School portraits of Helmut Hirsch, 1926-1927; 1935
Description:
Here we have a class photograph from Dillmann Realgymnasium in Stuttgart for the 1926/27 school year. Helmut Hirsch would have been around 10-11 years of age. A list of names has been provided with the photographer. It is indicated that Praezeptor Schimmel was the teacher that year. Helmut Hirsch can be seen kneeling on the right hand side between the first and second rows. This photography offers a brief glimpse into the German public school system during the Weimar Republic. We can see students wearing traditional German lederhosen and others wearing sailor shirts. We can also see what the Dillmann Realgymnasium looked like before it was destroyed during WW2. The photograph is matted. We have Hirsch's graduation photo from 1935. This photo is also matted.
