On October 16, 1964, the school was taken over by the Bayerischen Staatsministeriums für Unterricht und Kultus. [ Bayerischen Staatsministeriums für Unterricht und Kultus: the Bavarian section of the Kultusministerium, the Ministry for Education and Culture. 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." See: [http://www.km.bayern.de/km/index.shtml Kultusministerium] - Bayerischen Staatsministeriums für Unterricht und Kultus.] Apfelbacher then took the position as the newly assigned minister for higher public education in Upper Bavaria-East.
