Mountain school
A mountain school is an educational facility for technical mine officials, such as B. Steiger . In contrast to a mining academy, it was a technical school .
historical development
Even in the early phase of industrialization in Germany, senior management personnel for mining were trained in their own school (mountain school). The primary goal was to impart a broad basic technical knowledge in order to be able to carry out the various tasks underground in a professional manner. It was replaced in the west in 1963 by the state mining engineering school. Training at a mountain school usually lasted two years and was combined with practical work in a mine .
Since earlier the education of many miners was not sufficient for a visit to the mountain school were at the beginning of the 20th century often Foothill schools or mountain preschools established to the miners in their basic education to the visit of a mountain school prepare ( "Theoretical overshoot").
