Ledersprung
The academic "Ledersprung" is THE couleur student event of the academic year in Leoben. It is known far beyond Leoben's borders and therefore attracts many visitors to our beautiful mining town every year. The Ledersprung is the traditional rite of passage into the mining profession or its "related" professions.
Bergkittel and Biberstollen
The two most important, traditional items of clothing are the Bergkittel (miner's scmock) and the Biberstollen.
The Bierauszug
The "Bierauszug" (beer procession) is the final traditional event of the academic year in Leoben. It always takes place at the end of June, close to the last academic ceremony.
Philistration
Upon completion of their studies, corporate students enter the status of "Old Lords", also known as philistinism. This transition takes place at the ceremonial philistration, which is also celebrated by non-corporates.
LEOBEN'S CORPORATIONS
In Leoben there are twelve bonds, called corporations, at the university level.
It is advantageous to know the fraternities in Leoben, because they still contribute a large part to the active life of the montanistic traditions in Leoben.
