Words of the Commandant
Welcome to the homepage of the Theresan Military Academy!
Experience the uniqueness of this educational institution for all officers of the Austrian Armed Forces. Our officer trainees study differently! With our modern training support, we want to enable career and reserve officers to continue their education and training in a modern way.
We are constantly developing our training further with future-oriented research.
The history of our "castle" as well as the lived tradition represent a "third mission" for us.
Numerous co-operations and learning from our graduates (Association Alt-Neustadt) complete our mission in the present time.
Thank you very much for your interest in the Theresian Military Academy!
Karl Pronhagl, MG
