Former Steinm\u00fchle teachers often return to their old workplace: to have coffee, chat, and see what\u2019s changed. It\u2019s rather rare for them to invite the forum to a reading as an author. Wilhelm Stehling, who has been retired since February 2014, did just that. He presented his book, *Die Marburger Nachtw\u00e4chter* (The Marburg Night Watchmen), at the Steinm\u00fchle. The audience was thrilled. <\/p>\n

“The hall was full\u2014or what you\u2019d call ‘full’ under the current restrictions,” reports Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer. The audience had a good time as “Willi” Stehling provided entertaining insights into the rough-and-tumble world of night watchmen. It\u2019s a profession that\u2019s often ridiculed, but in reality, the hardships involved are underestimated, and the job is associated with numerous anecdotes. <\/p>\n

So anyone who wants to know more about the Marburg night watchmen\u2014when they were active and what happened to them\u2014will find the answers in Willi Stehling\u2019s book, available from B\u00fcchner-Verlag. Perhaps while reading, some of you will recall not only Wilhelm Stehling\u2019s classes in geography, physical education, and music, but also his Grade 5 choir, the brass band, swimming lessons, and much more. <\/p>\n
