Real hands-on work instead of just watching
With us, you don't just watch your colleagues over their shoulders. Under safe guidance, you get to pick up tools yourself, inspect components or understand circuits.
Whether it is a compulsory school internship or orientation after school: at L&S Luddeneit und Scherf in Neustadt an der Orla you are right in the middle of things. You get a taste of mechanics, electronics and warehouse logistics and find out which job suits you.

An internship at L&S is not about dully passing the time. We take you seriously from day one and show you how modern special machinery manufacturing works in practice.
With us, you don't just watch your colleagues over their shoulders. Under safe guidance, you get to pick up tools yourself, inspect components or understand circuits.
Not sure yet whether mechanics, electronics or warehouse logistics suits you best? During the internship you get to know all three areas and can then decide more easily what comes next.
A good internship is a real plus for a subsequent apprenticeship with us. If we are a good fit, we are happy to talk about an apprenticeship place at L&S.
Your working hours during the internship are regular: you work the day shift and have the weekend off.
You are a fully-fledged part of the team. During breaks, free hot drinks and water are available to you in our break room.
During the internship you get a taste of all three areas of our production – no need to decide in advance.
You learn how to read technical drawings, work on metal yourself and see how assemblies weighing several tonnes are put together for our special machines.
You take a look at how highly complex control cabinets are wired, how electrical measurements are carried out and how hardware and software interact in mechanical engineering.
You see how materials and components are received, checked, stored and made ready for production – without the warehouse, assembly comes to a standstill.
You are still at school (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium) or have just finished school and are looking for orientation – you are exactly right.
You are interested in technology, big machines, electronics or manual work.
You are curious, keen to ask questions and to contribute reliably as part of a team – that counts more than grades with us.
Punctuality and reliability go without saying for you – so that you and the team benefit from each other to the fullest.
Many of our apprentices did an internship with us first. The fastest route to an apprenticeship often runs through our production hall.
At L&S Luddeneit und Scherf in Neustadt an der Orla, almost 70 employees work hand in hand. We build special machines weighing up to 84 tonnes for rail infrastructure. Within the company, we live by flat hierarchies, short decision-making paths and honest interaction as equals. With us, everyone – from the intern to the boss – is on first-name terms.

Swap theory for a few days of real practice in special machine building. Just email ausbildung@l-und-s.de or call +49 36481 56450 – no cover letter, certificates or CV needed.
Email ausbildung@l-und-s.deThat depends entirely on you and your school! Typical school internships usually last 1 to 2 weeks. A voluntary orientation internship can be arranged flexibly with us. If you want to earn money during the holidays, you can do holiday work with us from the age of 15.
For the production areas you need sturdy, closed shoes and hard-wearing clothing. We provide the special safety equipment (high-visibility vests, ear protection) free of charge on site, of course.
Yes, absolutely! Especially for prospective students of electrical engineering or mechanical engineering, an orientation internship with us offers a good opportunity to get to know real-world practice before heading into the lecture hall.
