For many years this school provided the only education for the children of the Hadeln farmers and Otterndorf citizens who could not afford to send their children to schools that charged tuition.
Paljude aastate jooksul pakkus see kool ainsat haridust Hadelni talunike ja Otterndorfi linnakodanike lastele, kes ei saanud endale lubada saata oma lapsi õppemaksuga koolidesse.
