An Original (Hannah Kröll)
Lienz, my hometown,
I can only thank you.
You saturate me with impressions
and fill my thoughts.
Every time I"m 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 one does not 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.
Thanks to you, pictures are never scarce,
you fill all thoughts.

DECLARATION OF LOVE TO LIENZ
Declaration of love not to a woman, but to a city? Why not, if you know it very well, appreciate it, and therefore like it.
one is familiar with the surroundings. This includes not only a familiar atmosphere, knowing the streets, squares, and buildings, but above all, their historical background, which makes them come alive. man sich gut auskennt. Das bezieht sich nicht nur ein vertrautes Ambiente, auf das Kennen der Straßen, Plätze und Gebäude, sondern vor allem auch auf ihren historischen Hintergrund, wodurch diese geradezu lebendig werden.
If you look at the history of our city, you realize that Lienz goes back a long way and was also very important. Seen this way, we can be proud of our city! After all, for centuries it was the residence of a dynasty that could certainly compete with other noble families in Central Europe. A lot still reminds us of the old city wall, Bruck Castle, St. Andrä, etc. If you know about it, there is also a lot that reminds you of the citizens and the “little people” who were ultimately our ancestors: the fire alleys over which the “ “Schweizergassler” drove their cows to water at the Isel-Wiere - the house in which a mountain judge once had his seat - the house in which the man responsible for the city"s health service was highly deserving Dr. Schedler lived, where the historian Albert von Muchar was born - the house in which the important baroque sculptor Johann Paterer had his workshop, etc. Bad details are also part of the history of our city: Here is the house in which the catastrophic city fire of the 8th. April 1609 broke out or the house in which the Jew Samuel Bohrer had his business, which was “Aryanized” in 1938, etc.
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!

Lienz goes through the stomach
When too many people become 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 to keep the dough smooth. Then there are stories from grandma, from skiing and from Lake Tristach, and from the next time going home. And before you know it, 120 filled, pinched, and crimped doughnuts are ready. 30 go into the stomach, 90 into the freezer.
The Viennese everyday life had a break - but now it can continue.

Dear Marketing Team
I am 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 sits in our 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
Best regards to the sunny city of Lienz from Hilde Recklies from Lemgo in Germany

