Werkschulheim Felbertal

The Werkschulheim Felbertal is a vocational school at the federal state Salzburg, in Austria. There are about 340 students. The area from the school is 5,5 hectare tall. Every year there are about 30 graduates (2015).[1]

History and concept

The Werkschulheim Felbertal was founded in 1951 as a boarding school in Mittersill. Headmaster until 1958 and founder was Alexej Stachowitsch. In 1964 the school resettled to Ebenau in Salzburg.

In August 1951 the 7th World Scout Jamboree took place in Bad Ischl. In previous years, the idea of founding a school in Berchtesgaden had circulated among the Scouting community. One month later the foundation stone for the Werkschulheim was laid in the de:Felbertal near Mittersill in the Salzburg Pinzgau region.

From the beginning, the aim of the school was to combine secondary education with craftsmanship, so that each graduate received a matriculation certificate and a journeyman's certificate. Scouting ideas such as the patrol as a unit and out-of-school learning in project and experience weeks are still being carried out today.

In the Werkschulheim, the original Lagertor ("camp gateway") of the World Jamboree in Bad Ischl stands as a monument from the founding year 1951. In addition, the Werkschulheim has its own Scout group, which regularly meets there.

gollark: I fear that some sort of computer troubleshooting class may just end up teaching people to blindly try one specific thing they learned instead of... actually problem-solving. Which would admittedly be better than now.
gollark: People just see an error of some sort, and immediately their brain shuts down, even if it specifies what to do about it.
gollark: A useful skill people seem to lack is any ability whatsoever to solve basic problems with computers, but that's hard to teach.
