"Uli" Sild
"Uli" Sild in the mountains

Ulrich Sild (born June 4, 1911 in Vienna ; † May 9, 1937 at Hochschwab in Styria ), called "Uli", was an Austrian mountaineer.

family

Uli Sild was a descendant of the well-known Austrian mountaineering families Sild and von Ficker. He was the eldest son of Cenzi Sild (1878-1956), born von Ficker, and her husband Hannes Sild , who worked as a lawyer in Vienna. His younger brothers were Hans Henning and Meinhart Sild . Uli Sild's grandfather was the Westphalian legal historian Johann Kaspar Julius Ficker Ritter von Feldhaus (1826–1902), who taught at the University of Innsbruck .

Life

At the beginning of the First World War , Uli Sild and his mother moved from Vienna to a farm near Innsbruck when their father went to the front with the 1st Regiment of the Tyrolean Kaiserjäger .

After the end of the war, the seven-year-old accompanied both parents to mountaineering on the Habicht in the Stubai Alps , the Serles between the Stubaital and Wipptal , into the Birkkar and on the Lamsenspitze in the Karwendel . At the age of 9 years, he moved with his parents to Vienna, where he in the 21st district the 21s high school attended. Nevertheless, he remained connected to the mountains and, at the age of fifteen, led a group of 15 mountaineering beginners to the Polinik and the Mittagskogel.

At this age he suffered from bronchial asthma as a health restriction . His parents therefore retrained him to an open-air school on the North Sea in order to benefit from the stimulating climate there . From Easter 1927 he attended the reform pedagogical school by the sea on the island of Juist , a country education home run by Martin Luserke with a musical, sporty and handicraft character . After Uli went on mountain hikes in the summer of 1929 with his parents in the Sesto Rotwand and the Kleine Zinne , in autumn 1929 he took schoolmates to the Triglav in the Julian Alps and to the Große Zinne in the Sesto Dolomites .

After his passing matriculation examination in 1931, he returned from the island of Juist to Austria and enrolled at the University of Innsbruck for the subject Law one should, however, also at the Alma Mater Rudolphina Vindobonensis have studied in Vienna. Meanwhile, he continued climbing. As a student he worked as a sponsor of the school by the sea , while his father was one of its confidants and in Vienna informed and advised parents of potential private students about this country school home.

During his studies he organized and ran a skiing holiday for current and former students for the school by the sea during the Christmas holidays. He also took on the role of ski instructor. The group ski hikes led from January 3 to 17, 1932 through the Schladminger Tauern in day trips to the Sauschneiderhörndl (1,500 m), the Rostbrandl (1,791 m), the Grieskareck (1,939 m) or over several days to the Seekarhaus (1,800 m), from from which several peaks up to a height of 2,450 m were climbed together.

Fourteen days before his last academic exam, Uli Sild, "the ornament and hope of younger mountaineers", at the age of 25 as a guide on a mountain tour on the south-west face of the Stangenwand of the Hochschwab group in Styria, fell together with his rope team, the Swiss Aviation pioneer Walter Mittelholzer (1894–1937) and Lieselotte Kastner, née Lorenz, daughter of the Viennese surgeon and alpinist Hans Lorenz (1873–1934). Rockfall was suspected as the cause at the time. All three were considered good mountaineers.

Uli Sild was transferred to Vienna and buried there in the Jedleseer Friedhof .
