The Alpine Club Austria is a Viennese section of the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖAV). This section is the founding cell and at the same time the oldest section of all alpine clubs on the European mainland.
history
The ÖAV was founded in 1862 around the Vienna section Austria as the first mountaineering association on the European mainland and thus the second oldest in the world after the British Alpine Club by Paul Grohmann , Friedrich Simony and Edmund von Mojsisovics . In 1873 there was a merger with the German Alpine Association to form the German and Austrian Alpine Association (DuÖAV) and the federal division into sections. From the then OeAV, together with the Vienna section of the DAV, the Austria section of the DuOe.AV emerged
During the interwar period, the section was nationalist and anti-Semitic . Eduard Pichl , the chairman of the Austria section , enforced the Aryan paragraph in the section in 1921 , which promoted the establishment of the Donauland section , partly through excluded members of Austria .
