Geschichte Kompakt: Osterreich

What of the historical heritage counts as the foundations of today's Austria? Based on this question, Ernst Bruckmüller tells Austrian history in a concise overview: Everything you need to know, from prehistory to the present. With this little book, Ernst Bruckmüller creates an introduction to Austrian history and wants to enable curiosity for more knowledge. In exposing the foundations of today's Austria in history, the past times are by no means reduced to the role of forerunners of the here and now. It is about cultural monuments but also about those achievements of past generations that created structural conditions in which we, mostly unconsciously, still live today: landscapes, institutions, the intangible heritage (music, language, literature), mentalities.
