After the fire of Weiden

Old Schoolhouse - today

In 1536, the fire of Weiden burned the building down to the ground. After it was rebuilt in 1565, the Latin school and German school were housed here, hence the traditional name Old Schoolhouse. The building was completely restored between 1975 and 1979.
