 Several requests in the decades that followed to the government to establish the village's own, independent schooling came to naught, and thus in the 18th century, there was only winter school (a school geared towards an agricultural community's practical needs, held in the winter, when farm families had a bit more time to spare).Nevertheless, Langenbachers kept on maintaining their own school, for the way to school in Konken was quite far and also rather unpleasant.It became clear, though, that schoolteachers were not lining up to be hired to live and work in Langenbach.
