After Ahrbeck had been asked from various quarters to teach calligraphy, he acquired various handwriting, initially for private lessons , not least in accordance with the wishes of his students .

In 1835, Ahrbeck received the - long-awaited - offer of a job as a teacher of calligraphy at the public institution for the then newly founded high school . He could tasks as well with his official activities as - this - additional officials agree that it further at the 1837 founded and Adolf Tellkampf led urban business school in the rooms of urban Lyceum on Friederikenplatz could take a few hours for calligraphy lessons.
