The Zabergäu-Gymnasium Brackenheim (abbreviation: ZGB) is a general-education grammar school in Brackenheim. It is attended by over 1000 students from all over Zabergäu and its tradition goes back to the 15. century.

History

The first reference of a school for town chroniclers in Brackenheim is dated in the year 1460. In 1503 the Town Clerk’s office was separated from the grammar school and a certain Wendel Bender was named as the first schoolmaster in Brackenheim. Beside Latin classes with particular clerical commitments there were German classes, too. In this sort of classes you were only taught in German. Since the Church Order by duke Christoph of Württemberg in the year 1559 the territorial lord supervised the school, but the town held the authorisation to name the schoolmaster. This person had to be countersigned by the territorial lord. After 1560 an assistant teacher was mentioned beside the schoolmaster for the first time. About 1600 the construction of a new school building was started, which had been finnished nine years later after a delay of building because of pest.

Under Magister (Latin: teacher) Johann Jakob Rappolt, who administered this office from 1747 to 1791, the Latin school was separated from the German classes prospectively called elementary school. Later these classes obtained their own rooms.
