Why?
Archduke Johann (1782–1859), a brother of Emperor Franz, founded the Joanneum in 1811. At his suggestion a mining school was set up in Vordernberg in 1840; it later moved to Leoben and is today the Montanuniversität (University of Leoben). The University of Graz is much older (1585), and the steirischer herbst began only in 1968.

Every question was answered a second time, independently, and checked against public sources. The English translation and the explanations were made with AI; in the exam the questions are asked in German. Not an official service: no connection with the Federal Ministry of the Interior or the offices of the state governments.
