 In Dietschweiler, as early as the late 18th century, there was a Catholic 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), which had been made possible through an endowment.There must however already have been a Protestant winter school, too.In 1823, “both schoolhouses” were supposedly auctioned, one of which was a Protestant schoolteacher's house into which he had built a schoolroom.
