The effect of school closures on the spread of COVID-19 has been discussed among experts and the general public since those measures have been taken only a few months after the start of the pandemic in 2020. Within this study, the JuneGermany framework, is used to quantify the impact of school closures in the German state Rhineland Palatinate using an agent-based simulation approach. It was found that the simulations predicts a reduction of the number of infections, hospitalizations as well as death by a factor of 2.5 compared to scenarios, where no school closures are enforced, during the second wave between October 2020 and February 2021
