!!!Evangelisches Schulwesen

Protestant Schools: after the  Edict of Tolerance, not only houses of 
worship but also schools were established, mostly for low-level 
education. The Imperial Law for Elementary Schools caused the 
religious communities to put their schools under public sponsorship. 
The years after 1934 brought an upswing (Gymnasium-type schools in 
Vienna and Graz and a Hauptschule in Wels were established). This 
period ended in 1938, when the Protestant schools (66 elementary 
schools with 101 classes, 1 Gymnasium school, 1 teacher training 
institution) of Burgenland (since 1921 part of Austria) were 
dissolved. In 1946 the Church accepted the introduction of public 
schools with religious instruction. Denominational schools developed 
only on a modest scale: elementary schools and Hauptschule schools 
(10-14 years) in Vienna, Gymnasium schools in Oberschuetzen and 
vocational schools, especially for the training for ecclesiastical and 
welfare professions.
