German Family Photograph Album: Secondary School Photographs


Figure 1.-- Here we see a scene from the school playground. I'm not sure what was written on the wall. As there are heads in front I can't read all, but it says something like that this is only a place for running (races or whatever) and in the second line something must not be walked over.

Many of the photogrphs in the album were shot at the secondary school. We do not know the bame of the school, but the initials may have been AG. Secondary schools in Germany like in Britain, began with boys about 11 yeas old, earlier than schools in America. As a result there are some quite young boys in the secondary school photographs. There is no photograph od the building. Most of the school photographs show athletic events or scenes on the school playground. A high brick wall seems to have surrounded the school. The background shows that the school was in the middle of an urban area with factories or wherehouses nearby. We see a NAZI ceremony at the front of the school and what looks to be a factory at the back of the school. There are no class scenes, but numerous athletic events, including a heated tug-of-war competition. We also see a ceremony with drummers.
