This is a collection of modern LaTeX classes, style files and example documents for authoring Bachelor, Master or Diploma theses and related academic manuscripts in English and German. Pre-configured documents for English and German are available, easy to use even for LaTeX beginners and compatible with LaTeX distributions for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The document classes are immediately usable and easy to customize.
The main document 'HgbThesisTutorial' serves both as a template and tutorial for authoring a Bachelor, Master or Diploma thesis with LaTeX. Originally developed as an internal standard at the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences at Hagenberg, this setup has become popular at several other (mostly German-speaking) institutions over the last years.
This site is the main repository for the hagenberg-thesis package, which is also available on CTAN and shared by popular package repositories such as MikTeX and TexLive. Note that the most recent versions are always found here, while only periodic releases are submitted to CTAN.

Each sample document is based on a custom LaTeX document class (e.g., hgbthesis.cls) and various style files (hgb.sty, ...). The style files can also be used independently for other kinds of documents.
