The HTL Mödling is a vocational college (Höhere Technische Lehranstalt) with an attached research institute ( HTBLuVA ) in Mödling , which emerged from the Austro-Hungarian Technical Military Academy Mödling and is one of the largest schools in Europe with around 3500 students .
History of the HTL Mödling
Today's HTL Mödling is housed in the buildings of the former Austro-Hungarian Technical Military Academy , which was originally located in the collegiate barracks in Vienna from 1869 to 1904 . Since the buildings of the collegiate barracks no longer met the requirements of a technical military academy, people began to look for a new location. The choice fell on building a new military academy on an 18-hectare pasture on the southern slope of the Eichkogel , which the City of Mödling acquired in 1896 for four million crowns from the Reich Ministry of War . This sum was to be paid off in installments over the next 54.5 years, but the last installment payment was made in 1918 due to the collapse of Austria-Hungary . Despite the lack of installment payments, the city of Mödling benefited from the building of the academy as the Awareness increased enormously, and the economy also flourished.
In 1901 the construction of the main building and the other 25 individual buildings began according to the plans of the military chief engineer Paul Acham, which was finished in 1904 and opened on November 4, 1904 by Emperor Franz Joseph . Up to 370 students could live and be taught in the academy at this time. In addition, there was an almost self-sufficient infrastructure, for example, in addition to the facilities required for military operations such as stables and parade grounds, there was also an own gardening shop, a butcher's shop, a sick and isolation pavilion, several libraries, a swimming pool, a hairdresser's room, etc.
After only 14 years of school operation at the Mödling site, the Austro-Hungarian Technical Military Academy ceased operations on November 12, 1918 with the proclamation of the Republic of German Austria . The military school was followed by a German-Austrian state secondary school , in which, however, the conditions were catastrophic, for example many times more students were accepted, which resulted in poor supplies and even a lack of water. For a short time it was considered to use the building elsewhere, for example as a retirement home or casino , but then it was decided to continue with a technical education.
On November 17, 1919, regular teaching was started for the first time at the HTL Mödling under the name "German-Austrian Technical-Industrial State School in Mödling" with 154 students in four departments (civil engineering, structural engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering) and initially ten teachers . Ten years later, over 1000 students were taught in six departments.
Heinrich Maier , a member of the Maier-Messner-Caldonazzi resistance group, was a religion teacher at the school between 1936 and 1938.
The annexation of Austria to the German Reich on March 12, 1938 left its mark, so from the school year 1938/1939 the subjects "Human Heredity and Race Care" and "Introduction to Air Protection" were taught, parts of the building were painted in camouflage colors, as well as the pre-existing pre-military training (within the scope of physical exercises) focused. In addition, the company fire brigade of the vocational school was expanded, and the students were called to so-called emergency operations more and more frequently in the course of the war, until classes were completely stopped on March 30, 1945. As the Soviet troops were getting closer, the order was given on April 4th to blow up the facility so as not to leave it to the occupiers. However, since the blasting officer went into hiding, this never happened.
On April 8, 1945, a war hospital was set up in the main building for up to 2,000 wounded, but these soon fell to around 100, after which school operations could be resumed on June 7, 1945 with 200 students. However, as the military quartermaster's office of the occupying forces confiscated the main building a short time later , teaching again proved difficult. Due to the occupied main building, theory lessons were held again in the 1945/1946 school year with over 1,000 students in the Jakob-Thoma-Hauptschule. Due to the ever increasing number of students, the lessons in the school year 1946/1947 were moved from the Jakob-Thoma-Hauptschule to the building of the Realgymnasium Franz-Keim-Gasse , where the kitchen and the dining room for the boarding students were also set up. In addition, the gymnasium of the high school served as a dormitory. After the Soviet occupiers took over the entire school area with the exception of the workshops in 1951, the HTL Mödling was divided into a total of nine locations throughout Mödling. For example, the boarding school students and parts of the electronics department in the St. Gabriel Mission House , or the chemistry laboratory in the Mödlinger Kursalon. However, this situation changed with the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1955.
By the beginning of 1959, all of the former locations, with the exception of the home in the Hinterbrühl (until 1962) and the Kursalon (until 1974), were gradually returned, and school operations were again concentrated on the original area of the HTL Mödling. Several renovation and reconstruction works followed, including:
- Renovation of the main building (1955-1960, facade renovation 1988)
- Construction of the district heating plant (operation from 1957)
- Construction of the mechanical engineering workshop (operation from 1958)
- Redesign of the school chapel (1962 and 2000)
- New construction of the student dormitory (operation from 1962, or 1968 and 1977)
- Conversion of the former riding arena into gyms (operation from 1965)
- Increase in the east wing (operation from 1966)
- Construction of the laboratory building for the wood technology department (construction 1971–1973)
- Construction of a handball court (operation from 1975)
- Construction of the laboratory building for electrical engineering / mechanical engineering (construction 1971–1976, roof structure 1998)
- Construction of the C-building (operation from 1978)
- Renovation of the sports field (1987)
- Construction of the workshop building (construction 1988–1994)
- Renovation and extension of the D building (1989–1991)
- Construction of the carpentry workshop and a new double gymnasium (operation from 2005)
- New construction of the restaurant in the east wing (2012-2013)
- Renovation of the facade of the wood technology building (2013)
- Reconstruction of the old buffet and restaurant area in the main building (2013-2014)
- Facade renovation of gymnasiums 1 to 3 (2014)
With the expansion of the school, the number of pupils also increased, so in 1960 around 1,600 pupils were taught and in the school year 1979/1980 already over 3,000.

Student home
There has been a student dormitory since the establishment of the German-Austrian technical and industrial state college in 1919. Originally housed on the 3rd floor of the main building, it had to be divided into several locations throughout Mödling during the Soviet occupation between 1951 and 1955. Today it is again on the area of the HTL Mödling and is divided into 4 different buildings:
- A house: 2nd to 5th year boys only
- B-house: fellow students
- C-House: 1st and 2nd year (boys and girls)
- Girls' home: girls from 3rd to 5th year
School newspaper
On behalf of HTL Mödling, the NÖN -HTL Mödling, a special production of the Niederösterreichische Nachrichten, is published annually . With a circulation of 70,000 it serves as an annual report and provides an overview of HTL Mödling, its departments and their projects.
In addition , the school newspaper Breitseiten, which is also published annually, has existed since 2006 (circulation number 1350), which has already been awarded 2nd place in the Lower Austrian school newspaper competition.
School events
Right from the start, the HTL Mödling site was repeatedly used for major events, such as the 5th Lower Austrian State Exhibition in 1929 , the State Conference of the Fatherland Front on April 28, 1935 (25,000–30,000 participants) or the flag and aircraft consecration on April 7th. June 1937.
Since VfB Mödling used the sports field of HTL Mödling as a venue for championship games until 1923, SK Rapid Wien was received as an opponent on August 17, 1919 , but the home team lost 0: 1.
From 1985 to 2012 there was an annual school ball at HTL Mödling. Before that, due to a lack of space, other ballrooms, such as the Brauhof in Mödling, were used. Since the 2012/2013 school year, there is only one Mödling school ball organized with other Mödling schools in the Event Pyramid Vösendorf.
At the end of the school year, the HTL summer night festival takes place on the sports field.
In the 2nd and 3rd year there is a one-week school ski course for each class, which takes place in one of the numerous ski areas in Austria or in the Polish city of Zakopane (for the first time in the 1991/1992 school year).
In addition, the HTL Mödling was the broadcast location for the program Wer A says .
