100 years of Eisenstadt trading school: a milestone in the history of education
In a historically significant moment, the 100th anniversary was celebrated on Thursday in the Eisenstadt trade school. This great occasion was celebrated with a festive act that was visited by numerous prominent guests from politics and education. As the most traditional commercial school in Burgenland, the Federal Trade School (BHAS) has made a significant contribution to the training of young specialists.
With over 600 pupils and more than 60 teachers , BHAs is one of the largest school institutions in the field of commercial training in Austria. For the school year 2024/25, two final classes with a total of 54 graduates are offered in the commercial school. These services underline the importance of the school for the regional economy and education.
prominent guests honor the performance of the school
One of the speakers at the anniversary celebration, Bildungslandesrätter Daniela Winkler , spoke about the sustainable influence of the school on the development of the educational landscape in Burgenland. She recalled that after the state was founded in 1921, the school system had to be rebuilt. Investments in schools such as the Eisenstadt trade school have made a decisive contribution to economic recovery in the region.
also President Robert Hergovich in his speech looked back on the success of the school and found that its development also reflected the growth of the region. Minister of Education Martin Polaschek added that a century of education in Eisenstadt was a sign of durability and the efforts of everyone involved.
insight into the historical processing
A special part of the anniversary was the focus on the historical processing of the school's National Socialism period. A memorial work of the artist Tobias Hermeling was presented, which not only reflects the history of the school, but also addresses the painful memories of the repressed past. The processing happened in the form of an oral history project that dealt with the experiences of former students and teachers.
The commercial school was founded in 1924, which made it the first commercial school in Burgenland. In the course of its history, the school experienced numerous changes. From 1938 to 1945 she was under National Socialist control and was severely restricted during this time. Many Jewish students could not complete their training, and teachers were also forced to leave school.
With this solemn event, not only an important milestone in the education sector was recognized, but also an important step in the processing of the history of the Eisenstadt trade school. The school remains a central part of the Burgenland educational landscape and continues its tradition of high -quality commercial training.
