Technical school for foreign trade and colonial merchants

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The technical school for foreign trade and colonial merchants was opened on November 1, 1942 in the premises of the vocational school of the German Labor Front (DAF) on Wall 179/180 in Bremen . According to the National Socialist idea, the school was supposed to educate the elite of young merchants who, after the victorious end of the war, can resume and continue the proud old Hanseatic tradition. In addition to war invalids, their students were recruited from young businessmen from Southeastern, Western and Northern Europe, and the German applicants had to undergo a Gau and Reichsauslese from the head office for vocational education and talent development of the German Labor Front. The school attendance lasted only three semesters until the final examination, the merchants were only to be withdrawn from the world of work and probably also from military service for a short time. The faculty consisted of representatives from Hanseatic business life.

The school was recognized as the first Reich technical school of the German Labor Front for foreign trade.
