Figure 1.--The Gymnasium Rahlstedt was located in Hamburg. We so not yet know much about the school. We have a class portrait from 1931. It looks like the new first year boys at the school. They look 10-11 years old. They are informally dressed, but wearing their school caps. While German secondary schools did not have uniforms, they did have destinctive school caps. Only two boys did not have the caps. Boys at many gymnasium in Germany wore suits and ties. These boys mostly wear shirt-like sweaters. Three boys wear sailor suit. Teo boys wear wide white collars. All wear short pants, most with knee socks. Sone boys wear long stockings, some of which look home knitted. We believe this was seasonal. In colder weather probably more boys switched to long stockings. Put your cursor on the image to see the rest of the class.
