Applications in Recent Years
According to the official figures, Paul-und-Charlotte-Kniese-Schule had enough places in 2026/27.

A comparison with other schools in the same year holds, a trend over time does not. Most recently, in 2026/27, there were 57 first-choice applications for 104 places. That is a demand ratio of 55 percent.
