The last issue of “Kärntner” this year In addition to reports on the activities of the local community service and accounts of our fundraising campaigns, it brings texts about the Carinthian timber industry and the Carinthian forest. Forests and wood have traditionally been important factors in our country's economy, on the jobs, but also in relation to nature- und Klimaschutz.
Building with wood has a particularly beautiful tradition in Carinthia. On this topic we present an interview with the renowned Carinthian architect Herwig Ronacher. And our board member Christoph Steinacher, the grandson of the hero of the Carinthian defensive battle, schildert Chancen und Probleme der heimischen Holzwirtschaft.
Finally, we provide an obituary for our friend and long-time employee Reinhold Gasper. As a local politician in Klagenfurt, Gasper made outstanding contributions as a regional historian and as an environmentalist. He died these days 85. age. We bring his last cultural-historical contributions, die er uns noch kurz vor seinem Tode zukommen ließ.
Abschließend sei allen Freunden und Förderern des Kärntner Heimatdienstes auf diesem Wege ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und ein guter Rutsch ins Neue Jahr gewünscht.
