Franz Young
Franz Junge (born November 26, 1882 in Klausen , † December 14, 1934 in Brixen ) was an Austrian and South Tyrolean writer .
Life
Junge was the son of the kk mountain manager Michael Junge, who came from Böckelstein in the Salzburg region and worked as a mining clerk on the Schneeberg and then in Klausen . He was born in the village of Frag in Eisack Valley , which at that time belonged to the municipality of Villanders and was incorporated into Klausen in 1929. He attended the humanistic grammar school in Brixen and studied from 1903 at the University of Innsbruck , where he completed his German studies with a teaching examination. However , he never submitted his lost dissertation on German craft songs in Tyrol .
After taking on a teaching post at the German Gymnasium in Trento , in 1914, in the course of general mobilization, Junge was drafted into the Austrian army and suffered a serious leg injury in one of the first Isonzo battles, which resulted in him being withdrawn to the Vienna War Archives .
After the end of the war, Junge moved from Vienna back to South Tyrol, first to Brixen and then as head of a tobacco shop in Merano . Here he founded the South Tyrolean regional journal “ Der Schlern ” together with his companion Ludwig March , which soon earned him the nickname “Schlernvater”. In addition to being the editor and editor of the magazine, in which he often published under the pseudonym M. Perlunger , Junge was best known for the "Gullibuch", in which he humorously processed the experiences of his high school days with Alfons Quellacasa .
Junge died in 1934 of the long-term effects of his war injury. Until the 1960s there was a cross on Junger's grave in the municipal cemetery of Bressanone with the Latin epitaph : Hic jacent pulvis et umbra Francisci Junger-Perlunger, conditoris, editoris, directoris monumenti patrii DER SCHLERN, natus Villandriae the 26. XI. 1881, mortuus Brixinae the 14th XII. 1934 .
