history
In 1891 the traditional costume association “Alpinia”, which still exists today, was founded in Salzburg as the first Austrian traditional costume association. An indication of the former Bavarian influence is that this club belongs not only to the National Association Salzburg, but also a member of the Bavarian district federation I is. In 1908 the 1st Reich Association of Trachtenvereine was founded in Salzburg. After the Second World War, on May 25, 1947, the “Working Group of the Regional Associations of Austrian Costume Associations” was founded. The founding chairman was Hans Schwarzlmüller. In 1960 the name was changed to “Federation of Austrian Trachten- und Heimatverband”. President is Rupert Klein.
