Figure 1.--Here we see the primary school at Moschendorf, a section of the town of Hof in Bavaria . Hof is located in northern Bavaria near Saxony border, on the Saale River. It must have been a sbnstantial school with several different classes. We have two portraits taken in 1924. The girls mostly wear pinafores over their dresses. The boys wear suits, including a few sailor suits. Almost all the girls are barefoot. We can not see the boys, but they are presumably barefoot also. These portraits. are a good reflection of the difficult economic conditions in post-War Germany. Most pre-War school portraits show German children wearing shoes, especially in city schools. Put the cursor on the image for an enlarged detail.
