Lienz, my hometown,
I can only thank you.
You satisfy me with impressions
and fill my thoughts.
Every time I am with you,
it comes back to me,
you are a jackpot for me,
the city in the sunshine.
Small and fine as never seen before,
you lie in the middle of the valley.
The most beautiful thing is to go for a walk,
through you, an original.
You are unique only
for those who understand it.
A clock runs differently here
and there is no need to leave.
The details are the reason,
whether churches, busts, roses,
that your appearance is so colorful,
I just want to caress you.
Lienz, my hometown,
I can only thank you.
Pictures are never scarce thanks to you,
you fill all thoughts.

Declaration of love not to a woman, but to a city? Why not, if one knows, appreciates, and therefore loves it - like a person.
one is familiar. This refers not only to a familiar environment, to knowing the streets, squares and buildings, but above all to their historical background, which makes them come alive.
When one deals with the history of our city, one realizes that Lienz goes back a long way and was also very significant. In this respect, we can be proud of our city! After all, for centuries it was the residence of a dynasty that could well compete with other noble families in Central Europe. Much still reminds us of this, the old city wall, Castle Bruck, St. Andrä, etc.through which the "Swiss street sweepers" drove their cows to drink at the Isel-Wiere - the house where once a mountain judge had his seat - the house where the highly deserving Dr. Schedler lived, who contributed significantly to the city"s healthcare, where also the historian Albert von Muchar was born - the house where the important Baroque sculptor Johann Paterer had his workshop, etc. Also, grim details are part of the history of our city: Here the house where the catastrophic city fire broke out on April 8, 1609 or thehouse where the Jew Samuel Bohrer had his business, which was "Aryanized" in 1938 and the like.
When I walk through my hometown, historical details keep coming to me and I am involved in its centuries-long development; it gains life and humanity and you just have to love it!

When too many people get too loud in too little space again, we close the windows and retreat to the kitchen. A mother and her two daughters tie on their aprons and discuss weighty matters like: Is "Krendeln" also at home in East Tyrol or do we do it because of the Carinthian great-grandmother, which mint is the right one, and are the potatoes from last year? And then it"s time to get to work:
Making dough, cooking potatoes, sour cream, salt, mint, garlic, chives ... and being careful and quick so that the dough remains smooth. Then there are stories from grandma, about skiing and Lake Tristach, and about going home next time. And before you know it, 120 filled and "pitscht" and "krendelt" doughnuts are made. 30 go into the stomach, 90 into the freezer.
Viennese everyday life had a break - but now it can continue.

