For his work as a teacher and local researcher, he was awarded the title of “ High School Councilor ” as well as numerous awards such as the Great Decoration of Honor of the Province of Carinthia .

Maierbrugger collected ethnographically interesting material throughout his life, such as chronicles of places or parishes, churches or schools. He recorded stories, legends, superstitions, folk customs and sayings and was also actively involved in the maintenance of songs and customs. He checked and added to his records in the Carinthian State Archives. Most of his books have been published several times, such as “Das Kärntner Sagenbuch” from 1971, the tenth edition of which was published in 2004. The thematic focus of his work was the regional history of Upper Carinthia. His most extensive work is the "History of Millstatt". An essential basis of the book were the galley proofs of a story by Millstatt by Robert Eisler , which should have appeared in 1914, but which no longer happened due to the war.