LIENZ. Memories. Transfiguration. Heart energy.
Life is a big playground. It all began back then. Here.
Lienz. We take a break. Stop.
Stop time. LIENZ. “The Dolomite Pearl”, there was a “Kandlhofer” drink that was called that. Or? Write a declaration of love? - Just like that. What comes to mind - quite spontaneously - about my own hometown? Lots of nice memories. I have known her for over 61 years. In keeping with the long period of time and due to the length of time spent on the planet, only a hazy fragment of fragments, a thousand headshots, a countless, perplexing recapitulation. In a staccato mess. From before. There are over 43 years between them. Between Lienz - then and now. "Dude, think!". It is – and remains – my hometown. This leap back in time and side brings heartbeats of youthful lightness. Youngster! Coupled with the naivety of back then. Long hair and a few pithy statements were enough to somehow attract attention. Smoke a little. Of course without chest pull. But it looked cool.
Thinking. Off. Resting. It was probably in the 70s.
We, the “boys” clique, four or five boys, went to business school. Despite taking an entrance exam for the HAK, I chose the easier path. Back then it was still the small building on Weidengasse. 9 boys and the rest of the class, 12 or 14 - were all girls. We, the boys, were overwhelmed. Yes, with them too. With growing up. Underwhelmed with the “substance”. And we have always coordinated who is allowed to stay in and out of school today. “Who can today?” - Vote. Then off to the “truant reserve.” In the legendary “Milk Bar” there was a jukebox, I think I still listen to “Mama Mia” and “Fernando” on constant rotation - by ABBA (although I was never a fan of the Swedes), and there was a pool table in the back area. Ball sports. There was the meeting point for everyone. Always. Anytime. The teachers could have easily found us “truants” if they wanted, all of us, but all of them were there. Otherwise - playing football at - ASV- Lienz, which no longer exists today. In the evening to the Central - to the "Almdiele" - everyone was there, "Traubenkeller" (with live music) further to the "Tumpf" with the "nightcap music" with the Schlager until the end. I lived on Haspingerstrasse. The street"s own football club was called “1. FC Haspinger 1809” friendly games against the Friedenssiedlung, against Thurn etc. A nice time for me. Lienz was clear, actually not at all provincial, open - geographically - to the south - drinking coffee in the grade with the first used car - B-Kadett, Lienz was culturally quite far, also thanks to the heart energy of “Ummi-Gummi”, Eberhard Forcher, the “ Heart Attacker" from the South Tyrolean settlement, our ally on the radio "To the Himalayas" - the world was wonderfully open to us, far from Innsbruck away, Spittal, Villach and Innichen, Brauneck closer. We, already tuned before Falco - like the “Young Romans”. And of course - we seriously thought "We are flying higher than ever" - Lienz, a little cocoon, not "real" Tyrol, not Carinthia, independent, enclave of the sun - the starting point, the starting point - somehow everyone here knew, not just from the age group. “Summer visitors” - young people of the same age from Innsbruck who were staying with their grandma on Haspingerstrasse, proudly told us (we called it “fotzgscheit”) something about “television” in color. And seriously believed that WE didn"t know that yet. Lienz was the rebellious south. Lienz was freedom. Lienz was sunshine. Freedom on all sides. Drautal, Iseltal, Mölltal - the world wide open. “Spirit In The Sky” – skiing. What a pleasure. Season ticket. On foot from Haspingerstrasse up to the Zettersfeld valley station. Or via the "Neureiter - Wiese" from the Schloßberg. There was also the “Kandlhofer” with his “ Lienz Pearl”. The way back was shorter there. The later, the future – where can I find work, what is really happening to me in life, not an issue yet.
Back there.
At the Iselkai, there was a small passage, overgrown, narrow - you came out at the Gliber pastry shop (I remember the - at that time - probably the best ice cream in the city). One of our professors lived somewhere in between. And, against all precautions, he simply saw us. “You sneaked past like Filopat and Patofil,” he later said. In Lienz the clocks were different, more contemplative, slower. And today? Today, many of my former “community” have disappeared in all directions. Emigrated. But I maintain that a “ Lienzer” always remains one. Linguistically recognizable. Not for the common listener. But professionals and locals know it - even after decades. Immediately. For me, Lienz is a particularly treasured gem. Who knows, if fate had meant it differently, I would still be where I am, but where I was born. That"s how I met my current wife (funny: from Thurn) at the "KorridorZugPendeln", got a job abroad, and for a long time always claimed that if the bank set up a money temple there, I would move to Lienz, too late, time shapes and deforms wishes and dreams harshly through reality. Today - during and after Corona, Lienz and East Tyrol have all the attributes and values that make up “home”, all the warmth and natural beauty that good hosts need after a crisis. Preserve and preserve. After. durability. Attitude.
They come in. The pictures.
From: Holiday work in the Lienz “Forstgarten”, in Aguntum - transporting gravel from A to B with the “Radlgrute”. One shilling per load. Whoever made the “dashes” per load got every second shilling. Three years at the “Großglockner” - correct: Franz-Josefs-Höhe - bus parking lot - “schnapps seller” at the Pichler grocery. Learn to “sell”. Federal Army - Franz Josef Barracks. It feels like pointless digging and filling of holes - felt throughout East Tyrol. Night marches. Overnight on hill and dale. Pop! Good night. Pure nature, home feeling.
The city is the starting point. For me. For everything around me. LIENZ. LIENZ. LIENZ that has a beautiful, colorful, friendly sound to me, brings up Mediterranean colors and many memories, interspersed with specks of special moments - with my parents, with friends, flashes of special experiences, everything forms a unity. LIENZ without "I" a Lenz. To have a "Lenz".
Coming together. Colorful images in the head. Mixed up.
Cross and across. Without years. 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: Written down. Even love can return. Ignite anew. Old affection awakens. I am curious.

