Goetheschule, Volksschule und HTL Bau und Design

Goetheschule is a school complex in Linz housing both primary education and a technical institute focused on construction and design training. The building contains multiple departments where students study different construction trades, engineering, and creative design fields.

The building was designed in 1891 by architect Michael Lettmayr and then significantly expanded between 1940 and 1943 under architects Sturmberger and Maier. These renovations transformed the school complex into its present form.

The school is named after the famous German writer Goethe, reflecting the value placed on education and learning in Austrian society. It serves today as a place where young people develop practical skills in construction and design.

The school complex is a large protected historic building that is active during school hours with students and staff. Visitors should know that the grounds are an active educational institution and can only be accessed at certain times or with special permission.

The distinctive U-shaped structure displays late historicist and neo-renaissance elements visible in its exterior design. An abstract stone sculpture by artist Alfred Hager sits in the courtyard, adding an artistic feature to the campus.
