Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann was given the job of drawing teacher at the slowly emerging school in Isny ​​after the end of World War II in 1945. For several years she then awakened the joy of drawing and painting for the children - and also for Ursula. First, the school hours took place in the old kindergarten. After the French army returned the Dethleffs house, which had previously been confiscated as a command post, to the Dethleffs family, the teacher moved with her students to the Dethleffs family's studio in the Wolfsbühl house. For Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann, this had the advantage that she no longer had to get up early. For the school children, the house with the large garden was always a new experience.

Ursula Dethleffs made several woodcuts from this time under the title In der Schule der Kunst

The 3rd woodcut was made in 1950 - it was entitled: Kindermalschule 3: WVZ 286017, 1950
