history

As early as 1910 turned Member of Parliament Josef Siegele from Arzl in the Tyrolean Parliament in the proposal, Tiroler Oberland to build an agricultural school. The Tyrolean state parliament decided on July 3, 1914 to build this school in Imst. The First World War ruined this plan. In 1919 the matter was re-applied for in the Tyrolean state parliament together with State Culture Council President Siegele and the State Councilor for Agriculture Andreas Gebhart and, with modest resources, a single-class winter school in Imst began in the autumn of 1919 in the building of the abandoned building trade school.

In 1921 a housekeeping school was set up. Training workshops for beekeeping and weaving were established. A dairy was run and later supplemented with a teaching dairy. A country inns school was set up in the post office and the former Sprengenstein residence. The agricultural winter school was later expanded to include a two-year training course. A generous extension in 1929 put an end to the constant shortage of space for the students.

At the end of the Second World War , school operations came to a standstill. With the billeting of soldiers and the use as a military hospital by Wehrmacht soldiers and then by occupation soldiers, the school buildings had come down. In autumn 1945, a new course in housekeeping was modestly started in the Linzerhof. From 1946 it was possible to teach in the main building again. Soon, with a large number of students, there was again a severe lack of space in classrooms. With the provincial councilor Eduard Wallnöfer - the later governor graduated from the agricultural college in Imst in 1933 - the housekeeping school was able to move into a new school building in 1952. The technical and social changes led to a reduction in the number of pupils, but remained constant in Imst until the 1970s. In the 1970s, agricultural training was expanded to include three years of training. The home economics school was only expanded to include a three-year training course in the 1990s.

Today, in the 2010s, there are 13 classes, five of them as the 9th grade in compulsory schooling, and eight advanced classes of the three-year training. What is new is that lectures, courses and training for adults are increasingly being offered.
