1968
from duke ludwig ii’s time as ruler (1522-1532), which was marked by ecclesiastical upheaval and constant innovations, all counts palatine (dukes) of zweibrücken set themselves the task of developing schooling in the duchy. ludwig ii was said to be the first elector in the holy roman empire who openly avowed the basic teachings of the reformation. not only did he promote every theologian who was prepared to reform the church, but he also saw the promotion of schooling as being an integral part of the reformation, for martin luther himself had demanded of mayors and aldermen as early as 1524 the establishment and maintenance of christian schools, a task that would fall to clergymen. “only he who truly knew christian teaching could in luther’s perception be a good christian.” bearing this in mind, it seemed obvious that the task of raising these good christians would be easier if children learnt to read, write, sing and pray. thus, even in the reformation’s earliest days, schools were opened in the duchy’s towns and all children had to attend. successes were, however, moderate, for the need for reading and writing was not readily understood by many subjects, for the children’s fathers, grandfathers and forebears had got along without them quite well in pre-reformation times, never having undergone the burdensome training now being demanded of the children. for the actual purpose of establishing these schools, much can be read into how the teachers were, as a rule, also candidates for clerical posts, and were sent to teach children outside their own towns. the expansion of the school system was carried out only slowly. to duke johannes i’s (ruled 1569-1604) way of thinking, children should be taught not only the beliefs of their faith (catechism), but also reading, writing and “other good arts”. in a circular, therefore, he ordered that a school be set up in every parish seat where there was yet to be any schoolmaster or schoolroom, with the local pastor, failing either of those things, teaching the local children if need be. since konken was the local parish seat for herschweiler-pettersheim – that is to say, that was where everyone went to church – all the parish’s children, and hence also the ones from herschweiler and pettersheim, had to attend school in konken. for the winter of 1575-1576, benedikt reichhold from waidenburg (meißen) is named as the pastor and the schoolmaster, while from 1579 to 1589, nikolaus schlemmer from landstuhl is named as the holder of that post; he was then released from it at his own request. johann sebastian armbruster was likewise both the pastor and the schoolmaster in konken (with pfeffelbach and niederkirchen) from 1592 to 1597. these clergymen, who had to pray not only on sunday but also throughout the week and also work the parish land, put up a fight against all this extra work with all kinds of excuses. in 1596, the duke instructed his officials to force the clergy to hold school, and to introduce new schools into 46 further villages. by the time duke johannes i died on 12 august 1604, though, thirty places in his realm had schools taught by secular schoolteachers, while in eight further places, schools temporarily had ecclesiastical schoolteachers. this school policy was also maintained by johannes i’s successor, duke johannes ii, who ruled from 1604 to 1635. the pastors, who had to see to the schoolmasters’ maintenance, felt that this extra work was unreasonable, especially as they thereby also had to put up with a reduction of earnings. it could be that this measure was undertaken to offset the reduction in the amount of work that the schoolmasters represented. meanwhile, certain sectors of the population had come to believe that a school was not an utter disadvantage for the village. the cost of building a schoolroom and the people’s poverty, though, further dampened interest in establishing a school. besides, the villagers would soon have something else to worry about, for the thirty years' war was about to break out. this war saw to it that many villages almost died right out, and therefore had no further need for a school. during reconstruction from 1661 to 1681, only five of herschweiler-pettersheim’s pre-war families actually came back to the village, in 1670. it is clear that school began again in this time, for a schoolmaster for konken is named for 1671, kaspar metzger. schoolmasters changed often from year to year, with the pastor sometimes taking on the duty between teachers. daniel fischer, who had been teaching in konken since 1692, left the village schoolhouse in 1694, went to altenglan and stayed there until 1699, when he came back to konken, only to leave for altenglan again in 1702. besides his meagre wages, the schoolmaster received an agreed amount of produce, grain, oats and wine. most of the produce, though, was not delivered, and the money was also not paid, which was of course the cause of frequent