What does this stand for?

So as some of you know I am starting to research possible tud dogs for the future for our female GSP. Some of the dogs I have looked at have a KS in front of their names. Is this a title abreviation for a German test? Thanks!

"KS" or "Kurzhaar Sieger" which means "Kurzhaar Champion". This title is gained at the Kleeman test, held every other year and only in Germany. The Kleeman combines both a Zuchtschau and a field test. What makes the KS title so difficult to obtain is that it in order to qualify to participate in the Kleeman, a dog must gain a Prize 1 in all of the required field tests from puppy-hood to finished utility dog, as well as several of the specialty retrieving and tracking tests. Gaining a KS title is truly a difficult journey that takes several years to accomplish."

Thank you! That makes the couple stud dogs a bit more appealing as well.
