The sports school Potsdam "Friedrich Ludwig Jahn" is a comprehensive school in Potsdam . It has been recognized by the German Olympic Sports Confederation as an elite school of sport and by the German Football Association as an elite school of football .
history
In 1952, a children's and youth sports school was founded in Brandenburg an der Havel . 25 years later the company moved to the district capital Potsdam. It is named after Friedrich Ludwig Jahn , who, as the initiator of the German gymnastics movement, is also known as the "gymnastics father".
At peak times, over 600 pupils attended the sports school, which specializes in the types of gymnastics for boys only, swimming , fencing , athletics , rowing and canoeing . At the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul , 29 students from the Potsdam Sports School were members of the GDR team and won 31 medals. After the German reunification , the continued existence of the school was in danger. In April 1991 the state of Brandenburg took over the sponsorship. For this, the school had to give up its focus on competitive sport.
In July 1996, Klaus Rüdiger Ziemer took over the management of the school and converted the institute back into a sports school. At the same time, the close cooperation with the women's soccer club 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam began . In 2001, the Potsdam Sports School was recognized as an elite sports school. Iris Gerloff took over the management of the school in February 2017.
In October 2011, criminal charges were brought against two 16-year-old boarders for bullying attacks on two 13 and 14-year-old classmates. The home management was then completely suspended as they were accused of not responding to the incident.
In 2014, the students of the Potsdam Sports School stood on the podium 20 times at international championships, and twelve gold medals were presented. The medal winners include soccer player Pauline Bremer , triathlete Laura Lindemann , discus thrower Henning Prüfer , pentathlete Fabian Liebig and judoka Philipp Galandi and Martin Setz .
In 2014 Laura Lindemann was recognized by the DOSB as an elite student of sport . This year she not only won the German championship, but also became world and European junior champion.
Elite school of football
The women's Bundesliga team 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam has been cooperating with the sports school since 1995 in order to enable talented female players to receive training in both school and football. The network system has produced numerous Bundesliga and national players over the years . On December 20, 2007, the Potsdam Sports School was recognized by the German Football Association as an elite football school. It was the first of four elite schools today that exclusively support girls.
Additive Abitur
The Potsdam Sports School is the first German school to offer its students the additional Abitur . The prerequisite for this project, which has been officially approved by the Conference of Ministers of Education , is the so-called school time extension. A practice that has been tried and tested for many years, in which the twelfth grade is extended to a period of two years. This adds up to 14 years of schooling. Talented athletes can then take their four compulsory tests on the last three.
20 of the around 70 to 80 graduates of a year group take this route to higher education entrance qualification . In the event that a subject is actually to be completed in the first year of the examination phase, a student receives twice the amount of the subject matter. The young people are then taught individually or in small groups. When they are in training camps , they receive the content on an e-learning platform on the Internet. The exams are taken quite regularly as part of the state's central high school diploma.
