EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Hinterstoder, a picturesque village nestled in Upper Austria during the 1930s. The creator remains unknown, but their lens skillfully portrays a house with a distinctively steeply pitched roof, characteristic of this region. Surrounded by the majestic Totes Gebirge mountain range, Hinterstoder exudes an air of tranquility and natural beauty. The angle of the roof is not merely an architectural choice; it serves as an innovative design to prevent snow from settling on top. This ingenious concept showcases the harmonious blend between human ingenuity and nature's challenges in this alpine setting. Taken from "Osterreich - Land Und Volk" (Austria, Land and People), published by R. Lechner in Vienna around 1935, this photograph transports us back to a time when literature and art celebrated the unique landscapes that define countries like Austria. The image evokes feelings of awe for both its geographical features and architectural marvels. It highlights how remote yet enchanting places like Hinterstoder can be found amidst towering mountains and valleys. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Wilhelm Muller's words: "Innovation lies not only in technology but also within our surroundings". This timeless capture allows us to appreciate traditional elements while recognizing how innovation shapes even seemingly simple aspects such as rooftops. Through this photograph, we embark on a journey through time into one corner of Upper Austria where nature meets human creativity—a testament to both our connection with land und volk (people) and our ability to adapt harmoniously with our environment.
