School club house in Vienna, the seat of the Austrian Landsmannschaft

The Österreichische Landsmannschaft (ÖLM) is an Austrian association of expellees and is the successor to the " German School Association " (DSchV), which was dissolved in 1938 and which promoted the German ethnic groups in the crown lands of the former Austrian half of the empire by building schools. The headquarters of the ÖLM is in Vienna .

history

The ÖLM was founded on March 13, 1952 as the “Community of Non-Displaced Austrians for those Displaced from Home ”. Since 1953, their association magazine, the Eckartbote , has been published monthly , renamed Der Eckart in June 2002 . As with the previous paper of the school association, the name giver is the guardian and warner of the German hero saga, the "loyal Eckart" and not the National Socialist lyricist Dietrich Eckart . Since 1956, the "Südpress" has appeared quarterly as a supplement to the Eckartbote, as has "Thayawarte" as a supplement. Since 1958 the "Eckartschriften" have also been published quarterly .

In 1955 the DSchV was re-established as a traditional association of the ÖLM, but did not resume the old activities; these went to the ÖLM. Since January 25, 1958, the Österreichische Landsmannschaft has been working with the General German Cultural Association , founded in 1957 by Mirko Jelusich , which had taken on the care of German minorities overseas.

In 1984, through numerous donations, the ÖLM was able to acquire the old school club house in Fuhrmannsgasse in Vienna, donated by the Moravian industrialist and patron Robert Primavesi , and move into numerous rooms there.

Today the ÖLM is networked with "protective associations" in various countries and is part of the Association for German Cultural Relations Abroad (VDA).

Working group for culture and history

The Austrian Working Group for Culture and History was a preliminary organization of the ÖLM . This gave in 1998 with Engleutsch? No thanks! a language-critical publication from the environment of the association's mother tongue . Thomas Paulwitz and Stefan Micko worked on the second edition of this book ; the first edition sold around 33,000 times.

criticism

The Documentation Archive of the Austrian Resistance (DÖW) describes the Österreichische Landsmannschaft as a " right-wing extremist organization with an ostensibly humanitarian orientation, which is particularly active in the field of journalism and, due to its ideological-cultural activity, fulfills an important integrative function for the German national and right-wing extremist camp." According to DÖW, there is a close personal and organizational link between the ÖLM and the FPÖ and other right-wing organizations.

School club house

The school club house in Fuhrmannsgasse 18 / 18a was built in 1914 by the German school club. The Österreichische Landsmannschaft is the owner of the school club house and rents rooms to national and right-wing extremist student associations, including the Moldavia fraternity and the Freya girls' association, as well as a Catholic student association.
