Life
Lerperger, who came from a forester family, studied philosophy and theology in Salzburg . During the Third Reich he was able to flee from the Gestapo on his way to the execution and hide in the forests of the Salzburg region. After the Second World War he worked at the tourism academy in Kleßheim and lived in Salzburg. In 1954 his first volume of poetry was self-published. The themes of his poetry, which is reminiscent of Georg Trakl , are again and again loneliness and apocalypse.
