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.
