Stelzhamerbund, writing workshop Ebensee

The Stelzhamerbund was founded on August 15, 1882 by Dr. Hans Zötl, Dr. Anton Matosch and Hans Commenda founded. The Stelzhamerbund is committed to equidistance to all ideological currents, political parties and denominations. The Executive Board also emphasizes its fundamental rejection of left-wing and right-wing extremists as well as anti-Semitic ideas. We judge writers of bygone eras exclusively by the quality of their dialect poems. We distance ourselves from anti-Semitic and other politically questionable statements that may be contained in older texts typical of their time, regardless of the person of the author. However, they cannot be a reason to deny the poetic achievements of deceased authors and to neglect their unobjectionable works.
