Hello possible partners, the Maria-Merian Gymnasium Schkeuditz is situated in the beautiful small city of Schkeuditz which is right next to the vibrant city of Leipzig and is, thus, situated in the middle of Germany. Leipzig is famous for musicians such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Goethe wrote about it in his famous play 'Faust' and overall it has been important for famous writers due to its many publishing houses back in the day. This city has also played an important role during the peaceful revolution in 1989 which reunited Germany. Schkeuditz has been growing over the last decades due to its position next to the Halle/Leipzig Airport. Important companies are located here such as DHL, Porsche and Amazon.Our school is currently offering education to about 800 students from the age of 10 to 18. However, an exchange should be reserved for students from the age of 14 to 18.
