Named after the world chess champion, 1896-1921?

Since one teacher is among the infected, a public school (Emanuel Lasker High School in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg) is now also closed until further notice, the spokesman for the Senate Education Administration, Martin Klesmann confirmed on Monday evening.

Seems so:

Emanuel Lasker (December 24, 1868 – January 11, 1941) was a German chess player, mathematician, and philosopher who was World Chess Champion for 27 years, from 1894 to 1921, the longest reign of any officially recognised World Chess Champion in history.

Our daughter might go to this HS some years from now. I could have easily enough walked to it but I happened to be on the bus passing it today.
