Schools in the city of Perg
The town of Perg in the Lower Mühlviertel , like a number of other district towns in Upper Austria , only developed into a school town, a school and training center, with supraregional importance in the 20th century.
The beginning of the school system
About the history of the school in Pergkirchen contains the main items Pergkirchen .
Schools in what is now the municipality of Perg probably existed earlier, but a schoolmaster was first mentioned in the parish chronicle of Perg in 1542 and a school in the Pergkirchner parish hall in 1553, including the associated properties in the village of Pergkirchen . Until the introduction of compulsory instruction, lessons were private.
The sparse entries in the parish chronicle of the parish of Perg indicate that occasionally money was donated for the schoolmaster, he was entitled to a schoolmaster's salary, he was given land for use, he was entitled to natural produce for singing at weddings and for him to teach the children school fees were to be paid per child.
The Perg schoolmasters of that time were mostly the organists in the parish church of Perg .
During the Protestant period in Perg (approx. 1570 to 1624) preachers were active in the place of schoolmasters . One of the students was Thomas Lansius , who grew up in Perg and later became a professor at the Collegium Illustre in Tübingen .
Introduction of compulsory instruction
The compulsory education was introduced by Maria Theresia in 1774 in Austria and in the crown lands . The sale of an old schoolhouse is documented as early as 1777.
After the French Wars , a war veteran taught the male youth in a house near Zeitling and in Perg on the main square (Kollross-Haus No. 104, today Bahnhofstrasse 1) in reading, writing and arithmetic on Sunday afternoons. Lessons were later held in the Mitterlehnerhaus (market no. 102, today Hauptplatz 17).
An account of a schoolmaster from around 1830 shows that he has income from the school fund, organist service, sacristan service, church assets, stolage fees, foundations and other sources. From this, however, he had to pay and feed his assistants, arrange the cleaning of the school, pay the organ winder, the sacristan's assistant and the collectors. Income of 576 guilders was offset by expenses of 199 guilders, leaving him with 377 guilders.
In 1830 the citizens of the market built a school building at Lebinger Strasse 2 (formerly Rathausgasse 13). The ceiling collapsed in the first year of school, fortunately after class ended, so that no one was injured. Since the building was covered with fire-proofing, it was spared the fire in 1875. At first there was only one class. In 1832 the school was divided into two classes, from 1871 into three classes and from 1872 into four classes. The school classes were partially accommodated outside the two-class school building in the Weichselbaumer inn at Hauptplatz 16 and at Schoberstraße 4 (formerly Badgasse 41). Overall, the accommodation of the school classes was very inadequate.
The elementary school on Linzer Straße
The community committee therefore decided towards the end of the 19th century to build a new schoolhouse on Linzer Straße. The plan came from the architect Raimund Jeblinger , Linz, who also designed the Perger infant care facility and the Dirnberger house in Perg. Before construction began, the basic question had to be clarified and the neighboring cemetery had to be abandoned.
The new primary school building was ready for use in autumn 1893 and contained six classrooms, a gymnasium and three apartments for teachers' families. The classrooms were each 10 meters long, 7 meters wide and 3½ meters high. At that time, the new elementary school was considered the most beautiful in the district and also received a children's play area and gymnasium as well as a magnificent park enclosed with a solid iron grating. The entire area was 80 ares and 92 square meters. The previous school building in Rathausgasse was used as a warm bath.
The first director of the new school was headmaster Johann Stöckler (* 1856 in Wels, † 1941 in Perg) from 1891 to 1921. This was followed by August Grohmann (* 1872 in Vienna, † 1931 in Perg) and from 1932 Konrad Eibensteiner (* 1886 in Pabnaukirchen) ; † 1956 in Perg).
Primary school directors after 1945:
- Konrad Eibensteiner (1945 to 1947)
- Maria Reumann (1947 to 1950)
- Friedrich Heigelmayer (1950 to 1963)
- Anton Plass (1963 to 1966)
- Maria Reumann (1966 to 1968)
This building served as an elementary school in Perg for 75 years, until 1968, and is still in use for teaching purposes after a thorough renovation as an annex to Hauptschule 1. In between it also served the music school, the vocational school and most of the Perger higher schools in their initial phase. The building, owned by the municipality of Perg, is the only Perg school building that has been listed (since 2005).
The spacious park has always provided a backdrop for children's parties, for example the Perger Kindergarten in 1952. From 1977 on, the nationally known Mühlviertler Children's Games (Mükis) , a unique children's cultural festival in Upper Austria , took place there for decades at the beginning of the summer holidays .
The elementary school in Mozartstrasse
The newly built elementary school building at Mozartstrasse 6 was opened on October 13, 1968 and temporarily also housed classes from secondary school II, the polytechnic school and a branch of the special school. There are also rooms for a school day nursery and an apartment for the school caretaker.
