Even a ten year old house has some history. I could have shown old castle ruins from our area, Roman artifacts of which there are a few around here, or … I decided to show my old school house. It was built from 1904-1905, named after the Swiss educational reformer of the 18th century, like many other schools in Germany (and I guess Switzerland, at least). My mother went to school here and my sisters did, too. My father went to the school next door because the school was for girls only (even when I went but it’s co-ed now). And then I started my elementary school years in 1966. The tower on the roof didn’t have a bell anymore, I guess it rang in the beginning to mark the beginning of the school day. The door I still remember, I went through. I also remembered the fence around the schoolyard (barren when I went, now a decent playground) and we used to climb along it like those boys are doing today.
I guess that’s enough history for a Sunday morning.

I’m sure this challenge got you thinking about your younger years and the history of the place you spent so many hours each day. Great response to the challenge!

Glad you like it, John. This challenge was hard for me because living in an old country one is spoilt for choice concerning history.

I know. (coming out was better than going in each day, though). I originally photographed only the door because of the door.

I’m not sure about beautiful (but my memories may cloud my appreciatiion). It is a very standard school building in Germany – so many were built around the same time.