I have subscribed to the Osttiroler Boten and receive the latest news from Lienz delivered to my home every week. Since 1977, my husband and I have regularly been in Lienz. We know Lienz in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Unfortunately, my husband passed away, but last year I was in Lienz. Lienz is and remains my "second home". By the way, the yellow chair "The sun is sitting with us in the city" is also with me. I am waiting for the borders to reopen soon so that I can finally visit the sunny city of Lienz and see dear friends there.can meet again.
Best regards to the sunny city of Lienz from Hilde Recklies from Lemgo in Germany
Life is a big playground. It all started back then. Here.
Lienz. We take a break. Stop.
Pause time. LIENZ. "The Dolomite Pearl", there was a drink called "Kandlhofer". Right? Write a declaration of love? - Just like that. What comes to mind about my own hometown - completely spontaneously. Many beautiful memories. I have known it for over 61 years. Corresponding to the long period of time and the stay on the planet, only vaguely from fragments, a thousand head images, a countless-perplexed existing reprise. In the midst of a staccato. From the past. Over 43 years lie in between. Between Lienz- then and now. "Hey, think about it!". It is - and remains my hometown. This leap back in time and on the side brings heartbeats of youthful lightness. Youngster! Coupled with the naivety of the past. Long hair and a few bold statements were enough to stand out somehow. Smoke a little. Of course, without taking a drag. But it looked cool.
Thinking. Out. Rest. It was probably in the 70s.
We, the "boys" clique, four, five boys went to the commercial school. Despite a recording test in the HAK, the easier way was chosen. At that time the small building in Weidengasse. 9 boys and the rest of the class, 12 or 14 - were all girls. We, the boys were overwhelmed. Yes also with them. With growing up. Underwhelmed with the "fabric". And have always coordinated us who in - and who can stay outside of school today. "Who is allowed today?" - Voting. Then off to the "vicious reserve. In the legendary" milk bar "there was a music box, I think I still hear" Mama Mia "and" Fernando "in permanent rotation - from Abba (although I was never a fan of Sweden), there was a pool table in the back. Kugelport. There was the meeting point for everyone. Always. At any time. The teachers could have "school swimmers", if they wanted to have, easily found us, everyone, but everyone was located. Otherwise - playing football at - ASV - Lienz that no longer exists today. In the evening in the Central-in the "Almdiele",-everyone was there, "grape cellar" (with live music) further into the "tump" with the "abscess music" shalle at the end. I lived in Haspingerstrasse. The street -owned football club was called "1st FC Haspinger 1809" friendly games against the peace settlement, against Thurn etc. for me a good time. Lienz was clear, actually not provincial, open - geographically - to the south - drinking coffee with the first used car - B -cadet, Lienz was also culturally quite far thanks to the "Ummi -Gummi" heart energy, Eberhard Forcher, the "heart attacker "from the South Tyrolean settlement of our ally on the radio" to the Himalayas " We open, Innsbruck far away, Spittal, Villach and Innichen, Brauneck closer. We, at that time already a pre-falco-tunted one-like the "young Romans". And of course - we seriously thought "We