Deutschzentrum Wien

Deutschzentrum Wien, also known as German Center Vienna, teaches German at Capistrangasse 10 in the sixth district. The school opened in 2009 and has two classrooms plus a student lounge. The centre combines classroom teaching with its online learning platform, so a student can continue working on the material between visits to the school.

Classroom study and independent practice

In-person German courses are offered at levels A1 through B2. Students can choose a standard timetable, a more intensive schedule or a course organised over a semester. The standard programme breaks a level into shorter blocks. That structure is useful to someone returning to German after a break, who may be ready for the second part of a level while still needing practice with certain topics from the first.

The beginner programme combines lessons in the classroom with work on the school’s platform. Learners can also use practice ÖSD examinations to see where they need more work. The formal exam is arranged separately through examination centres. A student with a deadline can therefore plan the course and the test date together, while someone learning for everyday life can use the practice tasks as a way of tracking progress.
