Life

Hans Haid was an employee, made 1963 the Externisten- Matura and then earned a degree in folklore and art history at the University of Vienna , which he in 1974 with the promotion of Dr. phil. completed. He wrote his dissertation on the customs in the Ötztal and its tourism-related changes.

He last lived in Heiligkreuz in the Venter Valley near Sölden , on the farm "Roale" at an altitude of 1680 m. Haid was one of the best known and most controversial personalities in the Ötztal.

Act

Thanks to Hans Haid, the Ötztal dialect was recognized and used as a medium of literary design. At his request, it was included in the register of intangible cultural heritage in Austria in 2010 .

He published dialect poems, radio plays and novels for many decades. A central theme of his literary work was the influence of the Alpine region through the excesses of mass tourism . Peter Turrini called Haid "Alpen- Abraham-a-Sancta-Clara " because of his criticism of the sell-off and destruction of his homeland . Among other things, Haid's criticism was also reflected in his radio play, produced by ORF in 2008 , You don't fill beds with tears . Haid was also the author and editor of numerous illustrated books and folklore books on old customs and on new forms of economy and life in the Alps.

In addition to his literary work, he was the founder and initiator of several associations and organizations, such as the Ötztaler Heimatverein and Freilichtmuseum (1964), Internationales Dialektinstitut (1976), Arge Region Kultur (1985), Pro Vita Alpina (an amalgamation of alpine initiatives from Slovenia to Savoy, 1989) and since 1995 developer of EU projects (LEADER, Interreg I and II), Verein sall wöll ( daswohl ).
