German School

Built 1871

Incorporated in 1849 by the state legislature, the German School had classes conducted in both the German and English languages.

This structure was the only privately owned public school building in the state when it was deeded to Historic Hermann, Inc. in 1955, to be preserved and used for cultural and civic purposes.

Marker is on Schiller Street near 4th Street, on the right when traveling south.
