History
In 2002,
From the 2000s, the project was realised in steps.[4] In 2003, the Leipzig architects' firm Weis & Volkmann was included in the planning.[5][4] The first by-law was drawn by the jurist Frieder Schäuble, and a concept for new institutions was presented,[5] for a bilingual day care centre, a primary school and a middle school, a music academy, and the Lutherkirche as a building with several functions.[8] They were to be connected to the existing Thomasalumnat and sports facilities.[4] A project of the city of Leipzig, it has been recognised as innovative and unique in Germany.[3][9] The city estimated the total investment as Euro 30 million.[10]
The campus was inaugurated in 2012, for the 800th anniversary of the Thomanerchor. Its motto is "glauben singen lernen" (believing singing learning).[11] Up to 1,200 boys and young men are taught with the goal to raise culturally educated young people with a religious foundation, social competence and democratic standing ("mehr kulturell gebildete, religiös gebundene, sozial kompetente, demokratisch gesinnte Menschen") for a better society.[1][2]
The idea of a campus became a model for similar projects of city development (Stadtentwicklung) in
In 2012, the Thomanerchor was awarded a special prize of the Echo Klassik for its international education campus.[13]
