Children born between 1 July 2020 and 30 June 2021 will be of school age at the start of the 2027/2028 school year. Enrolment for primary school for these children will take place on Thursday 20 August 2026 and Tuesday 25 August 2026, from 2 pm to 6 pm on each day, at the chosen local primary school in the relevant school district.
If the child is enrolled at a privately run primary school, the relevant local authority primary school in the designated school catchment area must be notified in writing by 15 September 2026.
To enrol, at least one parent with parental responsibility must be present and must submit the following documents:
- a fully completed enrolment form (available at www.chemnitz.de as well as from the local education authority and municipal primary schools)
- identity card of the parent or guardian registering the child
- Birth certificate of the child starting school
- in the case of sole custody, appropriate proof thereof
To find out which school district you live in, you can use the interactive thematic map of the city of Chemnitz.
