Title best practises

Question

My school has some really weird ideas on how the title for my seminar work has to look. How would I go on to create such a layout, while maintaining proper LaTeX best practises (i.e. using \title)?

You might take a look at the titling package, which has tools to customise the maketitle command. — Bernard, Feb 22 '21 at 20:05

I suggest to not use \title.

A key-value syntax is much handier.

\documentclass{article}
% the following should go in a local class/package file
\ExplSyntaxOn
\NewDocumentCommand{\Facharbeit}{m}
 {
  \begin{titlepage}
  \raggedright
\keys_set:nn { facharbeit/titlepage } { #1 }
\group_begin:
  \bfseries
  \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
  \l_facharbeit_school_tl \
  \l_facharbeit_address_tl
  \end{tabular}
  \group_end:
\vspace*{\stretch{1}}
\begin{center}
  \bfseries
  \LARGE Facharbeit \
  \Large im~Seminarfach:~\l_facharbeit_seminar_tl
  \end{center}
\vspace*{\stretch{1}}
\begin{center}
  \l_facharbeit_title_tl
  \end{center}
\vspace*{\stretch{2}}
\group_begin:
  \bfseries
  Verfasser/in:~\l_facharbeit_author_tl
  \par\medskip
  Fachlehrer/in:~\l_facharbeit_teacher_tl
  \par\medskip
  Ausgabetermin:~\l_facharbeit_date_tl
  \par\medskip
  Abgabetermin:~\l_facharbeit_deadline_tl
  \group_end:
\end{titlepage}
 }
\keys_define:nn { facharbeit/titlepage }
 {
  school   .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_school_tl,
  address  .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_address_tl,
  seminar  .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_seminar_tl,
  title    .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_title_tl,
  author   .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_author_tl,
  teacher  .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_teacher_tl,
  date     .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_date_tl,
  deadline .tl_set:N = \l_facharbeit_deadline_tl,
 }
\ExplSyntaxOff
\begin{document}
\Facharbeit{
  school = School,
  address = Some street \ Somecity,
  seminar = SF6,
  author = A. Uthor,
  teacher = T. Eacher,
  date = 28 February 2021,
  deadline = 28 February 2021,
  title = Besondere Primzahlen,
}
\end{document}

How would I pursue to create the second screenshot I have just uploaded - esepcially those signature lines? — timlwsk, Feb 23 '21 at 18:35
Just use a couple of underscores. Or something like \rule{4cm}{0.5pt} — Ingmar, Feb 23 '21 at 18:47
@timlwsk: Also, please keep it to one question per posting. Much easier to keep track of it that way. — Ingmar, Feb 23 '21 at 18:54
