History

The first trade course in German was given by Franz Stiben in 1838. In 1873, Wiessner started another trade course also in Hungarian. In 1895 the Trade Lyceum was founded and became a state lyceum in 1899. The foundation stone of the school building was laid in 1914, but due to the war it was only built in 1925 and plastered in 1929. The school became a Romanian language school after the Romanian occupation in 1919. The mayor's office is now housed within its walls.