fly as high as never" - Lienz, a small cocoon, not "correct", not Carinthia, independent, enclave of the sun - the starting point, the starting knot - somehow knew everyone here, not just from the age group. "Summer Frischler" - young peers from Innsbruck, who stayed at Grandma in Haspingerstrasse, told us proudly (we said "Fotzgscheit") something of "TV" in color. And seriously believed that we wouldn"t know that yet. Lienz was the rebellious south. Lienz was freedom. Lienz was a sunset. Freedom on all sides. Drautal, Iseltal, Mölltal - the world wide open. "Spirit in the Sky" - skiing. What a pleasure. Season map. On foot from Haspingerstrasse up to the Zettersfeld valley station. Or departing from the Schloßberg via the "Neureiter - Wiese". There was also the "Kandlhofer" with his " Lienzer Perle". The way back was shorter there. That later, the future - where do I find work, what really happens in life with me, no topic yet.
Back there.
At the Iselkai, there was a small round, overgrown, narrow - you came out at the Gliber confectionery (remembering me - at that time - probably the best ice in the city). In between somewhere, one of our professors lived. And against all the precautions - just saw. "How Filopat and Patofil Seids sneaked over" he meant later. In Lienz, the clocks went differently, more tranquil, slower. And today? Today, many of my “community” at that time disappeared into all wind directions. Emigrated. But I claim a “ Lienzer "always remains. Linguistically recognizable. Not for the common horchloes. But professionals and locals know it - even after decades. Immediately. For me, Lienz is a gem of the particularly estimated way. Who knows that if it has meant fate differently - I would still be where I am, but where I was born. "Corridoring commuting" got to know, get a job away, always claimed for a long time when the bank settles there, I change to Lienz, too late, the time forms and deformed wishes and dreams tough due to reality. Today - with and after Corona Lienz has all attributes and values that make up "homeland", all cardiacs, natural beauties need good hosts after a crisis. Preserve and preserve. After. Storage. Attitude.
They come in. The pictures.
Summer work in the Lienz "Forest Garden", in Aguntum - transporting gravel from A to B with the "wheelbarrow". One Schilling per load. Every second Schilling was then received by the one who made the "marks" per load. Three years at the "Großglockner" - correctly: Franz-Josefs-Höhe - bus parking lot - "liquor seller" at Lebensmittel Pichler. Learning to "sell". Army - Franz-Josefs Barracks. Seemingly pointless digging and filling holes - seemingly all over East Tyrol. Night marches. Overnight on bare ground. Thud! Good night.
The city is the starting point. From me. From everything around me. LIENZ. LIENZ. LIENZ that has a beautiful, colorful, friendly sound to me, evokes Mediterranean colors and many memories, interspersed with speckles of special moments - with my parents, with friends, flashes of special experiences, everything forms a unity. LIENZ without an "I" is a spring. To have a "spring".
Coming together. Colorful pictures in the head. Confusion.
Crisscross. Without years. The youthful lightness is displaced by my age. What remains? The desire to return once again, to stroll through the streets and the city of LIENZ. I have made up my mind: Intended. Written down. Even a love can return. Ignite anew. Old affection awakens. I am curious.

