Die Schulchronik widmet sich ausführlicher nicht nur der eigentlichen Schule des Ortes Lüderitz, sondern auch der Orts- und Personengeschichte. So findet sich in der Chronik die übliche Melange von Aufzählungen der einzelnen Lehrer, Pastoren und Schulinspektoren mit ihren genealogischen Grunddaten, die Schilderung einzelner Feierlichkeiten der Schule (insbesondere das Sedanfest), von Ausflügen, Konfirmationen, Schulinspektionen und besonderen schulnaher Ereignisse, sondern auch der Ausgestaltung des Sportunterrichtes und von Schulprüfungen oder der Vorstellung von Naturalien durch eine „Wanderausstellung“. Daneben wird aber auch der Toten aus verschiedenen kriegerischen Ereignissen oder besonderer Personen gedacht, wie des Adligen Ludolf von Lüderitz, dessen Familie zum Teil die Schule finanzierte. Die Schilderungen reichen bis hin zu besonderen Witterungsereignissen, zur Wiedererrichtung der Kirchturmspitze, Brandkatastrophen oder Auftritten des Gesangsvereins. Insgesamt wird die Schule zwischen 1875 und 1938 intensiver beschrieben. Nach 1938 gibt es noch einige kurz gefasste Notizen, etwa zur Sowjetischen Militäradministration und endet mit dem Jahr 1949. Die Schulchronik wurde von Friedrich Wilhlem Bittersohl (geb. 3.2.1836) begonnen und dann zwischen 1901 bis 1924 von Lehrer Rieseberg, in den 1930er Jahren von Lehrer Reinstein und schließlich von August Hensche geführt. The school chronicle is dedicated in more detail not only to the actual school of Lüderitz, but also to the history of the town and its people. Thus, the chronicle contains the usual melange of lists of individual teachers, pastors and school inspectors with their basic genealogical data, the description of individual school festivities (especially the Sedan Festival), of excursions, confirmations, school inspections and special school-related events, but also the organisation of sports lessons and school examinations or the presentation of natural produce through a "travelling exhibition". In addition, the dead from various warlike events or special persons are commemorated, such as the nobleman Ludolf von Lüderitz, whose family partly financed the school. The descriptions extend to special weather events, the rebuilding of the church spire, fire disasters or performances by the singing society. Overall, the school is described more intensively between 1875 and 1938. After 1938 there are a few more brief notes, for example on the Soviet military administration, and ends with the year 1949. The school chronicle was begun by Friedrich Wilhlem Bittersohl (born 3.2.1836) and then kept between 1901 and 1924 by teacher Rieseberg, in the 1930s by teacher Reinstein and finally by August Hensche.
