Borut Marjan Sturm (* 13 December 1951 in Klagenfurt ) is an Austrian historian and ethnic group representatives of the Carinthian Slovenes . From 1992 to February 23, 2019 he was chairman of the Central Association of Slovenian Organizations in Carinthia (ZSO) and chairman of the advisory board for the Slovenian ethnic group in the Federal Chancellery.

Life

Sturm comes from a respected Slovenian family from the Magdalensberg community (old community St. Thomas am Zeiselberg) from a largely Slovenian / bilingual environment at that time. The family was expropriated on April 14, 1942 because of their ethnic origin and their social and economic position and deported to forced labor . This collective and family trauma and the resistance to it as well as the commitment to human dignity should shape his life.

In 1980 he wrote his dissertation on the internal development of the Slovenian resistance movement Osvobodilna fronta (OF) at the University of Vienna.

From 1981 to 1983 he worked at the Slovenian Science Institute (Slovenski znanstveni inštitut v Celovcu) in Klagenfurt / Celovec, from 1983 to 1985 its secretary.

From January 1992 he was initially secretary and then chairman of the Central Association of Slovenian Organizations in Carinthia (Zveza slovenskih organizacij na Koroškem, ZSO) until February 23, 2019 .

Political activity

As chairman of the Slovenian Youth Association (Zveza slovenske mladine) he added the Slovenian name to a place- name sign in Hermagor on the night of October 26, 1970 , which marked the beginning of a new, more active movement for the implementation of the Austrian State Treaty of May 15, 1955 documented fundamental rights and freedoms or human rights. In the following process, which was heavily followed in the media and in public (this had to be moved to Leoben), he was acquitted.

As a result, Marjan Sturm became a co-initiator of the solidarity movement for the rights of the Carinthian Slovenes in the 1970s. As such, he was and is active in numerous Austrian and supraregional associations that promote ethnic groups and intercultural dialogue.

Marjan Sturm is the author of numerous articles and in 2007 co-author of a milestone in the Carinthian Dialogue: Rethinking Carinthia ...

For his efforts to find a compromise solution in the street sign dispute , he received the Great Silver Medal of Honor in 2012 for services to the Republic of Austria.
