 It is highly likely that there were already efforts underway in Wiesweiler as early as the 16th century to teach the village children to read and write, as the Counts Palatine of Zweibrücken had introduced the Reformation and were interested in putting the country's children in the position of being able to read the Bible.Classes were held in an ordinary house.The first known teacher, who was actually not a teacher by training, was named Molitor.
