The former school building also survived the use as a military training area and the associated, almost complete destruction of wool soaps.

Interesting old school building by presenting the history of the village.

The ruin of the school (ground floor) was secured. Since March 2011, new street signs in the Eifel dialect have been naming the former village streets. Historical photographs that were posted in the church, at the school and on the information board in the center of the village document village life in the pre-war period.
In November 2014, the restoration of the wool soaps primary school started, which currently houses a small exhibition on wool soaps.