Belonging, even a special appeal. The town is nestled in a beautiful landscape where you can take relaxing walks and engage in many sports. The southern flair of the city center with lovingly designed flower arrangements and tastefully renovated squares never fails to enchant me anew. In summer, the cozy outdoor cafes invite you to linger, and a stroll through the streets reveals that our shops can easily compete with the offerings of larger cities. Even though many cultural and sports events cannot currently take place due to the Corona crisis, it will only be a matter of time before they resume. What does Lienz mean to me today? A lot. I feel comfortable here and I have everything I need to live. Geborgenheit, ja sogar einen besonderen Reiz. Die Stadt liegt eingebettet in eine wunderschöne Landschaft, in der man erholsame Wanderungen machen und viele Sportarten betreiben kann. Vom südländischen Flair der Innenstadt mit den liebevoll gestalteten Blumenarrangements und den geschmackvoll renovierten Plätzen lasse ich mich immer wieder aufs Neue verzaubern. Im Sommer laden die gemütlichen Cafes im Freien zum Verweilen ein und bei einem Bummel durch die Straßen stellt man fest, dass es unsere Geschäfte durchaus mit dem Angebot größerer Städte aufzunehmen vermögen. Auch wenn die vielen kulturellen und sportlichen Veranstaltungen aufgrund der Coronakrise derzeit nicht stattfinden können, wird es nur eine Frage der Zeit sein, bis es wieder so weit ist. Was bedeutet mir Lienz heute? Sehr viel. Hier fühle ich mich wohl und hier habe ich auch alles, was ich zum Leben brauche.

Bericht einer Familie aus Bayern, die Lienz schon lange in´s Herz geschlossen hat. Tja – Lienz – die versteckte Perle in den Ostdolomiten. Ich schreibe diese Zeilen aus Ingolstadt, Bayern – ca. 3,5 - 4 Stunden von Lienz entfernt. Wie meist im Leben, war auch unsere Entdeckung von Lienz vor über 20 Jahren eher dem Zufall geschuldet. Damals bekamen wir einen Tipp von Freunden und erlebten unsere ersten Wintertage im Familien-Skigebiet Zettersfeld auf der Tauernsüdseite. Wir waren auf Anhieb fasziniert von diesem in sich abgeschlossenen, nicht überlaufenen aber trotzdem alles bietenden Skigebiet. Kinder können eigentlich nicht verloren gehen und man kann sie schon früh ohne Bedenken allein auf die Piste schicken. Dazu die kurzen Wege, wenn man direkt auf dem Sonnenplateau Zettersfeld in einer rustikalen Alm mit bester Versorgung nächtigt, die Möglichkeit alles auszuleihen, was das Schneeherz begehrt sowie die erfahrene und kundige Betreuung durch die Ski-Schule und das nicht nur für die jüngeren Schneehasen und Schneemänner. Seit über 20 Jahren verbringen wir nun jedes Jahr die Silvesterwoche 800 Meter über Lienz. Bei den morgendlichen Skitouren entlang des Pistenrandes von der Basis-Liftstation bis zum Steinermandl, or bei guter Kondition auch bis zum Goisele, sieht man Lienz friedlich im Tal liegen, teilweise noch im Nebel, während man bei der Tour schon die Sonnenbrille aufsetzen muss, um nicht geblendet zu werden. Während man sich bei uns zu Hause in dieser Zeit meist in einem bedeckten nass-kalten Einheitsgrau bewegt, scheint in Lienz dagegen auch im Winter fast täglich die Sonne. Ein Vorteil der Alpensüdseite. Das hebt die Stimmung und tut der Seele gut. Regelmäßige Besuche in der Stadt haben uns auch die Stadt Lienz nähergebracht. Ein kleiner Einkaufsbummel, ein Kaffee in einem Kaffeehaus in der Fußgängerzone. Mehrere Janker und Trachtenblusen in unseren Schränken zuhause sind traditionelle und ehrenwerte Andenken an die Stadt an Drau und Isel, die auch in Bayern immer wieder gerne getragen werden. Mittlerweile waren wir nun auch im Sommer schon öfters in der Lienzer Bergwelt. Hier lohnt es sich einfach, an den vom Namen her To quickly pass by the more famous ski and hiking areas and then you are in a dreamlike, peaceful mountain world, because even in summer everything is not as crowded here as in other regions. Overwhelming views reward you when you have made it to the summit. One lifetime will not be enough to explore and experience all the hiking opportunities that the Lienz Dolomites or the Schober Group offer. Since a few years ago, some friends of ours moved to Lienz, we have been spending more and more time in Lienz and getting to know more genuine locals. A straightforward people, charming and imaginative. Plus, an honest, healthy, and fresh cuisine. The creative use of good local ingredients has captivated us for a long time. Well-made Schlipfkrapfen and a red Zweigelt rounded off with a Bregler or a Zirbenschnaps – what more could one want. The hearty Bauernlaib bread and the Osttiroler Jausenspeck are also constant souvenirs to continue to savor a few days of vacation in Lienz at home. Now we hope very much that this difficult time will soon be overcome for all of us and that this year we will soon be able to immerse ourselves again in the East Dolomites world around Lienz. With best regards from Bavaria Jahr verteilt immer öfters in Lienz und lernen so auch immer mehr echte Lienzer kennen. Ein geradliniger Menschenschlag, charmant und ideenreich. Dazu eine ehrliche, gesunde und frische Küche. Der kreative Umgang mit den guten Zutaten aus der Region hat es uns schon lange angetan. Gut gemachte Schlipfkrapfen und dazu ein roter Zweigelt abgerundet mit einem Bregler or einem Zirbenschnaps – was will man mehr. Der kernige Bauernlaib und der Osttiroler Jausenspeck sind ebenfalls ständige Mitbringsel, um auch zuhause noch ein paar Tage dem Hauch von Urlaub in Lienz nachzuspüren. Jetzt hoffen wir sehr, dass diese schwierige Zeit für uns alle bald überwunden sein wird und wir auch dieses Jahr dann bald wieder in die Ostdolomiten-Welt um Lienz eintauchen können. Mit besten Grüßen aus Bayern

