 This was given an upper floor in 1929, and served as a schoolhouse until 1987.With interruptions in wartime (namely the Second World War) and the immediate post-war years, the school was run with two classes, with level-1 to level-4 pupils in one and level-5 to level-7 (or level-8) pupils in the other.On 1 December 1966, a "Mittelpunktschule" (“midpoint school”, a central school, designed to eliminate smaller outlying schools) opened in Kusel, and Schellweiler schoolchildren in levels 7 and 8 began attending that.
