Alois Bergmann (born February 8, 1903 in Staab , † October 13, 1982 in Nittenau ) was a German homeland researcher of the Egerland and a full-time high school teacher.

Life

After graduating from high school in Mies, Bergmann began studying at the Tetschen Liebwerd Agricultural University , but then moved to the Charles University in Prague , where he studied geography, geology, mineralogy, German, history, folklore and Slavic languages, among other things. From 1925 he worked as a doctoral high school professor at several high schools and came to Bavaria as a displaced person after the Second World War , where he first taught in Bad Tölz and then until his retirement at the Regental High School in Nittenau.

In 1927 Bergmann founded a museum in his birthplace. Among other things, he was editor of the Pilsner Kreis , the Sudeten German Folk Books and the Regenkreis . In 1950 he was a co-founder of Eghalanda Gmoin and from 1950 deputy federal chairman of the association. At the same time he was head of the Bavarian regional association of Eghalanda Gmoin from 1950 to 1975 . Bergmann founded the Egerland publishing house and had already founded the Egerland-Heimatland magazine in 1949 , which then became the tribal magazine Der Egerländer . There he also worked as an editor . He was involved in setting up the Egerland Museum in the Regensburg Historical Museum in 1951, the collection of which was transferred to today's Egerland Museum in the Egerland Culture House in 1972 . He planned another Egerland museum in Würzburg. Ultimately, this second Egerland collection was presented for the first time in 1955 in the New Bayreuth Palace , then moved to the Alte Münze and ultimately also merged into the collection in the Egerland cultural center. Together with the district home keeper of the Upper Palatinate, he worked on setting up a scientific library and, as chairman of the Museum Association Nittenau and the surrounding area, was involved in the development of the Nittenau City Museum.
