The primary school at Oberteich in the north-west Mecklenburg town of Schönberg is located in a traditional, classical school building and takes its name from the nearby eleven-hectare Oberteich .

The school building was built in the period from 1823 to 1826 according to a design by the state master builder Lohmeyer of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz as a classical plastered building with nine axes under a hipped brick roof and was initially used as a community school from 1826 to 1846. The first rector of the school was the archivist Gottlieb Matthias Carl Masch . The citizen school saw itself in the tradition of the old cathedral school belonging to the duchy of the Ratzeburg cathedral . The best-known students of this first phase as a community school were the later inventor and industrialist Werner von Siemens and his brother Carl von Siemens , whose father had taken over the management of the Menzendorf domain .

In the period from 1846 to 1891, the school building on Oberteich housed the Schönberger Realschule, which was upgraded to Realprogymnasium in 1891 (Realgymnasien without Prima, the former higher middle schools ). The sculptor Ernst Barlach is the most famous student of this period. After the Second World War, the school was used by the Red Army garrison from 1945 to 1955 .

After that, it housed the lower level of the Rudolf Hartmann School until 1990. Since the renovation in 1991, the primary school at Oberteich has been the local primary school sponsored by the city of Schönberg. Due to the falling number of pupils, the primary school at Oberteich lost its independence in 2011 and was connected to the regional school with the Schönberg primary school.
