Open school system
The Oeffingen school system has been documented since the end of the 17th century in the enclave of Oeffingen, which belongs to the monastery and cathedral chapter of Augsburg .
Open school system
In 1696 it is first mentioned in a document that the sacristan also holds the office of schoolmaster. Classes take place in the sacristan's apartment. School subjects are reading, writing and catechism . School lessons are held from November 11th to April 24th, summer was available for work in agriculture. In 1750 there were 60 students, 30 years later there were already 80.
At the beginning of the 19th century, when the landlord was still the Kingdom of Bavaria , the community bought the farm building, called "Schlössle" , from the Augsburg Cathedral Chapter and set up the first classroom there, and the second 15 years later. At the same time, a school provisional was hired. The number of pupils grew rapidly to a total of 170 children. The community reacted and added a third classroom to the Schlössle.
In 1830 the number of pupils fell to 156, divided into three classes and a second school provisional was hired. Up to 1832 compulsory schooling lasts from 7 to 12 years of age, from 1833 it is extended from 6 to 14 years of age. In addition to the normal compulsory schooling, there was compulsory Sunday school until the age of 20 . From 1836, compulsory Sunday schooling was reduced to the age of 18.
In 1912 the school finally moved into the newly built school and town hall at Hauptstrasse 1 and the Schlössle became teaching staff apartments. In the middle of the 20th century, 300 students were taught there. The Schiller School was built in 1956 and expanded six years later.
