Apartment Das Fräulein - Appartement in Bitburg-Mötsch, Rhineland-Palatinate

In "The Miss" -Apartment we remind of teacher Ms. Margarethe Hermesdorf, who lived in this flat during her 40 years of service in our school from 1911-1951. First employed in times of the Kaiser she taught here until the current Federal Rebublic. She was a modern woman for her time: With the decision to become a teacher she gave up having a family: Due to a Ministerial decree of 1875 that was in power until the 1950ies female teachers were autmoatically removed from office with the loss of all rights to a pension if they married. She remained unwed and eventually turned into the "mother of the village" by the time she retired.
