The Werkschulheim Felbertal is a vocational school at the federal state Salzburg, in Austria. There are about 340 students. The area from the school is 5,5 hectare tall. Every year there are about 30 graduates.History and concept
The Werkschulheim Felbertal was founded in 1951 as a boarding school in Mittersill. Headmaster until 1958 and founder was Alexej Stachowitsch. In 1964 the school resettled to Ebenau in Salzburg.
In August 1951 the 7th World Scout Jamboree took place in Bad Ischl. In previous years, the idea of founding a school in Berchtesgaden had circulated among the Scouting community. One month later the foundation stone for the Werkschulheim was laid in the :de:Felbertal near Mittersill in the Salzburg Pinzgau region.
From the beginning, the aim of the school was to combine secondary education with craftsmanship, so that each graduate received a matriculation certificate and a journeyman's certificate. Scouting ideas such as the patrol as a unit and out-of-school learning in project and experience weeks are still being carried out today.
In the Werkschulheim, the original Lagertor of the World Jamboree in Bad Ischl stands as a monument from the founding year 1951. In addition, the Werkschulheim has its own Scout group, which regularly meets there.
