The Werkschulheim Felbertal was founded in 1951 as a boarding school near Mittersill, Austria. The founder and headmaster until 1958 was Alexej Stachowitsch. In 1964 the school moved to Ebenau, 10 km east of 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 (Germany) had circulated among the Scouting community. One month later, the foundation stone for the Werkschulheim was laid in Felbertal (6 km south of 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 ("camp gateway") 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.
