Flat caps were a major style in America for three decades, but it as far as we can tell, not a major style in Germany for school boys. I think it was more a working man's cap. We see a few boys wearing them, but as far as we can tell, flat caps were not very common school headwear. The examples we have seen are from the 1920s. We notice a boy just starting school wearing one. We are ot sure about the age conventions. We tend to have more first year portraits because it was such a common convention to take a child's portrait wgen they first began school.
