11-4a Twice the management business was in the hands of provisional directors; these were: Dberstudienrat Josef Becker, 1924 to 1926, and Studienrat Walter Korb, 2nd half of 1938 and from May to September 1939. Two university professors emerged from the faculty: Dr. Rudolf Lochner (Hochscule für Lehrerbildung in Hirschberg) and Dr. Eduard Schneeweiß, Ordinarius für slavischen Volks- und Altertumskunde in Prag; furthermore seven directors of higher schools: August Fieger (Eger 1900), Dr. Johann Endt (Budweis 1909), Ferdinand Stolle (Arnau 1917), Dr Augustin Franz (Reichenberg 1928), Franz Friedl (Karlsbad 1938), Franz Schübel (Aussig 1939), Dr Ernst Steini2z (Tepliz). Dr. Theodor Reitterer became a state school inspector and court councillor in Vienna, where he, highly aged, was once again in the service of the school administration. Franz Seiß was a district school inspector in Karlovy Vary until 1919. Josef Becker worked from 1928 to 1934 as vice mayor of the city of Karlovie Vary. Rudolf Lößl, after whom a street in Karlovy Vary is still named today, belonged to the Austrian Reichsrat and Landtag as a deputy. During the war, most of the comrades were active in the popular associations. Dr. Hubert Hassmann joined the DNGAP in 1919 and in the following years was a leader in Grasliz, Eger and Elbogen. In 1933 he was attacked by the Chodauer Rote Wehr and severely injured. The Czech school authority in Prague scourged him for Nazi agitation from Eger to Landskron in 1923 and from Elbogen to Trautenau in 1933, drew him into disciplinary examination and blocked him from advancing his salary in 1933. Josef Hauschild was the club secretary of the Parliamentary Association of the German National Party in Prague. Senior study director Dr. Karl Jäger was the district training manager of the volunteer shooting service of the SdP and deputy district training director of the sdP. in the constituency Vil (Egerland). M. During the 15 years through which the Saar region was separated from the Reiche, Beck stood in the cultural council of the "Deutsche Fronk" (central management in Saarbrücken) for the defense of French cultural influences. The majority of the comrades, in addition to their professional responsibilities, are also active in the party, its divisions and affiliated associations, whether they belong to the bars of local groups of the NSDAP (2), in the district management as district speakers. (Previously 3), Head of Office (1), Officers or technical staff, or in the divisions and affiliated associations, perform as function carriers service. Cooperation with Hitler Youth experienced a special deepening by the fact that two of our comrades were successively entrusted with the leadership of the HJ.-Banne Karlsbad. It should also be pointed out that the teaching staff participates in the work of the NG.-Teachers' Association with a Gausach employee, several district administrators and heads of specialized working groups.The visit to the school shows that the establishment of our institution for Karlovy Vary was a necessity. Regardless of the type, the number of pupils grew as a result of the strong visit from the directly adjacent Drten, who was incorporated into Groß-Karlsbad and from the wider surroundings. With 108 pupils the first class was opened in 1892, in 1910 the number of 300 was exceeded, in 1919 the number 500; after a relatively small decline in the period from 1919 to 1932, but always reaching the upper limit of 400, the number rose to almost 700 in the school year 1935/36. The status of the last four years varied between 615 and 658. The decrease was explained by the establishment of new Dber schools since 1939 (Falkenau, Weipert, St. Joa-chimsthal), and by the transfer of all pupils to the Dberschule für Mädchen. 8
