. After a few years in provisional quarters, the “United Elementary and High School for Boys and Girls” opened in Markkleeberg-Mitte in 1947, and in 1948 it was renamed “Rudolf Hildebrand School”. The school's boarding school opened in 1950. In the times of the GDR , the school was divided into the "Markkleeberg-Mitte Primary School" and the "Rudolf Hildebrand High School". Special musical classes with the main focus on choral music have been offered since 1976 .

After reunification , the school was relocated to Markkleeberg-West, and in 1992 it was restructured into a grammar school with in-depth training . Due to the increasing number of pupils, several school expansions were made in the 1990s. The current building on the east bank of the Cospudener See was opened in 2004, the boarding school was extensively renovated in 2007.

In 2017, after three years of research by the group, seven stumbling blocks were laid in the city.
