history

At least since 1740 the children in Garbeck had been taught in a shepherd's house until the citizens built their own school building at Karrenstrasse 3 in 1746 with a class for all pupils. The first schoolmaster known in Garbeck was Caspar Theodor Springob, who achieved some fame as an orchestra conductor in the region and died in 1794.

In 1864 a new school building was built on the church square. It now had separate girls 'and boys' classes and a teacher's apartment under the roof. In 1889, this building was again increased with a second teacher's apartment. Between 1929 and 1930, a larger school building was built at the current location in Schulstrasse. The new school now had four classrooms on two floors and three teachers and caretaker apartments in an extension. From 1964 to 1965 an extension was made to expand to a two-class school with four more classrooms, a multi-purpose room, various administrative rooms and a roof top.

Due to the decline in school enrollments, the school was only open once again after the turn of the millennium. In 2015, the Garbeck primary school became a focus school for hearing-impaired children. For this purpose, special acoustic ceilings were built into the classrooms. After the number of first graders at 16 was only slightly above the minimum size of 15 students stipulated by the state, the class sizes rose again to 26 for the 2019/2020 school year.
