Martha Gammer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martha Gammer (* 1947 ) is an Austrian qualified pedagogue , author , translator and local history researcher .

Live and act

Martha Gammer lives in St. Georgen an der Gusen and taught at the secondary school there .

She runs the local museum of local history and from 1997 to 2008 headed the working group for heritage, monument and history preservation (Heimatpflegeverein) St. Georgen an der Gusen.

Since 2008 she has been the chairwoman of the memorial service committee Gusen Concentration Camp, which has existed since 1984 as part of the Heimatpflegeverein and was registered in the register of associations as an independent association .

Your personal commitment to an independent reappraisal of the history of the Gusen concentration camp, detached from dealing with the history of the Mauthausen concentration camp, is u. a. documented by a series of publications in the St. Georgener Heimatbl Blätter. In 2004 she and Rudolf Haunschmied helped set up a permanent exhibition in the visitor center built in 2004 right next to the Gusen Memorial . She worked alongside other members of the Memorial Service Committee in the Audioweg Gusen art project, which opened in 2007.

On the question of how to deal with the underground tunnel in St. Georgen, she campaigned with media coverage in 2009 to ensure that essential parts are preserved and made publicly accessible, a project that would require at least 3 million euros.
