Schwäbische Bauernschule, Agricultural education center in Bad Waldsee, Germany
Schwäbische Bauernschule is the educational centre of the Baden-Württemberg farmers' association in Bad Waldsee, made up of three buildings. It has 79 beds in 35 single and 22 double rooms, a hall with foyer, three seminar rooms, a workshop, recreation rooms and a dining hall. A new guesthouse was inaugurated on 30 October 2010.
Bernhard Bauknecht founded the school in December 1949 as one of southern Germany's earliest agricultural training institutions. After its opening, it developed into an important center for professional education and exchange between farming communities and related sectors.
The name refers to Swabia, the region the school has served since its founding. Its cultural programme covers music and the arts, fostering creativity and openness, while general-education events bring together people who would not otherwise meet in working life. The Waldseer Liederbuch, a songbook, was published by the school.
The school occupies three buildings with 79 beds in 35 single and 22 double rooms, a hall with foyer, three seminar rooms, a workshop, recreation rooms and a dining hall. It also serves as a conference venue for the Landesbauernverband, the Landfrauenverbände, the Maschinenringe and the Oberlandesgericht Baden-Württemberg, among others.
The school has been a recognised training centre for the occupations Hauswirtschafter, Hauswirtschaftshelfer and Fachpraktiker Hauswirtschaft, as certified by the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen. It also hosts preparation courses for the Meisterprüfung in the Beruf Landwirt and Lehrgänge for the Meister der Hauswirtschaft.
