Franz Stelzhamer (born November 29, 1802 in Großpiesenham , Upper Austria , † July 14, 1874 in Henndorf am Wallersee ) was an Austrian poet and novelist .

Live and act

As the son of a small farmer, he attended the academic high school in Salzburg and then studied law in Graz and Vienna , but did not graduate. Until 1824 he led an unsteady wandering life as an actor , lecturer and writer . In 1837 he had his breakthrough with the songs in Obderenns'scher vernacular . Stelzhamer worked as a journalist in Vienna, Upper Austria, Salzburg and Germany until 1842 . The state of Upper Austria enabled him to live a secure life with an honorary salary .

Stelzhamer is considered to be the most important representative of Upper Austrian dialect poetry in the rural-peasant milieu , whereas his High German writings are hardly noticed today.

Stelzhamer is the lyricist of the Upper Austrian national anthem , the Hoamatgsang .

anti-Semitism

Especially the chapter “Jude” in his self-published text Das Bunte Buch in 1852 is criticized by Germanists such as Ludwig Laher and Armin Eidherr as a text interspersed with anti-Semitic tirades.

Commemoration

The Stelzhamer Bund was founded in Vienna in 1882 . In 1900 Hermann Bahr's play Der Franzl appeared , which tells the life of Franz Stelzhamer in five pictures.

In 1907 the Stelzhamergasse in Vienna- Landstrasse (3rd district) was named after him.

In 1952, the state of Upper Austria donated the Stelzhamer badge , which is bestowed for “services to Upper Austria's dialect and folk culture”.

On January 6, 2003 the asteroid (24916) Stelzhamer was named after him.

Since 2009 the Kulturhaus Stelzhamermuseum Pramet has been giving an insight into the life and work of the poet through a permanent exhibition. The “Muadástüberl” and its furniture can be viewed.