Primary school directors in the new school building:
- Maria Reumann (1968 to 1972)
- Hans Bannert (1972 to 1983)
- Gertrude Lehner (1983 to 1989)
- Wolfgang Renner (1989 to 2001)
- Elisabeth Löger (2001 to 2018)
- Ursula Puchberger (since 2018)
In 2005 and 2006 the primary school building was thoroughly renovated. Windows and doors were replaced and the facade made colorful. A spacious auditorium, a new courtyard for breaks and a library were set up.
In 2008, according to the school, a total of 311 pupils were taught by 38 teachers in two pre-school classes, 7 regular elementary school classes, 4 integration classes, two "EVA" classes with integrated afternoon care and 2 remedial classes.
The citizen school, later Hauptschule 1, Neue Mittelschule 1, now Middle School
Even before the First World War , efforts were made to get a community school . However, an application in this regard was rejected by the Upper Austrian provincial government in 1909.
The number of private citizenship students increased steadily, although they had to take their exams in Linz , Urfahr , Steyr and Freistadt . But it was not until 1920 that lessons began on the first floor of the Seyr inn. Friedrich Walser was appointed as the provisional director, who ultimately managed the school until 1945.
The 3-year school was mainly attended by gifted boys. A separate permit was required for girls. The number of pupils grew considerably because many parents from the surrounding towns sent their children to Perg to attend the community school.
In 1929, the now 4-year-old secondary school , as it was now called due to a new law, was able to move into its own building on Linzer Straße, designed by architect Mauriz Balzarek and built by master builders Wögerbauer and Simader. In addition to the main school, a further training school for apprentices was housed in the new premises for two days. The school had a large gym, drawing room, physics room, school kitchen, school bathroom, and handicraft room. Central heating and water pipes were available. The school also had two gymnasiums and playgrounds.
The school directors after 1945 were Wilhelm Förster (1945 to 1952), Richard Seidl (initially provisionally 1952/53 and officially appointed from 1955 to 1970), Emanuel Zika (1953 to 1955), Elfriede Karlinger (1970 provisional), Viktor Topitz (1971 to 1987), Josef Buchberger (1988 to 1999), Waltraud Peilberger (provisionally 1999 to 2000), Franz Moser (2000 to 2011) Hubert Kammerhuber (2011 to 2018) and Judith Valtl (since 2018).
In 1975, the building of Hauptschule 1, which has been designated as such since 1973, was renovated under Hauptschoolirektor Viktor Topitz, although the style features of the building erected in 1929 were largely dispensed with. If the school building is to be expanded in the following years, including a connection to the auxiliary building, the facade of the main building will be restored in the spirit of Balzarek.
The conversion into a new middle school took place from the school year 2012/13. In 2013/14, an extension was built between the two existing buildings, where a 405 square meter gym, a break hall and the school kitchen on the ground floor and the management, a drawing room, a physics room, a music room, an IT room and on the upper floor a group room are housed. Most of the classrooms were equipped with smart boards.
Hauptschule 2
In the 1970s, it became necessary to set up a second secondary school in Perg. In the school year 1973/74 this started teaching with 5 classes in the rooms of the elementary school in Mozartstraße. In the 1974/75 school year, the children were taught in shower rooms, gymnasiums, in corridors and in the changing rooms, as Hauptschule II had grown to 8 classes and there was a shortage of space. In the following school year, lessons were distributed across Hauptschule I, elementary school and business academy.
Construction work on the new secondary school did not begin until 1976, and in December of the 1977/78 school year 12 classes moved to the new building in the school center, which, however, did not yet have gym facilities. It was not until the 1983/84 school year that physical education could be held in the newly built district sports hall. Due to the steadily increasing number of pupils, the school was expanded to include an extension in the 1997/98 school year.
The first director was Rudolf Dammayr, who, however, died in the 1980/81 school year at the age of 58. After the provisional management of the school by Werner Moser, Alois Angerer became the new director in 1982, followed from the 1988/89 school year by Heinz Kamelreiter. From 2001 to 2012 Friedrich Lindenberger was director of secondary school 2. He was followed by Karl Aistleitner after a temporary arrangement. In the school year 2008/09 the students were taught by 37 teachers. In autumn 2017 Michaela Oberleitner took over the management of the school.
In September 2011, the new Campus Perg model was introduced for the first time in Upper Austria as a lower level for secondary schools or schools for 10 to 14 year olds (AHS / HS level).
A school partnership with the Franz von Lenbach Realschule Schrobenhausen has existed since 2012 as part of the Comenius Beltscon project .

