Peter Rosegger Life

Peter Rosegger (original Roßegger) (31 July 1843–26 June 1918), an Austrian writer and poet from Krieglach's province of Styria, was a writer and poet.

He was the son of a mountain farmer and grew up in the Alpl's woods and mountains.

Rosegger (or Rossegger) went on to become both a prolific poet and author as well as an insightful educator and visionary. He was honoured by representatives from many Austrian universities and Graz (the capital of Styria).

Three times he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

He was almost given the Nobel Prize in 1913 and is (at least among the people of Styria) a national treasure to this day.

Early life

Rosegger was born in the mountains above Krieglach, Styria, as the first of seven children of a poor couple in Alpl. The family lived in a simple 18th-century Alpine farmhouse named Kluppeneggerhof. The central room was used for eating, sleeping, and working, according to the living conditions. Scullery's hearth was preparing food for the first time. The farmhouse is now part of the Universalmuseum Joanneum, but the building ensemble can only be reached by foot.

Since this little village, which was made up of just a handful of farms, was without a church nor a school, Rosegger and the other children would have to walk down the mountain to the larger village, St. Katharin, in order to attend either. Peter had limited education as a result, mainly because of a wandering teacher who taught him and other children from the area for a year and a half. His physical constitution was not strong enough for him to be a farmer like his father, as he was often sick and rather frail in general. So, he was under the care of a traveling tailor at the age of seventeen.

Character and private life

Anna Pichler married Rosegger in 1873. They had two children, but the marriage was short - Anna died 1880 after giving birth to the first child. Peter was affected by the numerous letters he wrote to friends at the time, as is evident from the various letters he wrote to them. Anna Knaur, with whom he had three more children and a very happy household life in 1879, married Rosegger once more. During his numerous bouts of sickness, she also cared for him.

He generated a number of innovative and unexpected thoughts from his time in the context of his age, as well as regular interactions with eccentric individuals. Rudolf Falb, the author of the famous "lunisolar flood theory," wasn't only his school teacher, but he remained a lifelong friend. Despite being strongly attached to his rural roots, he was a liberal thinker with conservative roots. He was captivated by computers and technology, as well as being a faithful Christian, and he kept an eye on the futures and benefits as well as the risks and disadvantages of both the church and early 19th century economic growth. As an author, he wanted to entertain, teach, and then to help. He called for donations in a public setting or in academic circles, thus contributing to the establishment of one school (in Alpl, his home village), the construction of two churches (one in Mürzzuschlag and one in St. Katharine, rebuilt after it burned down), and other charitable activities.

Late life and death

Rosegger, who had been sick and ill, returned to Krieglach in May 1918 in order to die where "the glorious legend of the forest-farmer boy" had once begun in the Styrian Alps' woodlands.

His birth house, the former "Forest School" (Waldschule), was he helped to find in Alpl in 1902, and his home in Krieglach, where he lived until his death in 1918, is on display today. Since the name he gave it to him (the mountains of the Fischbacher Alps south of Krieglach and Mürzzuschlag) he came from, the area where he came from (the mountains of the Fischbacher Alps south of Krieglach and Mürzzuschlag) has been renamed "Waldheimat" ("Home in the Forest." The tourism industry in the area also benefits from Rosegger's enduring success among readers.
