municipal ,,Technikum® (technical school) in Limbach, with depart- 
nents of mechanical engineering, electro-technology, and architecture, 
and with 140 pupils; the ,, Technikum® in Mittweida, with 1840 
pupils in 1902/03; that of Hainichen, with 230 pupils in 1902/03; the 
School of Engineering in Zwickau, with 209 scholars; the three last 
mentioned are private institutions, and with them are also connected 
professional courses of a less advanced kind. 
Similar municipal or private institutions, which call themselves 
Technikum®, many with only a two years’ course, are found also in 
several other Federal States, to the number of thirteen altogether. To 
these must be added the government ,Technikum® in Bremen, con- 
sisting of a higher school of mechanical engineering, of one of ship- 
huilding, of a School of marine mechanical engineering, and of a 
building-trade school; that is to say a combination of higher and lower 
courses. Next, the government , Technikum“ in Hamburg, con- 
taining a higher school of mechanical engineering, one of marine 
mechanical engineering, one of shipbuilding, and one of electro- 
technology. 
Further are to be mentioned among ‘the establishments with 
several departments, the municipal higher Technical Institute in 
Cothen, for mechanical engineering, electro-technology, and technical 
chemistry; and the government Technical School in Strassburg, 
with a higher school of technical engineering and a building-trade 
school. Private institutions of this kind are also found in Baden, at 
Mannheim, with a ‘subsidy from the town. and in Hesse. at 
Friedberg. 
In Bavaria the Industrial Schools® in Munich, Nirnberg, 
Augsburg, and Kaiserslautern, form a special type of higher technical 
educational institutions. They form a continuation to the Realschulen 
with six classes, and during the first two years of the course, they 
mpart instruction in which the general subjects predominate, after 
che manner of the Prussian Higher Realschulen, whereas for the 
-echnical subjects properly so called, they afford only a preparation. 
At the close of the second year a final examination is held, by 
passing which the pupil is entitled to enter the Technical High 
School. Those who do not proceed to the High School can take the 
‘hird year’s course, with its mechanical-technical, chemical-technical, 
architectural, and, in Munich also, its commercial department. The 
schools are government institutions. The number of pupils in 1902.03 
«as 712. the total expenditure amounted to 431000 M.