we gladly accepted the more than 600-kilometer journey to participate in one of the most scenic meetings. But not only the unique panorama worldwide, but also the warmth of the people were crucial in making me fall in love - it was truly love at first sight. Also playing a major role is the well-organized meeting of the Osttirol sports car enthusiasts, but also the other participants, who come from Germany, Holland, and of course, Austria. Across the board, they are lovely people, all of us connected by our love for sports cars and the love for the Osttirol region. All of this creates the atmosphere of this unique meeting, as these meetings are not about best times or record drives, but about enjoying together the unique backdrop of the Osttirol region. It also doesn"t matter which sports car you come with, you don"t need 1000 horsepower to be part of it, because the focus is on enjoying the picturesque panorama. The routes led by the Osttirol sports car enthusiasts also take you to places that only a local can know, where normal tourists will never go and therefore cannot know what they are actually missing. Some club colleagues and Czech friends have already booked for this year. Unfortunately, due to the Corona crisis, it is unpredictable whether the meeting will take place this year. At the moment, it is more important that this very stressful time for all people is overcome healthily and that we can all soon return to a hopefully normal life haben wir die über 600 Kilometer lange Anreise gerne in Kauf genommen, um an einem der landschaftlich schönsten Treffen teilzunehmen. Aber nicht nur das weltweit einzigartige Panorama, sondern auch die Herzlichkeit der Menschen waren ausschlaggebend, dass ich mich verliebte - es war wirklich Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Auch spielt eine große Rolle das bestens organisierte Treffen der Sportwagenfreunde Osttirols, aber auch die anderen Teilnehmer, die aus Deutschland, Holland und natürlich auch aus Österreich kommen. Sind durch die Bank liebenswerte Menschen, uns alle verbindet die Liebe zu Sportwagen und die Liebe zu der Region Osttirol. Dies alles macht die Atmosphäre dieses einzigartigen Treffens aus, da es bei diesen Treffen nicht um Bestzeiten or sonstigen Rekordfahrten, geht sondern gemeinsam die einzigartige Kulisse des Osttiroler Landes zu genießen. Spielt es auch keine Rolle, mit welchen Sportwagen man kommt, es sind nicht 1000e PS notwendig, um dabei zu sein, denn im Mittelpunkt steht das Geniessen des malerischen Panoramas. Die von den Sportwagenfreunde Osttirols geführten Routen führen auch an Orte, die nur ein Einheimischer kennen kann, wo normale Touristen niemals hinkommen werden und darum auch gar nicht wissen können, was ihnen eigentlich entgeht. Auch einige Clubkollegen und tschechische Freunde haben für dieses Jahr schon gebucht. Leider ist durch die Corona-Krise nicht vorhersehbar, ob das Treffen dieses Jahr stattfinden kann. Im Moment ist es wichtiger, dass diese für alle Menschen sehr belastende Zeit gesund überstanden wird und wir alle bald wieder ein hoffentlich normales Leben be able to lead. If it doesn"t work out this year, we"ll see you again next year. Because once you have learned to love this unique setting and atmosphere, it is very difficult to do without it.

