Beschreibung

The "New Schoolhouse" completed in 1911 and the Uhland School that followed in 1956.

Due to the construction of the railway in 1861 and the subsequent rapid industrialisation of the village, the population doubled from 1870 to 1600 in 1908. An extension to the school building on Schulstraße in 1900 did little to alleviate the lack of space, so in February the local council decided to build another school building. A building site was purchased in Eisenbahnstraße for 4,937 marks. A prestigious building, which still characterises the town today, was completed in 1912. The construction costs totalled 62,249 marks, and the monthly wage of a worker at the time was 90 marks gross. The spacious building with a detached toilet block contained two large staff flats and a gymnasium in the basement, but only two classrooms. There were now 5 classrooms available for the whole village. These had to suffice through two world wars until the Uhland School was built in 1956.

Due to the very forward-looking construction method for the post-war conditions at the time, with a teaching pool, home economics school, eight classrooms as well as a music hall, physics and workroom, the municipality was also criticised in the local press. To this day, the community can be proud of the Uhland School, which has been extended and modernised several times. The school system has changed a lot since then, from the Protestant primary schools to the civic comprehensive school to today´s primary school, so that the building is sufficient for the primary school classes.
