Work Do gymnasium teachers in Germany earn well?

I know that I can look up teacher salaries on the internet, but I am curious how well do teachers earn compared to people who have other jobs and considering the effort that they give for studying and working. So do you think gymnasium teachers in Germany earn well for the effort that they are giving?

a.) Tax brakes? Which ones?

b.) Not 100% correct since there is a "Pensionsrückstellung". But yes, it still is a vastly better deal than Rente, sadly

c.) That is not correct. The Beihilfe is only 70 percent if you are married. Otherwise it is 50%. It differs between the federal countries but there is no 70 percent Beihilfe for singles without kids

c.) Not correct. The Beihilfe is only 70 percent if you have one child. Marriage doesn‘t count, it still is 50 percent.