The branch of the Music-Pedagogical Federal Realgymnasium Linz, Honauerstraße, which was initially set up on the first floor of the Seyr inn in Perg in the 1967 school year and later housed in the former elementary school on Linzer Straße until moving into the new building in 1970, became independent in 1971.
Since 1973/74 it has been a federal upper level secondary school, in which several focuses have developed over the years. The teaching staff consists of 47 teachers in the school year 2008/09. 398 students attend the school. The Matura can be taken in the musical-instrumental, human biological or the arts & media branch.
The first director from 1967 to 1984 was Franz Mayrhofer (* December 1919, † March 5, 2012), followed by Gerhard Winkler (1935–2012), an ancient historian who ran the school until his retirement in 1996. Gert Grün was appointed director of the school in 1996, Lucia Schneider in 2006 and Franz Weigl in 2012.
Federal commercial academy and commercial school
In 1970 the town council of Perg passed the decision in principle to set up a business school. Initially, the school began in 1971 as the branch of the Federal Commercial Academy and Commercial School Linz, Rudigierstrasse, in the former primary school building on Linzer Strasse, followed in 1973 by the Commercial Academy.
In 1975 the school moved into the new building in the school center and in 1976 the school became independent. The directors were Erich Hoppstädter from 1971, Rudolf Kainz from 1976, Reinhold Hofstätter from 1982/83, Hermann Hennerbichler from 1983, Reiner Maria Strobl from 1993, Wolfgang Reisinger from 2000 and Renate Hofstadler from 2004 to 2013. Gabriela Teubenbacher will head the school from 2012/2013. In the 2008/09 school year, the range of training included a three-year business school with a focus on information technology and e-business, as well as five-year branches with a classic HAK curriculum or the focus on logistics and freight forwarding or international business with foreign languages and culture.
In 2008 the teaching staff consisted of 47 teachers and 483 students were taught.
Higher educational establishment for economic professions
The five-year higher education institution for women's professions with an attached three-year technical college began in 1977 as a branch of the Prinz-Eugen-Schule, Linz, on the premises of the HAK. The teaching kitchens of secondary school II and the district chamber of farmers were used for cooking lessons, the gymnasium was housed in the Union sports field, and the boarding school provided the company kitchen and a classroom.
The new building was put into operation together with the neighboring state music school in 1980, making the school independent. From 1982 to 1988 an advanced course for graduates of the three-year technical school took place in the school, where students from all over Austria were taught. In 1989 the school trial nutrition and business administration started, which in 1993 became part of regular school operations.
The first director of the school was Gerlinde Ender. From 1995 Johann Kastner was director of the school until he was replaced by Eva Wiltberger-Krasel in 2015. In 2020 Reinhard Furtlehner was appointed as the new director. The training took place in the school year 2008/09 in a three-year technical school with a focus on health and social affairs and in five-year branches with a high school diploma and a focus on nutrition and business administration or health and social management (since 2014). 434 students (mostly girls) were taught by 49 teachers. Both the number of students and teachers is falling. In 2019/120, 323 students (including 19 boys) were taught by 38 teachers.
The school was expanded in 2002 with the construction of an extension and a new building to include a combined company and teaching kitchen with a company teaching restaurant, creative rooms, IT rooms and a music room. In 2005, as part of the ongoing renovation of the school building, a shared library was set up with the HTL Perg (Higher Technical College Perg).
Since 2008 Erasmus projects have been carried out regularly, which enable students to complete an internship at a school in the European Union supported by the EU.

State Music School Perg
A music school was started in Perg for the first time in 1935 by elementary school director Dagobert Hofstätter, and it was closed four years later. In 1943 the municipality of Perg founded the district music school for youth and people , which was closed again shortly afterwards in 1944 due to the war.
The next new beginning was in 1951/52 with the Machländische Musikschule, initially on a club basis and a year later as a community music school under the direction of Johann Noggler, who ran the school located in the old elementary school (outbuilding of secondary school 1) until 1971, followed by Alois Dirngrabner. Since 1976 Johann Kaindl has been director of the music school that was taken over by the state of Upper Austria in 1977. The regional music school in Schwertberg is also under his direction as a branch of the regional music school in Perg. When consultant Johann Kaindl left on March 31, 2010, Johann Weilguni (previously director of the Grein State Music School) was appointed as his successor.
In 1981 the newly built building in the school center, designed for 400 music students, was ready to move into. In 1994/95 709 students were enrolled at the State Music School Perg. In the years 1998 to 2000, therefore, the conversion and expansion of the school building took place. In 2009/10, 1208 students were enrolled, 115 of them in the Schwertberg branch. They were taught by 40 teachers. Another 500 people are on the waiting list.
Since 2004 the school has had an organ built by the East Frisian organ builder Martin ter Haseborg . The school has a symphonic wind orchestra made up of teachers and students.
