Franz Karl Ginzkey (September 8, 1871, Pola, Austrian Littoral, Austria-Hungary (now Pula, Croatia) - April 11, 1963, Seewalchen am Attersee, Upper Austria, Austria) was an austro-Hungarian (then Austrian) officer, poet and writer. His arguably most famous book ''Hatschi Bratschis Luftballon'' (''Hatschi Bratschis balloon'') captivated generations of children. ==Life== Franz Karl Ginzkey, son of a Bohemian German professional officer of the Austrian Navy, was in the imperial army until 1897. During that period he was intermittently also commander of the as barracks used (Rainer-infantry regiment) Fortress Hohensalzburg. From 1897 to 1914 he worked as a cartographer at the ''Militärgeographischen Institute'' (''Militarygeographic institute'') in Vienna, afterwards in the war archive. Since 1920, he was a retired military member and then worked as a freelance writer. At the time of the Austro-Fascism, he was (for the professional group of artists) from 1934 to 1938 Member of the Council of State and after 1938 came to terms with the leaders of National Socialism. He was friends with Max Mell and Stefan Zweig, and furthermore with Faistauer Anton and Carl Zuckmayer. Moreover, Ginzkey participated in the founding of the Salzburg Festival and for decades was a member of its board of trustees. Since 1944 he lived in Seewalchen at Lake Attersee. After the end of war Ginzkeys ''Die Front in Tirol'' (''The front in Tyrol'') (Fischer, Berlin, 1916) was blacklisted in the Soviet zone of occupation. () On his 100th birthday a ''Franz-Karl-Ginzkey'' monument was erected in Seewalchen at Lake Attersee. He rests in a grave of honor at the Vienna Central Cemetery (Group 32 C, Number 25). Ginzkey is numbered among the circle of ''newromantic'' poets and novelists. One of his literary discoverers was Peter Rosegger. A part of his work shows great connection to Salzburg. This witness the following works: * Wie ich Herr auf Hohensalzburg ward ''When I was master at Hohensalzburg'' * Altsalzburger Bilder nach 10 Federzeichnungen (gemeinsam mit Ulf Seidl ) ''Altsalzburger images after 10 pen drawings (together with Ulf Seidl)'' * Jakobus und die Frauen (1908) ''Jacob and the Women'' * Der seltsame Soldat (1925) ''The strange soldier'' * Der Heimatsucher (1948) ''The home searcher'' * Das Antlitz Salzburgs (1933) ''The face of Salzburg'' * Salzburg und das Salzkammergut (1934) ''Salzburg and the Salzkammergut'' * Prinz Tunora (1934) ''Prince Tunora'' * Salzburg, sein Volk und seine Trachten (1934) ''Salzburg, its people and its costumes'' In 1968 the square between ''Alpenstraße'' (''Alpine street'') and ''Adolf-Schemel-Straße'' (''Adolf-Schemel street'') in the Salzburg district of ''Salzburg-Süd'' (''Salzburg-South'') (Alpinsiedlung) was named in his honor ''Ginzkeyplatz''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franz Karl Ginzkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
