- After the unexpected loss of their free tables at the Lyceum in Ohrdruf , 14-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach and his classmate Erdmann decide to continue their schooling in the particular school of the Michaeliskloster in Lüneburg . For the first time, Bach and Erdmann are listed on April 3 when the Mettengeld payments are booked . Both do not have to pay school fees, but are obliged to do their job as Mettenchor singers. In contrast to all of his siblings and his ancestors, who gave up higher education in favor of an apprenticeship as a musician, Bach opted for a higher education that qualifies for university studies.
