The HTL Leoben is a higher technical college in the city of Leoben in Styria . In 2018 around 430 students attended the HTL.

history

The mountain school or Hauerschule was opened in Leoben in 1865 and the first director was Johann Hippmann. In the Hauer school, supervisors and steers for mining were trained. In 1876 it was taken over by the State of Styria and in 1948 by the Association of Mines and Iron Industry as the mining and smelting school Leoben . Up to the end of the mountain school in 1992 almost 2000 Steiger were trained.

In 1959 the school moved from Langgasse to the newly built school complex with boarding school in Max-Tendler-Straße. In 1960 the higher department for metallurgy technology (now the metallurgy branch) was set up with public rights and a maturity examination, and in 1980 the conversion to a five-year HTL with a Matura diploma took place. The training focus on logistics was expanded in 2002, raw materials technology in 2013 and information technology & smart production in 2016. Boarding rooms have not been offered since the 2018/19 school year.

School types

The higher technical college includes:

  • Metallurgy and environmental technology: The branch deals with metallurgy , the extraction, refinement, further processing and recycling of metals including environmental aspects of the coal and steel industry. This subject has been in the Berg- und Hüttenschule Leoben for 150 years.
  • Technical logistics & management: The HTL-Leoben was the first school in Austria to offer the branch of logistics . This subject area deals with program solutions in the economy as well as with optimization of the program processes of companies.
  • Raw materials technology: The raw materials technology branch has been taught at the HTL Leoben since autumn 2013. The focus of the training is on the prospecting, extraction, processing and refining of mineral raw materials . The HTL-Leoben is currently (2018) the only higher school in Central Europe that offers this branch. This branch has been run as an industrial engineering branch since 2016.
  • Information technology & smart production: Since autumn 2016, this branch has been managed with the specialist fields of IT and information systems, network technology and distributed systems, databases and multimedia, system planning and project development, programming and software engineering and the Smart Production Lab area.

The training ends with a matriculation and diploma examination, after three years of professional experience the title HTL engineer is possible ( industrial engineer for the logistics, raw materials and IT branches).

In addition, the school also has a foremen's school ( foreman is the relevant master's title ) for employed people. This type of school is also unique in Austria. Two subjects are offered:

Laboratories

The HTL-Leoben is equipped with several high-tech laboratories, which are tailored to the various branches.

  • Materials testing laboratory: The materials testing laboratory is mainly used in the metallurgical branch. This laboratory is equipped with machines for testing materials, such as a tractor that can be used to test and calculate the yield strength of metals.
  • Furnace room: In the furnace room, the students get to know the process of casting metals. Here the metallurgists of the first year design their own belt buckle, which they can cast themselves in workshop lessons. In the room there is a furnace that can be heated to several 1000 ° C and a ceramic furnace.
  • Automation laboratory: There is also an automation laboratory at the HTL-Leoben, which is mainly used by the students in the logistics branch. In this laboratory, processes of transport are practiced, whereby the aim is to find the fastest and most economically productive way.
  • Raw materials laboratories : These laboratories are mainly used by the students in the raw materials branch. Here are machines such as a jaw crusher, which crushes rocks in order to then examine and test them. There are currently five rooms of these laboratories.
  • Smart Production Lab: Here the students of the IT branch are taught in groups.

Cooperations

The school has partnerships with companies such as Böhler Schmiedetechnik , RHI AG , the Stones and Ceramics Association of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce , and Cemex Austria AG .