Where? Surrounded by mountains, trees, meadows my sunny city Lienz thrives Magnificent!
DearDear Sun City, I have been sitting at home for five weeks and I heard that I am allowed to write to you. I sit there and look at you from far away in my memory. I actually wanted to be with you for a long time. I miss the laughter of the people who normally surround you, the many shops that provide special things for us humans, the coffee houses that invite you to linger, and the beautiful gardens that I always enjoy so much. I reminisce about the past and wish that I wake up tomorrow and everythingwill be normal again. Normal, yes that would be it, but now it"s something special that I have learned to appreciate during this time. What a beautiful city you are between the Isel and the Drau. I look into the corner of my apartment and see my new shoes, which I wanted to wear on my next visit to you, to walk through your streets with them. At this thought, I have to laugh now. Due to the design of the streets, the steps of all people sound different, sometimes dull, sometimes elegant, sometimes barely audible, and sometimes very"loud. I am looking forward to wearing my new shoes, meeting friends in Lienz, and can hardly wait to meet the many other smiling people who enjoy the freedom and the sun.

A theater does not exist in Lienz, however, there are plenty of cultural offerings, depending on taste. After all, there is a largeStadtsaal Lienz for various events. And, as in almost every village, there are also singing clubs, a traditional brass band, and similar groups for the entertainment of locals and guests. During my school years, I went to music school once a week for many years (back then still in the south of the city) to take piano lessons there. Now I prefer to play the keyboard, currently preferably "Ragtime" or similar music. Due to my interest in it and my good hearing as well as my talent
During a ski course organized by the school on the Zettersfeld, I was able to improve my skiing skills significantly. On some hiking days, we as students could enjoy many beauties of Osttirol"s landscape, relax well, and appreciate the tranquility of nature. We had two physical education classes per week at school. What I liked about it was the fact that we often played football (as long as it was not too cold, outdoors). Above all, it was about having fun and enjoying the movement.
Since many important shops in Dellach have closed, I often take the train to Lienz to do my shopping. I often need something from the pharmacy, sometimes I buy textiles or tools, or craft materials at the hardware store. But also books, office supplies, technical devices, or accessories.
I appreciate very much that there are numerous cycling and hiking trails and for example also the beautiful mountain world, especially in the Lienz Dolomites and many other clean and mostly fortunately "untouched" areas, which are gladly used for walking. There are also many opportunities for skiing (Zettersfeld, Hochstein) and even a so-called "summer toboggan run", which is a lot of fun especially for children. It is pleasant and relaxing to swim in Lake Tristach and enjoy the sun on the meadow. Also,the swimming pool is very nice and that pleases every swimmer very much. There and also in the parks of Lienz everything is very well maintained, which also contributes to the good reputation and "image" of this city. This is especially important for tourism. In many parks there are imaginatively designed, colorful flower beds - this is also a pleasant "sight". The air is very clean everywhere in the city, as is the water, not only the drinking water, but also that of the Isel and the Drau and that of the many small, lovely streams, of which thereare probably enough in East Tyrol. It is pleasant, fine, relaxing, and refreshing to rest on one of the many benches (for example near the Isel) and enjoy the rushing of the water, the fresh air, and the sunshine, while we can also often listen to the singing of the birds.
which I sometimes like to have a (by the way very good!) beer, one day they gave me the WLAN password without much thought. dem ich manchmal gerne ein (übrigens sehr gutes!) Bier trinke, gab man mir eines Tages, ohne lange nachzudenken, das WLAN-Passwort bekannt.
In all restaurants and inns, good food is cooked. The pizzas from the pizzerias also taste excellent, as do all other dishes that we can enjoy somewhere in the city. There are also plenty of opportunities, for example, to eat good soups or Italian pasta dishes, to have a tea or coffee, and in many cafes you can get delicious pastries. Especially in summer, many Italians can be found. So I have a good opportunity to "try out" my language skills.
We regularly receive the "Osttiroler Boten". It not only contains advertising for East Tyrol, but also reports very extensively on life in the Lienz district and there are many interesting articles, letters to the editor, and also good photos, especially in the "Sport" section. It can also happen that we find good suggestions for designing our leisure time. Hobby enthusiasts are also not short of options (crossword puzzles, Sudoku, ...). Often, we can also learn a lot about the "former life" in East Tyrol.
When I think about nature, I think: I think it"s good that there is a trash with almost all racers. So we no longer have an excuse if we do not dispose of the garbage, but simply leave it on the floor. Fortunately, according to my observation, most people stick to it and got used to leaving the landscape as clean as they found it. The wonderful fields and forests, the wonderful mountains, the pure rivers, lakes, ponds and streams and the good air let me come to the conclusion that I will agree with part of the text of the following song: it is called "beautiful East Tyrol" (played and sung by the Großglocknerkapelle Kals).
GeneralGeneral has long been known and is now very popular, the weekly "farmers" market" in Messinggasse (currently at the main square due to Corona). The selection of different products is very large (bread, sausage, ham, bacon, cheese, honey, juices, spirits and much more). It is also well known that the city of Lienz can boast many sunny days a year. Therefore, it is often referred to as the "Sun City". There is a sticker with the inscription "Sun City Lienz" for this. I once had such aDay glued onto a pin badge with a pin and wanted to attach it to a sweater or jacket in order to make personal advertising for Lienz. I haven"t done it yet. But if the day comes, I would be curious to see how people react, especially the female mayor.

