Andrej Schuster-Drabosnjak and Slovenian cultural life

Köstenberg / Kostanje - Drabosnjak museum of everyday culture

Andrej Schuster, commonly known as Drabosnjak (born May 6, 1768 in Drabosenig / Drabosinje, † December 22, 1825 in Umberg / Umbar) is one of the community's great sons. He was a farmer by profession, a folk dramatist, folk writer and poet by profession. He was a representative of the specific Slovene literary stream of Bukovništvo , which was carried by self-taught authors and which has its roots in the Slovene Protestant language culture. He wrote sacred folk plays that were copied, adapted and performed by amateur actors in the 19th, the first half of the 20th century and until today. The play by the prodigal son Izgubljeni sin and the shepherd or Christmas play Pastirska igra are famous . His pasijon , a passion play, was often performed as a popular theater with numerous amateur actors in the open air, including in Köstenberg / Kostanje.

The local Slovenian cultural association is named after him and is called Slovensko prosvetno društvo Drabosnjak na Kostanjah (Slovenian cultural association Drabosnjak in Köstenberg). This was founded in 1903 as a Slovenian educational association. Like all Slovenian educational associations of the time, special care was taken with language culture, singing and popular education. With Schuster-Drabosnjak, the tradition of folk drama was particularly present in Köstenberg.

The parish church Köstenberg / Kostanje, the branch churches Dröschitz / Trešiče, Kerschdorf / Črešnje, Oberdorf / Gornja vas are shown as bilingual.
