The first school was built in 1750.

In 1894 after the dissolution of the school association with Oberlibbach and Hambach that had emerged from the parish , a new school was built. The listed building is an original, independent type of village school for the area. The two-storey half-timbered building with an L-shaped floor plan is completely slated. The slate ornamentally emphasizes the window axes. The facade is divided into four, three and two regular axes with narrow, vertical-format windows. The house was used as a school until 1969 and is now a residential building.