complaints. the subjects, too, often complained, mainly about how they were too poor to pay a schoolmaster. the reformed school assistant valentin meßing, who taught from 1720 to 1729 in "conken" (as it was spelt in those days) complained in 1731 that he had not been paid since saint martin’s day (11 november) 1730. he was owed half a barrel of grain by each "gemeindsmann" (male citizen). from the same year came news that “the villages of langenbach and herschweiler together with pfettersheim” were building schoolhouses and wanted to hire their own schoolteacher. they eventually hired a school assistant later in the year, who nevertheless had to “feed” himself. this was the beginning of the split from the konken school. the official severing of the link came in 1733. at the time, herschweiler-pettersheim counted 14 “reformed citizens”. named as teacher at the local winter school (a school geared towards an agricultural community’s practical needs, held in the winter, when farm families had a bit more time to spare) for 1737-1738 was johann georg dentzer, who was born in annweiler am trifels. church steward koch had to break it to the municipality that “if they want to keep their own school assistant, they should maintain him without burdening the administration”. thus, each "gemeindsmann" was to yield up half a barrel of grain and one "simmer" (roughly 22 l) of oats, and further, each one was to pay 8 to 15 rhenish guilders. teaching here in 1743 was the old schoolmaster conrad fuhr, and from 1744 to 1745 it was johann georg ott. thereafter, gottfried holl from zweibrücken was named as the poor, abandoned school assistant at herschweiler-petersheim. although the municipality had already gathered up 10 barrels of corn by the time holl took the job, he only got 6½. following in 1752 was mateus lozenius, and about 1771 came philipp heinrich collini, who in 1778 received a sharp rebuke for his behaviour, and in 1783 he had to switch posts with the adenbach teacher praß, because the reverend heintz from konken had reported praß for apparently visiting an inn, getting drunk and then proceeding to the dance floor. teaching candidate philipp venter followed in 1795, and then sometime between 1796 and 1800 came christian praß. in 1825, schoolteacher kaiser, who complained about how small his lodgings were, was transferred. he was followed by schoolteacher glöckner, school administrator fauß (1836-1837) and a schoolteacher named klensch. in 1822, the municipality’s very first schoolhouse – formerly a. clemens’s property – had to be expanded by having a parlour added. in the winter half-year of 1826/1827, 95 children attended the school, while in the summer half-year it was 90. since the school had become too small by 1829, it was auctioned. for the time being, a new schoolhouse could not be afforded, even though in 1828 a place had been measured out for it. the temporary solution was to move school in 1829 to langenbach, where it was held in farmer adam feick’s rented, two-floor farmhouse. two years later, it was moved again, this time to jakob trapp’s property. eventually, in 1833, a new schoolhouse could be afforded. it was later to be used as a mayoral office and the municipal centre. in the winter half-year of 1841, 109 children attended the school, while in the summer half-year it was 114. the number of schoolchildren had risen by 1848 to 127, who were all taught by schoolteacher klensch and his son as assistant. obviously the municipality wanted to know nothing about this assistant’s additional salary. even the royal bavarian government did not approve the second teaching post upon which the school commission had decided, leaving everyone to make the best of a questionable situation. as a result of rising pupil numbers, the municipality bought forester’s assistant kirsch’s house in 1856, which later also served as the municipal centre, and used it after the conversion, beginning in 1860, as a second schoolhouse. in 1874, karl dörr came to herschweiler. he complained about the school conditions and requested a new building, which at first municipal council refused. knowing that the teacher’s post in kusel was far better (and therefore made the municipality look bad), a new schoolhouse was built in 1879 on the former stegner property. the two schoolhouses standing next to each other, with a teacher’s dwelling, allowed orderly schooling. in 1905, at the business association’s request, a "zeichenschule" (a kind of early vocational school for training craftsmen) was established for apprentices and local business owners’ sons, although this only lasted until 21 october 1914, when it was closed for want of students and because times were bad for craft industries (this was likely due to the outbreak of the first world war a few months earlier). it was headed by the bavarian schoolteacher karl baumbach, who had been teaching since 1882. he had also pressed the municipality for a new