The Brühl School, formerly the denominational school of the Catholic Church, once stood here. From February to September 1896, Matthias Erzberger (1875–1921), a Swabian Catholic who later became a Centre Party politician and Reich minister, taught here as an acting school administrator. He was murdered in 1921 because of his political beliefs. He advocated Christian solidarity and defended the poor. He was a member of the Reichstag, initiated the Peace Resolution of 1917, signed the 1918 Armistice and helped prepare the way for German democracy.
