history
History of the school house
In 1514, a schoolmaster and his assistants were first mentioned in writing in Bad Leonfelden. In 1577 the schoolhouse was built as an extension to the town hall towards the church and rectory. This "domus disciplinae" is the oldest parish school building still preserved in Upper Austria . With the introduction of compulsory schooling by Maria Theresa on December 6, 1774, the previous parish school became a trivial school. In 1850, the district court of Leonfelden was installed in the town hall and school building , and the school was temporarily moved to house No. 35 in Leonfelden.
Museum history
The initiative to found a school museum came from the district school council Urfahr / Umgebung and dates back to 1980. A group of committed teachers was involved in the renovation of the building, which was threatened with demolition, and in the construction of the museum, which opened in 1988 and reached its final expansion in 2002. In 2002 the official appointment to the "Upper Austrian School Museum" followed.
In 2006 the museum was awarded the Austrian Museum Seal of Approval for the first time .
In 2010 the school museum received the Austrian Museum Award for the exhibition area “School under the swastika”, in which the instrumentalisation and appropriation of school children in a totalitarian state is explained with many original objects.

building
The two-storey building with shoulder-arched portals was raised to its current height in 1785. Inside it has vaults designed as barrel or lance-cap barrels, the latter dating from the 17th century. In one room of the school museum there is a Riemling ceiling above armor tree, which is also supported by a stone pillar. The iron doors of the chimneys date from the 18th century.
Furnishing
The classroom, the sanitary facilities, the school detention center and the partly late Gothic window frames are still preserved in their original state.
The focus of the presentation is on the introduction of compulsory schooling by Empress Maria Theresa , the certification system and performance evaluation over the course of time, as well as the professional profile of the teacher over the course of history. An extensive collection of teaching materials, school books and school wall maps from the 19th century explain the different teaching methods that were used in everyday school life in the past. The development of the reading book as well as the creation of the writing and the various writing implements from the Roman style to the fountain pen form further cornerstones of the presentation.
A special exhibit is an ABC tablet from the 18th century. The former method of acquiring the art of reading is clearly demonstrated with a matching gingerbread model.
Especially for pupils and teaching staff of the 3rd and 4th grades, the museum provides material appropriate to the curriculum for the preparation and follow-up of the museum visit (memos, quizzes, hard-working pictures for the best).
The museum also has a museum seal of approval that is valid until 2021 .
