Karl Apfelbacher was a German mathematician who served as minister for higher public education in Upper Bavaria-East.[1] He was a student of Arnold Sommerfeld and Heinrich Tietze[2] at the University of Munich, where he received his doctorate in 1939.[3] He went into teaching mathematics and science, as well as administration, in secondary schools. In 1964, he was cited as being Oberstudiendirektor[4] at the Oberrealschule[5] in Burghausen, Altötting. On October 16, 1964, the school was taken over by the Bayerischen Staatsministeriums für Unterricht und Kultus.[6]

The sections in each German state have different names and functions apart from the administration of the school sphere. The term "Kultus" stands for church affairs, which was historically seen as the core task of a Ministry for Education and Culture, so the literal translation is the "Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Church Affairs."