We had only recently gotten to know you and the residents better. By chance, we were approached by Hansi Kellner at the sports car meeting "Fire on the Asphalt" asking if we would like to participate with our convertibles. Some club members from Burgenland quickly decided to drive to the mountains and take part in the great event. We were surprised to discover what beautiful places we were allowed to get to know in Lienz and its surroundings. But not only the area, but we also got to know the particularly nice peopleget to know, with their unique cultural and culinary delights.
We fell in love with you immediately, because as you know, we lack mountains around Lake Neusiedl! Hopefully we will soon experience the warmth, the shared enjoyment, the great scenery, and the breathtaking atmosphere again. Greetings from Burgenland.

or
The town where they say “Griasti” and “Pfiati
Klein und beschaulich aber gerne auch laut und bunt. Momentan ungewohnt ruhig, erzählt man mir. Immer herzlich. Erste Schlagworte, die mir in den Sinn kommen, wenn ich an meine Heimatstadt Lienz denke. Oft ernte ich verwunderte Blicke, wenn ich neuen Bekanntschaften von meiner Herkunft erzähle. Wo denn das sei, mein Dialekt klinge ja irgendwie kärntnerisch. Und tatsächlich, wer nicht zufällig im Sommer schon einmal durch die Lienzer Dolomiten gewandert ist or im Winter unsere steilen Pisten am Hochstein Pisten hinuntergewedelt, weiß oft wirklich nicht, wo dieses Osttirol liegt. Dass unser kleines Juwel aber durchaus über die Staatsgrenzen hinaus Berühmtheit erlangen kann, zeigt sich in einer Anekdote, die mein Vater immer wieder gerne erzählt: Als er vor langer Zeit studienbedingt in Südengland unterwegs war, kam er an einer einsamen Bushaltstelle zu stehen. Mit ihm war nur eine junge Frau, augenscheinlich einheimisch, und um die Wartezeit zu überbrücken, fing sie in höflich britischer Manier ein Gespräch an: „Where are you from?“. Mein Vater, durchaus gut aufgelegt, wagte ein kleines Experiment und antwortete prompt: „From Lienz.“ Und siehe da, die wenig überraschte junge Gesprächspartnerin erwiderte: „Ah, isn’t this the place where they say „Griasti“ and „Pfiati“? Erstaunlich? Jedenfalls! Ein einzelner Zufall? Wohl eher nicht! Denn eine ganz ähnliche Geschichte soll sich laut meinem Vater auch in Sizilien zugetragen haben. Diese hier wiederzugeben, würde wohl den Rahmen sprechen, aber ihr könnt ihn ja gerne danach fragen, wenn ihr ihn das nächste Mal auf der Straße or, noch wahrscheinlicher, am Weg zur Tschule, trefft. Und auch das macht unser Lienz aus. Man trifft die Leute noch. Man bleibt stehen und verweilt. Und man redet. Wie lang kann einem die Rossengasse plötzlich vorkommen, wenn man an einem schönen Frühlingstag um Ostern hindurchschlendert und alle fünf Meter einen alten Bekannten trifft. Auch wenn mich mein Lebensweg schon länger weg von Lienz in die große Stadt geführt hat und eine Rückkehr in den Sternen steht, so verbringe ich immer wieder gerne ein paar freie Tage hier. Manche meiner alten Lehrer aus Schulzeiten erkennen mich No longer, when they pass me on the street, because just as I have changed, so does the Dolomite city. Slowly, step by step, always a little bit. I know many corners so well that I notice it immediately on my walk. There a new house, a new fountain, or just a freshly painted facade. Always good topics, when the conversation in Rosengasse turns into a stopover in one of our many beautiful cafes. Will the main square ever be redesigned? Is the North School collapsing soon?soon together? And who will be playing at the Tuesday concert this summer? And how these conversations never get boring, it"s rarely dull in Lienz. Hardly any small town can offer such a diverse program as ours. The summer and winter seasons are filled with cultural, sports, and culinary highlights. The city lives, sometimes it pulsates, one might almost think. How strange it seems to me when I hear the current stories. Empty streets, deserted places, loweredblinds. At the peak of the crisis, only a few figures were seen sneaking around the corners. Don"t stand out, stick together, stay at home. Stay at home. Not a favorite discipline of the people of Lienz. Too urban, too urban one feels in this small town, which likes to compete with the metropolises of the world in its annual event calendar. No one likes to stay too long in their own four walls. And so the latest relaxations must also be a relief, even if much is far from back to normal. If thatwill ever be. But Lienz will manage that already. Because the creativity and resourcefulness in this place are too great to silence it in the crisis. I am sure of that. And on my next visit, I will make sure.

2 years ago we came to Lienz through the fantastic sports car meeting Fire on the Asphalt.
There we met very great people and got to know the beautiful region.
This fascinated us so much that the 3-day sports car event has become a fixed part of our annual vacation. Our first journey through the Felbertauern Tunnel and the breathtaking landscape already thrilled us before the meeting.
Through the tours in the region, e.g. to Lake Weissensee, Pustertal High Road, we have learned to love and appreciate the landscape, which has made us eager for more.
There is still much for us to discover, so that we will come back to your wonderful city again this year, as far as possible in these times. Greetings from the cathedral city of Cologne
Claudia and Andreas Leidel, Cologne
nothing is too bad for you.
You have experienced 1900 wars,
you have received 1900 beatings.
But now you stand there,
as if nothing ever happened.
You give us joy and happiness,
every day a new piece.
You are there for us, yes indeed,
you are there for us, yesss for TRUE!

Lienz is my crush,
has so much charm.
Has so much colorful life,
can give a lot to everyone.
The town small and fine,
invites everyone warmly.
Lienz has done me good,
draws me back again and again.
It holds so many beauties,
that bring me joy.
The town is grandiose
and doesn"t let me go!

