Higher Technical Institutes (HTL), and Engineering Schools, known as Technikum in German, were tertiary-level educational institutions for demanding technical professions. In the course of technological and industrial progress, the first Technikum in Switzerland was founded in Winterthur in 1874 to meet the growing demand for skilled workers with a solid technical education.

The programmes of the Technikum Winterthur include lesson plans, lists of students and teachers, records of gifts received and supplementary literature on technical subjects. The content and titles of the programmes vary over time. Overall, the programmes serve as annual reports on the school's activities.
