100th anniversary of death
Memorial service in Salzburg for mountain pioneer
To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Johann Stüdl, co-founder of the Alpine Club and mountain pioneer, there will be a large memorial service in Salzburg on January 29. Stüdl carried out numerous first ascents in the Alps in the 19th century and laid the foundations for modern alpinism.
"The foundations laid by Johann Stüdl - from mountain huts to the professionalization of mountain guiding - are still indispensable today. His vision has shaped the Alpine Club and is a mandate for us to carry on his values," says Wolfgang Schnabl, President of the Austrian Alpine Club. The Stüdl Hut and the Stüdl Ridge on the Grossglockner still commemorate the mountain pioneer today.
On January 29, the Alpine Club will lay a wreath at the grave at the Salzburg municipal cemetery at 11 am. The documentary film "Johann Stüdl - visionary and developer of the Alps" will be shown in the Römersaal of the Mozartkino from 3 pm.
