The HTL Steyr is a higher technical federal school in the city of Steyr in Upper Austria . With over 1050 students and more than 130 teachers, it is one of the largest schools in the region.
history
The school was opened on February 8, 1874 as a technical school for the iron industry in the former Jesuit monastery on Michaelerplatz and the current building of the Bundesrealgymnasium Steyr. The technical school was followed by a research institute and a training workshop, which were combined to form the United Technical School and Research Institute. This was followed by the names of the Federal College for Iron and Steel Processing, State Technical School, Engineering School, Technical and Commercial Federal College, Federal Trade School until it became a higher technical school with the new School Organization Act in 1963 .
On September 23, 1883 the new school building was opened in the Schwimmschulstrasse, which is used today by the BAKIP Steyr.
Departments
The HTL Steyr is divided into 4 departments and has a total of 7 higher classes (5 years) and 2 technical school classes (4 years) per year.
Mechanical engineering - vehicle technology
- Higher Department of Mechanical Engineering - Vehicle Technology
- Technical school for mechanical engineering - automotive engineering
In the higher department for mechanical engineering - vehicle technology, a parallel English class has been run since 2005 in addition to the normal German-speaking class. Most of the subjects are taught in English, which is particularly beneficial in the automotive industry. The HTL Steyr is currently the only school in the German-speaking area that offers this type of training.

In 2014, the HTL Steyr organized the three-day motor vehicle symposium in the multi-purpose hall for the eleventh time. Top-class speakers from science and business report in a wide variety of presentations on the latest technology, innovations and the latest trends in the automotive industry and mechanical engineering. Students from the Mechanical Engineering - Vehicle Technology department were also able to participate.
ÖVK lectures
Several times a year, lectures by the Austrian Association for Automotive Technology take place in the school's own multi-purpose hall . The speakers are experts from the fields of automobiles, engines and technology who talk about the latest developments in the automotive industry.

Two graduation balls take place every year. The so-called " Krampuskränzchen " of the mechanical engineering - vehicle technology department is held at the beginning of December. The electronics, mechatronics and art and design departments usually hold a second high school graduation ball at the beginning of the year.
Events for students
Sports weeks
In the second class there is a winter sports week, during which the classes can practice winter sports in a ski area and are supported by teachers.
