He received from the owners of the estate 42 thalers, five korzec of rye, barley, peas, free flats and fuel. Teacher Kempowski was paid a penny each week for each child at school. Such earnings were granted to him on June 4, 1800. by Scholten, manager of the Cadinen estate. The school in Rehberg was closed in 1823, and the children were assigned to the school in Cadinen, but they almost did not show up because of the large distance and often impassable roads.