Lienz, my love, the barberry bushes along the Isel, whose leaves we once, almost dogmatically, chewed, almost frenetically, giving space to the, as we had to learn, futile hope that they might mask the smell of tobacco, after the first, painstakingly smoked cigarettes, completely forbidden of course, like so much back then, because we had not really outgrown our childhood shoes, sour in memory and a bit scratchy in the throat, I will probably never forget them, these barberry bushes, far awayabove head high and without number and behind it the gentle swell of the river, as it gently licks the shore. The eternal sandy, narrow path that meandered along the shore, then occasionally stretching the feet into the waves and breathing boundlessly freely with the free play of soul forces. The sun like a velvety whisper on the shoulders, the poems of our time truly never ended and pointed us in the direction of a true life. A day like in heaven, when we set off up Maximilianstraße towards Grafenbach and there theNature wildness a little adventurous spirit. Or the way out to the forest inn - a gift every time, the time that floated freely and playfully led us by the nose, into a present that was diligent and eager, amused and fresh, soft and full of warming familiarity. The main square, which lies contemplatively, today as well as then, the towers of Liebburg, which watch over shading. The people, who here much more often give each other an enchanting smile and their kindness like a shimmering"enchanted mist bank over all heads. The clouds, which gather near the Schleinitz into an initially grim countenance, but then widen the mouth to a broad smile in the next moment, the deep blue, the wind, which summons southern scents far from harsh lagoon putrefaction, it was and still is to me the finely chiseled gateway to the world. The further I distanced myself, in years and geographical distances, the closer to my heart this gem nestled in the intoxicating mountain world, benevolent and warm. It Connection with the delicate grace of a city that lives, breathes, and warmly and heartily resists the cold of the times, then as now - Lienz, I love you. Verbundenheit mit der zarten Anmut einer Stadt, die lebt, die atmet und die warm und herzlich der Kälte der Zeit widersteht, damals wie heute - Lienz, ich liebe dich.

Sehr geehrte Frau Mayor Elisabeth Blanik, sehr gerne teilen wir Ihnen unsere positiven Erlebnisse in einem Leserbrief mit. Da wir sehr Sportwagen begeistert sind, fahren wir fast jährlich schon über mehrere Jahre in die Nachbar Marktgemeinde Nußdorf - Debant zum 3- tägigen Sportwagen „Feuer am Asphalt“ Event. Damit sich die fast 800 km Anreise aus Deutschland auch lohnen, verlängern wir gerne unseren Urlaub, somit haben wir zusätzlich noch genügend Zeit die Umgebung auf eigene Faust zu erkunden und kennenzulernen. Die Anreise durch den Felbertauerntunnel/Felbertauernstraße ist schon ein Erlebnis mit einer Wunderschönen Landschaft und einem Wunderschönen Panorama auf einer Seehöhe von 1.632 m. Vom neuen gegründete Verein Sport & Sportwagen Freunde Osttirol wird das sehr beliebte und über die Grenzen bekannte Sportwagentreffen nun weiter veranstaltet. Auch jetzt werden die atemberaubenden Fahrstrecken liebevoll erarbeitet und organisiert z. B. verschiedenen Höhenstraßen, das Gailtal, div. Aussichtspunkte, Weißensee, Cafés und Restaurants. Wir hoffen sehr, dass es noch lange so fortgeführt werden kann! In und um die Lienzer Dolomiten gibt es sehr viel zu erkunden und zu entdecken. Die Stellenweise noch vorhandene unberührte Natur und die dazugehörende Stille erleben ist einfach nur phänomenal. In der erwähnten Freizeit gehen wir dann auch immer sehr gerne in den Ortskern von Lienz zum Bummeln und Shoppen. Der Bauern- und auch der Töpfermarkt sind sehr schön anzusehen. Man findet mit Sicherheit das ein or andere Souvenir. Die Menschen die wir in den Jahren vor Ort kennenlernen durften, möchten wir nicht mehr missen, so liebenswert, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man kommt als Fremder und geht als Freund! Es besteht das ganze Jahr über intensiver Kontakt. Wir freuen uns jedes Jahr aufs Neue mit den Organisatoren der Veranstaltung sowie den Teilnehmer und auch den Fans das Treffen zu feiern. Natürlich haben wir letztes Jahr schon wieder für dieses Jahr gebucht, um an dem Event „Feuer am Asphalt“ teilzunehmen und auch um ein bisschen Urlaub zu machen. Jetzt müssen wir aber leider erst einmal abwarten, was aus der Corona Situation wird. Bleiben Sie alle gesund! Liebe Grüße aus Bad Honnef das „rheinische Nizza“ am Fuße des Siebengebirges Claudia & Torsten Budde

My Sunny City Lienz
I thought I don"t need you
I thought I don"t want you
I thought you are replaceable
But you are not
I miss the smell
I miss the laughter
I miss your liveliness
I miss you as you are
My Sunny City
