And here's the response from the headmaster when I asked him about the job:

I don�t know Mr. A. Coleman, he does not work for us and we are very surprised, that there exists a job offer in the Internet. We are an official German School in the foreign system of the Federal Republic of Germany in Spain and we are recruiting our staff by the official institutions (foreign office) of Germany and the spanish teachers by the official employment office.
