Peter of Tramin
Peter von Tramin (actually Peter Richard Oswald Tschugguel ; born May 9, 1932 in Vienna ; † July 14, 1981 there ) was an Austrian writer .
Life
His ancestors, the Freiherr von Tschugguel zu Tramin , were the inspiration for his stage name. (Names of nobility have been banned from Austrians since 1919 , but they are tolerated as artist names .)
After studying law , Tramin embarked on a career as a banker , but also worked as a translator . He gained fame in particular through his autobiographical novel Die Herren Söhne . Like his teacher Heimito von Doderer , he follows the tradition of Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando with his sometimes fantastic-realistic short stories .
In 1963 Tramin was awarded the Austrian State Prize for Literature.
