[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Word Definition - Kantorsschulen

[Edelgard Strobel]

Hello John,

in addition to his duties as organist and choir leader the cantor was also 
active as the local teacher, not only for music. He was the first teacher of 
a community. The Kantorsschule was thus led by a cantor. Sometimes you also 
can read "Lehrer  (teacher) und Kantor". In this case Kantor refers on his 
musical duties.

Regards from Germany,

Edelgard

    Can someone please explain what the role of a Kantorsschulen was in 
Volhynia during the late 1800s?

    It is used as follows;
In der Zeit seiner (Pastor Kerm) Wirksamkeit wurden Hunderte von Bethäusern
und Schulhäusern erbaut und ebensoviele Kantorsschulen gegründet und noch
mehr Friedhöfe abgelegt.

With thanks,
John Marsch
