weekly hour
A unit of measurement for workload or teaching load that corresponds to one hour per week. It is often used to indicate the scope of school subjects or part-time work.
Im neuen Schuljahr wird das Fach Physik mit drei Wochenstunden unterrichtet.
In the new school year, physics will be taught with three weekly hours.
The word is made up of 'Woche' (week), the linking '-n-', and 'Stunde' (hour). So it literally means 'one hour per week' and is a unit of measurement.
Der Sprachkurs findet einmal pro Woche statt und hat zwei Wochenstunden.

'Wochenstunde' (weekly hour) is used like a unit, usually with a number before it. For example, you say 'ein Fach mit drei Wochenstunden' (a subject with three weekly hours) or 'eine Stelle mit 20 Wochenstunden' (a position with 20 weekly hours).
Meine neue Stelle hat einen Umfang von 25 Wochenstunden.
