Life

Josef Vinzenz Großauer traveled from place to place with his parents at a young age and got to know his home country at an early age. He attended elementary school in Waldneukirchen for five years. Here he liked to read the poems of Franz Stelzhamer . It was a particular pleasure for him when he was allowed to recite poems by the famous dialect poets in school.

After finishing school, he moved to Vienna with his parents . He found it difficult to find his way around the big city and the homesickness, the longing for the forests, meadows, meadows and mountains often weighed on his mind. He also spent his teaching and study years in Vienna. His personal life was not a bed of roses. He was lucky enough to find a brave and loyal companion who gave him four children. But the war he fought in Russia and Italy had seriously damaged his health. He last lived in Bad Goisern , where he died in 1951.

He found his final resting place in Bad Ischl in the Catholic cemetery.
