The Artland-Gymnasium Quakenbrück (AGQ) is a secondary school in the Artland region for students in grades 5 to 13.

When the monopoly of Latin teaching fell in the course of the 19th century, the Quakenbrücker Magistrate applied for the conversion to a Progymnasium, which started operations in 1832 with three teachers, three classes and 40 students, the number of which, however, steadily decreased until the school became a Realgymnasium and achieved increasing numbers of students.

In 1874 the school moved to a new building on Große Mühlenstraße, which was subsequently expanded and rebuilt several times.

The inauguration of the school took place on 20 January 1967, the speech was given by former student and then-state minister of the economy, Karl Möller [de].

The AGQ is located in the southeast of Quakenbrück's old town, near the River Kleine Mühlenhase and Lake Deichsee, but also near the city center, the train station [de; nl] and other transport connections.

[6] Since 2013, the school has been actively maintaining a network of contacts in the local economy,[7] which aims to make it easier for students to start their professional life through internships and scholarships.

The topics of the various groups are: mopeds, chess, books, computer science, photography, performing arts (theater and musical), music (school band, bowed string instruments, wind instruments), languages (English, Spanish and Dutch), biology ("experiencing nature" and Natural history) and sports (football, basketball, hip-hop and zumba).

The markup language HTML is taught there, with which the students can design their personal website on a subdomain of the school.
