history

The sponsorship was the city of Stuttgart ( commercial school in Hoppenlau ) and the owner was the welfare association of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Baden-Württemberg.
In 1964 a school building was built in the alleyways for 1,500 students. Before that, the lessons took place in the Bad-Hotel.
In 1978 the association was founded. The two-year apprenticeship as hotel and restaurant assistant was new at the school.
In 1980 the training for the hotel and restaurant assistant took place. At the same time there was a change in the catchment areas, the administrative district of North Baden was given up. The job title waiter became restaurant specialist and hotel and restaurant assistant became hotel specialist. In 1985 the number of students increased to over 2000. An extension was built. In 1987 the Association of Former Students was founded.

The additional qualification “Kitchen and Service Management” is offered as part of the training to become a cook or restaurant specialist. In 1996 the additional qualification “hotel management” was added as a further offer for high school graduates for the profession of hotel manager.
