After graduating from high school in 1960, Werner Schimanovich studied mechanical engineering at the Vienna University of Technology and physics, mathematics and philosophy at the philosophical faculty of the University of Vienna until 1966 . In 1965 he applied for a patent for the storage and reproduction of information on magnetic tape using cathode rays and devoted himself to the construction of a centric rotary piston engine. After working for the City of Vienna as a traffic planner and mathematician in 1966/1967 , he received his doctorate in 1973. phil.
