history

The sports high school was founded as a children's and youth sports school (KJS) in 1953 . It was one of the last 25 schools in the GDR that specialized in sport. The school building was initially located in the former Berthold Otto School on Westring. A sports field with a cinder track and a side square were available there.

There was initially one hour of exercise and one hour of swimming a day, with no differentiation between different sports. All students completed the same athletic training. Later one went over to offering a general sports lesson, a differentiated training in individual sports was then ensured in sports working groups. In the school year 1954/55 there were the sports gymnastics / gymnastics, handball, athletics and swimming, which were offered by SG Aufbau Börde , a predecessor of SC Aufbau Magdeburg . Each student was only allowed to be a member of one section.

From the school year 1962/63, the sport education of the pupils was intensified. One went from afternoon training to forming individual classes for a sport and having the classes taught near the training location. School lessons and training alternated throughout the day. From this year it was also possible to do his Abitur after 13 years instead of 12 if the sporting activity did not allow otherwise. According to a decision by the Central Committee of the SED , the KJS Magdeburg should concentrate on the sports of swimming , jumping, gymnastics, athletics and water polo . There were 498 pupils who were taught in 21 classes by 46 teachers.

A little later the sponsored sports were changed again. Athletics, handball, soccer, canoeing, rowing and swimming should be promoted especially in Magdeburg, gymnastics, jumping and water polo were dropped. Until the move to the building, which is still in use today, in 1976, the class size was reduced to a maximum of 25, at the new location in Cracau there were 37 classes in which 387 pupils were taught by 42 teachers. Almost half of the young athletes lived in the boarding school. A short time later, the sport-specific training was placed in the hands of the full-time trainers of 1. FC Magdeburg and SC Magdeburg.

Like a “normal” school in the GDR, the KJS Magdeburg was also integrated into the SED system and the teachers were encouraged to ensure a “good political education” for the students. As part of the political reform in the GDR up to reunification , the party group at the school was abolished in December 1989. In order to continue working economically, the school was opened to more students, including a. In the first school year of reunified Germany there was a "general sports" class in grades 8 to 11. At the same time, the decision was made to restructure the school, at which it was previously possible to obtain secondary school leaving certificates and the Abitur, to a grammar school. In order to provide the previous junior high school students with further, sport-oriented schooling, the "Hans Schellheimer" secondary school was converted into a secondary sports school.

A € 2.3 million refurbishment took place in 2005, after which the sports boarding school was brought up to date in 2003 for € 2.5 million. Since January 1st, 2006 the sports high school has been under municipal sponsorship.
