 It is likely that there was a 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) in the 18th century.School documents in the Speyer State Archive tell the reader that in 1845, a prospective schoolteacher named Wilhelm Hahn was teaching school lessons at a private dwelling.Hahn was soon asked to find a new job, since he was to be replaced by a schoolteacher who held a diploma.
