Figure 1.--This is an all-boys' class and presumably school at Ruckerg Primary School in 1951. It is a 2nd year class. We are unsure just where Ruckerg is located. These single gender schools were common before the War. They were mostly integrated during the 1950s. Note the lady teacher. That was another major chabnge in German schools after the War. A certain variety in the boys' clothes is observable here. One boy in the back wears a Bavarian jacket (note the different colored lapels). Several boys wear similar Bavarian jackets, but without lapels. Over boys wear jackets or sweaters. We see several halters or H-bar shorts. Nearly all the boys wear short pants. We also see knickers. The boy in the back row with the Bavarian jscket wears long pants. Most of the boys wear knee socks, but in a few cases long stockings.

This is an all-boys' class and presumably school at Ruckerg Primary School in 1951. We assume it is a Volksschule, but as there were other terms used, we will just say it is a orimary school at this time. We do know that it is a 2nd year class in 1951-52. We are unsure just where Ruckerg is located. we can not find any information about a village or town named Ruckerg. The very substantial school building in the background wiould suggest a town of some size and not a village. The Bavarian jackets of course woud suggest Bavaria.
