750 years oflerg: teacher tells of old times and anecdotes!

At the 750th anniversary of the small village of Drieberg, not only the history of the place was celebrated, but also many memories were kept alive. Wieland Wohlfeil, who worked as a teacher in the Drieberger School 65 years ago, had those present participated in amusing anecdotes from his school days. At that time he taught about 20 children from the first to fourth grade in a room, which was certainly a special challenge. A remarkable moment was the repetition of the first class by one of the members of a twin couple, introduced by Wohlfeil, who looked back at his time in the educational institution and mentioned some of the students at the time, even from the ninth grade. The teacher came to Vietlübbe in 1954 and was transferred a year later to Belterg, where he found the unforgettable memories as the youngest teacher in the Gadebusch district.

A highlight of Wohlfeil's stories was an incident in which he gave a cheeky student a slap in the face - an event that even supported the student's mother. Such stories testify to the discipline at the time that prevailed in schools and ensured some laugh at the celebrations. The celebration itself was the result of great efforts and the cohesion of the villagers who helped a lot in the organization. Kerstin Busack, which was born in the village, took over the planning of the anniversary, which was the school building, which has been used as a place of learning since 1970, not only as a place of memories, but also part of a higher social cohesion.

an overview of the village community

Kerstin Busack reminded the former infrastructure of the village, which once comprised consumption, school, a kindergarten, a restaurant and a theater group. These facilities were not only contact points for the villagers, but also places that contributed to strengthening the community spirit. Another highlight of the celebration was the history exhibition, which was compiled by Martina Tegtmeier. Numerous events and stories of the village community were made visible here.

The organization of the festival was a community performance by many committed villagers, including seniors who provided a lavish cake buffet. The festival was characterized by a strong feeling of belonging together, which was noticeable in every corner of the village and looked back at the present.