building, but municipal council had refused, even in the face of a majority being in favour of it at a citizens’ meeting. in 1909, the building now known as “the old schoolhouse” – since 2004, in renovated form, the municipal centre – was built with four classrooms. uninterrupted teaching continued there for only five years before the first world war broke out, and the teachers were called into the kaiser’s forces. at first, the school simply had to be closed, but later it was run by assistant teachers taking turns with the school in langenbach, and also with mixed-grade classes. henceforth, schoolwork was characterized by the course of the war. owing to petroleum shortages, classes had to begin later, or they were cancelled for lack of heating fuel or because there were public works that the teachers had to perform outside school. school was also cancelled owing to military demands: french prisoners of war were sometimes billeted there; the schoolhouse was used as an army mess when the war ended, for soldiers on the way home; french occupiers quartered themselves there. in the autumn of 1922, the downstairs classrooms received “for the enlightenment of civic gatherings” electric lighting, while the upstairs classrooms were left out owing to cost, leaving wintertime classes to be held with the old-fashioned petroleum lighting. on 2 november 1931, the school head applied to the regional school authority, asking for a stop to be put to the annoyances and obstacles due to the many jobless men who had to pick up their unemployment money here. after 1933, when adolf hitler and the nazis seized power, the school joined in celebrations, torchlight parades and party events. the lads from 4th to 7th grade from herschweiler-pettersheim and neighbouring villages met on the sporting ground in the wallheck for sport competitions, while the girls held gymnastic demonstrations under the music club’s leadership. on 22 march 1937, those entitled to education voted for the introduction of the german christian community school. what had hitherto been the "protestantische volksschule herschweiler-pettersheim" became the "deutsche volksschule herschweiler-pettersheim". that same year, the 8th grade and a fourth teaching post were introduced. as in the first world war, the end of the second world war brought school cancellations owing to a lack of teachers, the conversion of the building into a wehrmacht field hospital and, once again, french occupiers quartered themselves there, claiming three of the rooms in november 1945. under the most difficult of circumstances, classes were begun again, provisorily, in september, and over the winter sometimes had to be held in unheated rooms. until the spring of 1946, schoolteacher klinck taught all classes, with grade levels combined. only in 1950 was some normalcy restored, once there was a staff of four teachers again. on 29 september 1963, the foundation stone was laid for the sixth schoolhouse in the village’s history, on the former sporting ground in the wallheck. the dedication came on 20 november 1965. on 19 april 1966, "protestantische volksschule herschweiler-pettersheim" was declared a "mittelpunktschule" (“midpoint school”, a central school, designed to eliminate smaller outlying schools). in 1968, the municipalities of albessen, frohnhofen, herchweiler, herschweiler-pettersheim, konken, krottelbach, langenbach, liebsthal, ohmbach, selchenbach and wahnwegen were all grouped into the herschweiler-pettersheim school association ("schulverband herschweiler-pettersheim"). grades were organized and some grades were “farmed out” to school buildings elsewhere. this fragmentary arrangement got officials thinking about building a new school for the school association. with the formation of "verbandsgemeinden" in 1972, these same bodies also became school zones, leading to a reorganization with regard to neighbouring villages. glan-münchweiler as the "verbandsgemeinde" seat and herschweiler-pettersheim as the biggest municipality by population were each given a hauptschule department with a primary school organizationally bound thereto. besides that, the village was equipped with a common, four-group kindergarten for herschweiler-pettersheim, krottelbach and langenbach and an evangelical youth home. today, herschweiler-pettersheim has one kindergarten, one primary school and one regionalschule.

the major efforts to alleviate diaper need come through the work of diaper banks and a growing diaper bank movement consisting of individuals and organizations that mobilize a network of community, state, and national level agencies and institutions to address the issue. according to the national diaper bank network, a nonprofit organization that helps other nonprofit organizations start diaper banks in their communities and has tracked the organized response to diaper need since 2012, the number of diaper banks in the u.s. has increased five-fold in three years.
