Bertl Petrei (born November 17, 1919 in Bleiburg , † 2004) was an Austrian journalist.

Life

Bertl Petrei grew up with his grandparents. He attended a humanistic grammar school in Vienna. During World War II he was air-raid teachers and the Carinthian Grenzruf and HJ - press office in Klagenfurt busy. 1944-45 he did interpreting as a soldier in Italy (he was restricted from birth by a missing left forearm). After being a prisoner of war in England, he studied newspaper science, German and folklore at the University of Vienna . After completing his studies, he worked as a freelancer for various German broadcasters. He worked full-time at ORF from 1952 to 1979 , initially as a reporter, then division manager for folk culture in Carinthia, Lower Austria and Burgenland, until 1970 as director of the ORF regional studio Burgenland , then as general coordinator for folk culture of the ORF for radio and television.

Petrei was involved in the restoration and furnishing of the Alpl Forest School Museum in Krieglach . For his publications he founded the self- publishing house Dr. Bertl Petrei , in which he edited 39 publications by different authors from 1962 to 1999. This also includes a nine-part series entitled The Most Beautiful Folk Books , in which, in addition to Storm and Anzengruber, regional contemporary authors, some of whom are very little known, appeared. In addition, some of his books were published by Heyn and Hermagoras .

Petrei was criticized for his romanticizing memories of the annexation of Austria to Hitler's Germany in Carinthia in the Carinthian Borderland Yearbook 1989 of the FPÖ under Jörg Haider .
