The sports school of the Bundeswehr (SportSBw) in Warendorf is an office of the armed forces base . Its core mission is to train sports instructors for the Bundeswehr .

history

precursor

The school was preceded by the Army Sports School in Wünsdorf near Berlin (founded in 1914), the Marines Sports School in Flensburg - Mürwik (founded in 1924) and the Air Force Sports School in Berlin-Spandau (founded in the 1930s). The schools in question were heavily involved in the 1928 Summer Olympics and 1936 Summer Olympics . The marine sports school still exists today and is part of the Mürwik naval school .

Founding of the Bundeswehr sports school

The Bundeswehr sports school was opened on February 5, 1957 in Sonthofen im Allgäu and was located there until it was moved to its current location in Warendorf , Westphalia, in 1978 . Since the foundation stone was laid by then Defense Minister Georg Leber on November 15, 1974, the Bundeswehr's “new” sports school has been built on the site of the former military district riding and driving school . After four years of construction, the first course could be held in one of the most modern and largest interconnected sports facilities in Germany. On July 6, 2017, the property in Warendorf was named after the laying of the foundation stone in Georg-Leber-Kaserne . A branch of the sports school has remained in Sonthofen to this day.

Order and offer

The current range of training includes 38 different courses in which up to 3000 officers and NCOs take part each year . The offer ranges from courses for instructors , recognized by the German Olympic Sports Confederation , to courses for professional sport instructors in sports such as football, handball, swimming and lifeguarding, alpine skiing and many more.

On an area of ​​40 hectares are u. a. a football and athletics stadium with floodlights for 8,000 spectators, two swimming pools with seating for up to 600 spectators, an athletics hall and many other halls, sports fields and playing fields.

In addition to the course-related training for sports instructors in the Bundeswehr, the contract also includes the organization of military world championships and the support of local sports clubs. Due to this contract, the infrastructure of the sports school is available to the clubs from Warendorf on a daily basis.
