The THS Pembaurstraße is a secondary school with a technical focus in the Pradl district of Innsbruck .
School history
Designed by the architect Theodor Prachensky in 1928 , the double secondary school was not completed until 1937 due to a lack of funds. The secular opening ceremony named Dr. Schuschnigg School was planned for spring 1938. However, the annexation of Austria did not result in this.
On May 7, 1938, at the naming ceremony, the name Hans Schemm Doppelhauptschule was introduced. During the Second World War the school building served as accommodation for immigrants and as barracks and later as accommodation for American and French occupation troops.
In 1953 the school was named Rennerschule after the first Chancellor of the Republic of Austria, Karl Renner . In 1957, new school laws determined the division of schools with more than 16 classes. In the new school year there was the boys 'main school Pradl I and the boys' main school Pradl II with separate directorates and faculty in the same building.
In 1982 a name change became necessary due to the management of coeducational classes: the girls' wing became the secondary schools I and II Gabelsbergerstrasse, the boys wing became the secondary schools I and II Pembaurstrasse.
The dwindling number of pupils made it necessary to merge the two separate schools in one house in 1990. New ideas both in the area of school organization (autonomy) and on the pedagogical level (setting priorities, project teaching) were tried out by leading classes with a technical focus in a school trial. In 1997 the school received a landmark: the flywheel of the largest steam engine in Tyrol was set up in front of the school. In 2007 the school building housed 12 classrooms with group rooms and all modern, subject-specific rooms.
School profile
The technical secondary school Pembaurstraße offers a modern performance-oriented school system with the provision of practical and job-oriented training as well as preparation for secondary schools and for professional life.
The technical subjects are emphasized by increasing the number of hours:
- Computer science (1st – 4th grade)
- Typing and word processing (compulsory subjects in 2nd + 3rd grade)
- Physics and chemistry with practical exercises in small groups (1st to 4th grade),
- Geometric drawing (2nd to 4th grade)
- Technical and textile work
- Project weeks
For three weeks a year, topics are independently researched and worked on through project-oriented lessons. Excursions and company visits provide insights into professional life.
building
The school complex consists of two elongated, four-story buildings along Pembaurstrasse (the former boys' wing) and the parallel Gabelsbergerstrasse (the former girls’s wing). The two main buildings are connected in the middle by the adjoining gymnasiums, to the north and south of which there is a courtyard. Access is via outside stairs with monumental portal architecture. The building is a listed building .
