The first appearance of the "Junge Klostertaler" in Germany took place in 1976 in Salem -Mimmenhausen, where they also gave their last open air in Germany in 2010 at the Schloßseefest .

On 30 August 2008, the Klostertaler took the title home is where the mountains are again at the Grand Prix of folk music in part and in turn occupied the first place. You are the only group that has achieved this.
In 2001 the singer of the group Markus Wolfahrt received the folk music crown together with Gottfried Würcher ( Nockalm Quintet ) and Norbert Rier ( Kastelruther Spatzen ) . The big 3 of folk music received this award for the most spectacular media event of 2000. The three music groups have now also released seven albums and three DVDs together.
After their breakup, Markus Wolfahrt started a solo career and released his first album Mein Weg . Wolfgang Maier and Christian Torchiani founded the Hilander Duo in 2007 , which has already brought three recordings onto the market. After the dissolution, Gerhard Tschann published two of a total of five albums under the name Geri der Ex-Klostertaler . In the meantime he has deleted the "Ex" from his name and is now called "Geri der Klostertaler".

occupation
The group was founded in 1976 by Markus Wolfahrt , his brother Thomas Berthold, Ernst Berthold, Bernhard Fritz and Hartwig Amann in Klösterle am Arlberg as "The Young Klostertaler". A little later, Wolfgang Maier replaced Bernhard Fritz, Manfred Horvath Ernst Berthold and Gerhard Gabriel Hartwig Amann. In 1993 Uwe Altenried joined the group as the sixth member, in 1994 Gerhard Tschann replaced Manfred Horvath and in 1997 Dietmar Konzett replaced Thomas Berthold. Markus Fend joined the band as the seventh man. A year later, Gerhard Gabriel left the band. Dietmar Konzett left the group at short notice in 2005 and was replaced by Uwe Altenried's brother André, who only stayed one year. Afterwards Dietmar Konzett worked as a drummer again. Uwe Altenried, who served as musical director and creative mind for 13 years, also left the group in 2006 and Christian Torchiani came as a replacement, who previously worked with the band "Heartmaster".
