New school campus in Deutschlandsberg: Independent HTL for the future

The educational landscape in Germany is faced with significant change. On Friday, the Ministry of Education announced that Deutschlandsberg will receive an independent higher technical educational institution (HTL). The new school will offer two disciplines: industrial engineering as well as IT and digitization. With the start in the school year 2026/27, a new educational path for young people in the region is opened.

A remarkable aspect of this project is the extensive investment of around 100 million euros in the school campus in Deutschlandsberg. According to the state of Styria, this investment volume should enable the students to provide future -oriented and wide -ranging training. This happens to meet the requirements of a constantly developing world of work.

strengthening through independence

So far, the HTL in Deutschlandsberg was attached to the HTL Bulme in Graz-Gösting. With the independence of the HTL, not only the training quality is improved, but also strengthened the connection to the local economy. Minister of Education Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) emphasized at the presentation that this measure will promote the development of the region.

With the upcoming construction of the Koralbahn, the economic development of the region is expected to continue driving. Education Councilor Werner Amon (ÖVP) was optimistic: "It is all the more important that we also train the specialists of tomorrow with us and thus also keep it in the district."

The decision for these comprehensive measures is not only motivated by increasing number of students. The need to expand the educational offer in the area of IT and digitization in Austria is also considered an important reason. The step to the independent HTL in Deutschlandsberg shows how important it is to enable young people to have good training in promising areas in order to meet the requirements of the labor market.
