Club history

On December 24, 1919, a call was made to found the Association of Christian-German Middle School Teachers in Austria . It was founded one month later, on January 24, 1920. From 1925, the body of Austria's Catholic teaching staff , the Austrian Pedagogical Watchdog , also became the association journal of the Association of Christian-German Middle School Teachers in Austria . In 1934 a federal association was created for the various regional associations that had been independent until then. When Austria was annexed to the German Reich in 1938 , the association was dissolved, the association's assets were confiscated and the association's management arrested. From 1942 onwards there were illegal gatherings and activities of the association. After the end of the Second World War , the first meetings took place from 1945 onwards with the aim of re-establishing it under the name of the Association of Christian Middle School Teachers Austria . The establishment was allowed on February 2, 1946, so that from March 1946 the new entry could be advertised. The constituent assembly took place on April 1, 1946, and the first general assembly took place on May 9, 1946. On January 1, 1949, the organ of the association, The Austrian Middle School Teacher, was created, which was renamed The Austrian Higher School from 1963 . On April 22, 1961, a federal association was created for the various regional associations that had been independent until then. On March 1, 1963, the name was changed to the Association of Christian Teachers at Austrian Higher Schools . It still exists today as an association of Christian teachers at higher and middle schools in Austria (VCL). The VCL is close to the Austrian People's Party , which covers the bourgeois-conservative spectrum and is traditionally closely linked to church and business. She is a member of the Working Group of Catholic Associations in Austria (AKV).
