Figure 1.-- This is a school photo taken in Haag, near Windpassing, in Bavaria. This is a little confusing because there are several Windpassings located in neigboring regions of Bavaria and Upper Austria. The photo was taken in 1950. Haag is a village about four kilometers from Hemau in the Upper Palatinate, in Bavaria. It belongs to Landkreis Regensburg. The boys here are mostly barefoot. This is a little surprising as by 1950 the West German economy had begun to recover and most images we have found of German schools during the 1950s, even the early-50s, show the boys wearing shoes.

This is a school photo taken in Haag, near Windpassing, in Bavaria. This is a little confusing because there are several Windpassings located in neigboring regions of Bavaria and Upper Austria. The photo was taken in 1950. Haag is a village about four kilometers from Hemau in the Upper Palatinate, in Bavaria. It belongs to Landkreis Regensburg. The boys here wear various shirts and jackers. Almost all are barefoot. One boys wears knee socks and shoes. The rest of the boys here are barefoot, at least the youngr boys in the front row. We are not sure about the girls who are behind the boys. This is a little surprising as by 1950 the West German economy had begun to recover and most images we have found of German schools during the 1950s, even the early-50s, show the boys wearing shoes. We see Austrian school children commonly barefott in the 50s, but this was less common in Germany. Perhaps Bavaria was a little different. We are guessing that Haag was an agricultural area were children commonly went barefoot as was the case in rural Austria.
