Franz Tschischka

Franz Tschischka (also: Žiška, Ziska; born November 18, 1786 in Vienna ; † November 15, 1855 ibid) was an Austrian cultural historian and folk song collector. From 1832 at the latest, he only published under the name Tschischka .

life and work

Tschischka attended the Josefstädter Gymnasium and entered the office of the City of Vienna in 1804 . In 1811 he received tax-free citizenship of the city of Vienna.

Inspired by the Brothers Grimm , Johann Gustav Gottlieb Büsching , Friedrich Heinrich von der Hagen and Bernhard Joseph Docen , he dealt with German language research. With Julius Maximilian Schottky , he went on a research trip in 1817/18 to collect Austrian folk songs and fairy tales . The folk song collection published by Tschischka and Schottky in 1819, which Leopold Schmidt described as the “crown jewel of our folk song collection” in 1967 , had a lasting effect. She was able to motivate several contemporary writers and musicians, including Ludwig van Beethoven , Ignaz Franz Castelli , Anton Diabelli and Johann Gabriel Seidl , to also turn to oral tradition. In 1822 Tschischka presented his collection of Austrian folk tales. This was followed by publications on St. Stephen's Cathedral and the history of Vienna.

In 1828 Tschischka became director of the Vienna City Archives . From 1832 to 1834 Tschischka edited the articles on regional studies of Austria under the Enns, in which he himself published various works on dialect studies. In 1847, the year he retired, he published his history of the city of Vienna .
