WW2 Nazi German Third Reich School Students Jugend Youth Boy Zeugnis Report Card Book 1931-35

Original German Volksschule school report / Zeugnis book belonging to Hans Grohs, documenting his elementary-school education in Groß Liedern, Kreis Uelzen, from 1931 through 1935.

This is an especially attractive example because the original blue school-book cover has been protected by an additional period paper book cover, leaving the underlying booklet in exceptional condition for its age. The protective outer cover is handwritten “Hans Grohs.”

The opening identification page records:

Name: Hans Grohs
Born: 8 February 1925
Birthplace: Groß Liedern
Father: Heinrich Grohs
Residence: Klein Liedern
School: Volksschule Groß Liedern, Kreis Uelzen
Admitted: 14 April 1931

The booklet contains his handwritten school reports covering multiple consecutive years:

1st School Year: Easter 1931 – Easter 1932
2nd School Year: Easter 1932 – Easter 1933
3rd School Year: Easter 1933 – Easter 1934
4th School Year: Easter 1934 – Easter 1935

Subjects include Religion, German, Arithmetic, Geometry, History, Geography/Local Studies, Natural History, Music, Physical Education, Drawing and Writing, together with assessments for behavior, diligence, attention and order.

The entries include handwritten teacher comments, attendance records and original signatures. Interestingly, the book spans the important historical transition from the Weimar Republic into the early Third Reich period, with Hans beginning school in 1931 and continuing through 1935.

The location is well documented: historical accounts confirm that Groß Liedern had its own small Volksschule, later described as a one-room school in which all eight grades were taught together. Groß Liedern remains part of the Uelzen area today, with the locality now falling within the Oldenstadt school district.

A particularly nice piece of German educational and social history, providing a continuous record of one child’s schooling during a major transitional period in German history.

Condition: Exceptional for a school document approaching 100 years old. The booklet has benefited greatly from the protective outer book cover placed over the original blue cover. Interior pages remain clean and well preserved with clearly legible handwriting and entries. The protective outer covering itself shows expected age and edge wear. Please see all photographs for exact condition.
