​

The yearbook of the Villach Museum documents the research results from Werner Koroschitz referring to the burdened street names of the city. The author grants insight into the lack of memory culture in the community based on the critical debate of the topographic naming in Villach.

Measuring. About the "Racial" Examination at St Jakob/Rosental.              

​

Within his research for the exhibition shown and publication edited in 2014 "In Best Agreement" the curator and editor Werner Koroschitz came across a remarkable file, where Vienna anthropologist Karl Tuppa pointed to his examination carried out at St Jakob/ Rosental in 1938 in which 80 % of the community inhabitants, a number of 3200 persons, were measured and photographed according to "racial" criteria. Due to further research hundreds of phptographic copies as well as the corresponding data sheets from the above mentioned examination could be found at the Department of Anthropology at Vienna University. Their contents ranges from the mentioned historical incidents to racist visual appearances at present.

National Socialism in Carinthia

​

What leads to the rise of National Socialism in Carinthia and what enthuses people about it? What plans do the Nazis have with the Carinthian Slovenes? What do the Carinthian Jews experience during the Holocaust? What fate do the Romas and Sintis suffer? Who are the forced labourers? What is Euthanasia? Who offers resistance in Carinthia? How is the debate of National Socialism times developing up to now? Based on such fundamental questions the book tells the story of National Socialism to a broad audience, particularly to young readers, scientifically profound and in a well readable language.

By Amicable Agreement. Antisemitism and NS-Jewish Policiy at the District of Villach (Austria)

​

The book collects plenty of research results which document the lives of Jewish citizens at the district of Villach in the 20th century. Thereby it gets evident how deeply antisemitsm was rooted amongst the Carinthian population already in the beginning of the century. With the "Connection" of Austria to the "Dritte Reich" the Jewish population was exposed to national socialist terror. Confiscation, emigration and death were the direct consequences of this terror regime.

To the Sea. The History of Adraitic Holidays.

​

"To the Sea" is a special exhibition about the history of the Adriatic holidays made by the Carinthian people presented at the Museum of Villach in 2012. For this countless persons were asked about their holiday memories - and amazing material was collected. At the Adria many workers encountered the Italian "Dolce Vita" in the 1950ies and 1960ies enabled by the Austrian economic miracle of the post war era. Decades earlier travelling the Adria was a privilege of nobility and wealthy bourgeouisie.

We all belonged here... . About the Jewish Family Scharfberg in Eisenkappel.

​

This present publication documents the history of a Jewish family from Carinthia who had to escape from their home in 1938. The couple Joseph and Marianne Scharfberg had been located in Eisenkappel since 1930 and ran a textile business here. After the NS takeover in March 1938 the Scharfbergs belonged to the first Carinthian victims of the NS regime. Their business was "aryanised", but the family and their five year old son Kurt managed to escape to Palestine where they had to fight completely moneyless for establishing an existence. The injustice inflicted to them by the main community has never been reprocessed.

My Generation 1968–2008. Awakening at the Province?

​

In the centre of historic interest about "My Generation" is the question for the sociopolitical and cultural effects of the 68 movement in the province. Though there were not any spectacular demonstrations in Carinthia like in Paris, Berlin or Vienna, the juvenile protest movement also made an impact here. In the exhibition the feeling of the juvenile every day life at those times can be found. Coincidently the history of the 68 generation interacts creatively with current juvenile forms of expression. The publication provides a concise summary of all this.

Baby Aboard. Passing the 20th Century by Buggy.

​

By buggy many stories can be told: About the need for mobility and changing gender roles. About technical innovations and the change of urban infrastructure. The exhibition initially links the article of daily use buggy to the city history. In the centre is the question: Who pushes it? The nanny? The mother? Or even the father?

The Uncle from America. Departing into a New World.

​

The contributions of the catalogue and the exhibition approach the phenomenon of migration by means of numerous emigration biographies. The variety of these histories presented to us in form of letters, photographs, diary remarks and interviews results in an overall presentation illustrating that Carinthian emigration to America cannot be conceived as a singular occurence, but as part of European migration.

A Decent Nazi. Oskar Kraus. NS Mayor of Villach. Carinthian Memory Quarrels/Cramps.

​

As part of a project by the state of Carinthia in memory of the "defense quarrel" and a referendum even the national socialist mayor of Villach Oskar Kraus found his way onto a monument.  The publication "a decent Nazi" analyses the political conditions in Carinthia which led to this questionable cenotaph along the Drau bikeway. Besides a basic occupation with the Carinthian state holiday Oskar Kraus is introduced to the public by a political biography as well as by his own autobiographic life memories.

Hotly Embattled, Wildly Disputed. Historic Myths in Red White Red.

​

The years 1945 and 1955 mark a decisive turning point in Austrian history. Between the liberation from National Socialism and the signing of the national treaty concluded with the Allies lies a decade which formed state supporting historic myths and legends about Austria becoming a nation. So the "victim myth" has not only become the central narrative of the nation, but also the basis of identity of the Second Republic. With the background of negotiating the Austrian state treaty historical continuity and breakups are documented, as they cristallised particularly in Carinthia since the foundation of the Second Republic.

All Dobratsch.

Workshop Villach 1900-2000. Work and Spare Time in Transition.

​

Work and spare time are central terms of the exhibition "Workshop Villach 1900-2000" shown at the Westbahnhof in Villach. The time line of this sociohistorical presentation ranges over one century which was particularly shaped by the speedup of our living environment - from the slowly beginning industrialisation around 1900 to the modern, globally linked communication technologies. Considering all social ranks the change initiated by modernisation and technisation from a rigid class society to a highly mobile information and consumption society is also documented in Villach.
