[Development of body-height in children from Görlitz (author's transl)]

The growth from birth till to last school-health-examination of 3 annual-sets (1957, 1958 and 1959) in the town of Goerlitz is presented. There are significant differences between the sexes. The growth of girls is more harmonious than that of boys. The growth rate in puberty in girls starts earlier and ends quicker. In boys the same phaenomenon begins later. The period of growth in boys is longer and produces a higher result.
