History

• The institution began in 1811 as the Joanneum, a scientific and educational foundation created in Graz by Archduke John of Austria, intended to spread scientific and technical knowledge in the province of Styria, where the first subjects taught were physics, chemistry, astronomy, mineralogy, botany and technology.该校的前身（Joanneum）于 1811 年由奥地利大公约翰在格拉茨创办，是一所旨在施蒂里亚州传播科学与技术知识的科研与教育机构，最初开设的课程包括物理学、化学、天文学、矿物学、植物学与技术学。

• In 1812 Friedrich Mohs became the first professor of mineralogy, and the hardness scale that carries his name is still used to describe minerals today.1812 年，弗里德里希·莫斯成为该校首位矿物学教授，以其姓氏命名的矿物硬度标度至今仍用于描述矿物的硬度。

• In 1864 the provincial government of Styria turned the institution into the Joanneum Regional and Technical College, giving it a formal role in the technical education of the province.1864 年，施蒂里亚州政府将该机构改为（Joanneum）地区与理工学院，使其在本省的技术教育中承担正式职能。

• In 1874 the Austrian government took over the college and renamed it the Imperial-Royal College of Technology in Graz, placing it under direct state administration.1874 年，奥地利政府接管该校，并将其更名为格拉茨帝国—皇家理工学院，纳入国家直接管理之下。

• In 1888 Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria opened the Main Building of the college, known today as the Old Technik, which still forms the historic heart of the university in the inner city.1888 年，奥地利皇帝弗朗茨·约瑟夫一世为学院的主楼揭幕，该楼即今日的（Old Technik），至今仍是该校内城的历史核心建筑。

• In 1901 the Technical College was granted the right to award doctorates, a status that placed it among the leading technical institutions of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.1901 年，该理工学院获得授予博士学位的资格，跻身奥匈帝国最顶尖的技术院校之列。

• In 1955 the Technical College was divided into three faculties, the first step in the modern reorganisation of the institution into subject-based units.1955 年，该理工学院拆分为三个学院，这是该校按学科划分院系的现代化重组的第一步。

• In 1976 it was divided into five faculties and renamed Graz University of Technology, Archduke-Johann-University, honouring its founder in its official title.1976 年，该校拆分为五个学院，并更名为格拉茨技术大学（Archduke-Johann-University），在正式校名中纪念其创办人。

• The foundation combined a museum and a library with its teaching, and this dual character as a collection and a school shaped the early identity of the institution before it gradually became a dedicated technical college.该机构把博物馆与图书馆同教学结合在一起，这种兼具收藏与教育的双重性质塑造了它早期的身份，直至它逐渐演变为一所专门的技术学院。

• In the twentieth century the college grew into one of Austria's two universities of technology, the other being the Vienna University of Technology, with which it now forms the TU Austria network.20 世纪，该校成长为奥地利两所技术大学之一，另一所是维也纳技术大学，如今两校共同组成（TU Austria）网络。
