Notes

Bielefeld school is first mentioned in the "Coronation List".

This is a list of schools that existed in 1952 (but not necessarily in the described location).

Use the zoom tool and satellite overlay on the map to view the exact location.

Bielefeld Primary School occupied a site west of Catterick Barracks' main entrance and adjoined Bielefeld's Detmolder Strasse. This was one of the first schools to be established in post-war Germany (log books go back to 1947) and it remained open until 2019.
