Franken-Landschulheim Schloss GaibachAbout the
A school in Gaibach Castle has its origins in the school shortage after the Second World War. Many school buildings were destroyed and the many refugee children had to be taught. Under the leadership of the Munich City School Councilor Anton Fingerle, the Bavarian Country School Homes Association was founded, which was dedicated to the grievances and from then on made so-called country school homes available to the students as places of instruction, far away from the cities. The grounds of the count's castle in Gaibach were suitable for this idea because it had been empty for decades. The owners, the Counts of Schönborn, had already moved their residence to Wiesentheid in the 18th century and the castle was used as emergency accommodation for refugees in 1945. The special purpose association set up a “upper secondary school for boys and girls” in the buildings. A boarding school was also founded. School operations began on September 14, 1949 with 120 internal and 70 external students in five classes. In 1956, the first class was able to graduate with their Abitur. At the beginning, the rooms in the Schönbornschloss were sufficient, and in 1956 another school building was built in the extensive park. A short time later the first sports field was opened. The natural sciences section followed in 1957. With the decision of December 5, 1959, the school changed its profile and was henceforth run as a humanistic high school with a secondary school. The reorganization was followed by further renovations, and the commercial wing was inaugurated in 1963. A complete school building expansion followed from 1964 to 1967, and in 1969 a gymnasium was opened on the park grounds. In 1974, the so-called college building was added to provide more classrooms for the growing number of students. Previously, in the 1972/73 school year, a branch of the high school was set up in the buildings of the former vocational school in Gerolzhofen with fifth to tenth grades. In 1969, the offering in Gaibach was expanded with the opening of a four-level secondary school. It initially had four levels and was only open to boys. Over time it was expanded to a six-grade school for both genders. In 1977, the Franken-Landschulheim had more than 1,000 students for the first time. This made further additions necessary in the 1980s. The economics branch was introduced for the first time in 1984/85. In 1992, the completely rebuilt school buildings in the south of the castle were inaugurated. The former aristocratic residence now houses the boarding school rooms.
Focus of Study : Everyone who wants to find each other comes together in the schoolyard. Because we combine secondary school and high school in one place. The friendships developed in elementary school do not have to end here and the secondary school diploma can even prove to be a stepping stone to the Abitur. In addition to starting training or moving to FOS, good secondary school graduates have another option with us: Thanks to our “profile class”, nothing stands in the way of the transition to high school if the grades are appropriate.
Benefit, Goal of this course : As an independent type of school from the 5th to the 10th grade, the secondary school provides contemporary career and study-related education.

Surrounding Area
The Count Schönborn'sche Schloss Gaibach was once an aristocratic residence for changing rulers. It was first mentioned in sources as early as 1299. Initially built as a castle in the Middle Ages, the building was finally transformed into a baroque castle by the Counts of Schönborn, who used it as a summer residence since 1590. Of particular note are the classically designed interiors and the baroque garden, which has been converted into a landscape park. “Our” castle received special attention in 1828 with the inauguration of the Constitutional Column in the park to honor the constitution of Bavaria. The associated Constitution Hall in the castle now serves as a meeting place, be it for events, teacher conferences or oral examinations. In addition to the historic walls that surround our boarding school and where students enjoy working just as much as teachers, we particularly enjoy our inner courtyard, the so-called Platanenhof, where the Christmas market and our summer festival also take place. We are proud and happy to have found a home in this centuries-old building and want to continue writing history and stories here in order to be a worthy part of a special history.