More than just a city… here I found the second home that hugged me.Here, when I walk on the edge of the Isel river, I feel as I am on the banks of the Tigris River in Baghdad. Lienz - clear sky in summer and the breeze from the Alps and Goldfinch bird sound in the morning. It gives you the feeling that you are in heaven. And above all this one day here, I had met the most beautiful woman of my life. She"s gone away. But I always smell her perfume among the alleys in Lienz and that is why Lienz is more than just a city. From a foreigner with love.

WHY LIENZ?
Lienz is my hometown, where I was born and grew up. In my youth I was extremely critical of many things and that was how I felt about Lienz back then. The small town became too narrow for me and didn"t seem exciting enough. So I distanced myself from her and spent a lot of time abroad. After my return, I began to look at my hometown from a completely different perspective and appreciate its advantages. I found that this Lienz had a lot to offer: safety, security, even a special charm. The city is embedded in a beautiful landscape where you can take relaxing hikes and practice many sports. I am always enchanted by the southern flair of the city center with the lovingly designed flower arrangements and the tastefully renovated squares. In summer, the cozy outdoor cafes invite you to linger and when you stroll through the streets you will see that our shops can definitely compete with those in larger cities. Even if the many cultural and sporting events cannot currently take place due to the Corona crisis, it will only be a matter of time before it happens again. What does Lienz mean to me today? Very much. I feel comfortable here and I have everything I need for life here.

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 already one finds oneself 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 permanently, we have also been spending more and more time in Lienz throughout the year and getting to know more genuine locals. A straightforward, charming, and resourceful people. In addition, an honest, healthy, and fresh cuisine. The creative use of good ingredients from the region has captivated us for a long time. Well-made slip crêpes and a red Zweigelt rounded off with a Bregler or a stone pine schnapps – what more could one want. The hearty farmer"s loaf and the East Tyrolean bacon are also constant souvenirs to continue to savor a few more days of vacation in Lienz at home. Now we sincerely hope that this difficult time will soon be over for all of us and that we can immerse ourselves in the Eastern Dolomites world around Lienz again soon this year. 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

Beginnend möchte ich mich kurz vorstellen: ich bin ein 55-jähriger Österreicher, den es vor 25 Jahren der Liebe wegen und auch später der Arbeit wegen in die Tschechische Republik verschlagen hat. Osttirol, Lienz und auch den Grossglockner kannte ich nur vom Hörensagen. Der Hartnäckigkeit von Hrn. Kellner Hans und seinen Sportwagenfreunden Osttirol ist es zu verdanken, dass ich vor drei Jahren erstmalig am Sportwagentreffen „Feuer am Asphalt“ teilnahm und auch in den letzten beiden Jahren 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 each other again next year. Because once you have learned to love this unique setting and atmosphere, it is very difficult to do without it. Greetings from the Czech Republic! Rudolf and Katarina Hofstädter, Novy Saldorf, CZ-66902 Znojmo, ps-junkies.at

Where? Surrounded by mountains, trees and meadows, my sunny city of Lienz is magnificent!
Dear 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 afar in my memory. I have 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 always delight me. I reminisce about the past and wish that when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be normal again.becomes normal again. Normal, yes that would be it, but now it is 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. The design of the streets makes the steps of all people sound different, sometimes dull, sometimes elegant, sometimes barely audible, and sometimes very

WHAT CONNECTS ME TO LIENZIn 1957 I was born in Lienz. My parents had met in the district hospital. My father worked there as a junior doctor and my mother as a nurse. Later they moved to Dellach in the Drau Valley because a doctor was needed there.
I attended the Bundesrealgymnasium in Lienz for eight years. I graduated in 1976. Of the students in my class, I was the best in Italian. Today I am happy that I have a relatively good knowledge of this language, but also of English. Sometimes we went to the cinema and from time to time we had to “retell” the film content in German class. There is no theater in Lienz, but there are enough cultural offerings to suit your taste. Finally, a large city hall is available for various events. And, as in almost every village, there are singing clubs, a traditional costume band and similar groups to entertain locals and guests. During my school days, I went to the music school (at that time in the south of the city) once a week for many years to take piano lessons. Now I prefer to play the keyboard, currently I prefer “Ragtime” or similar music. Because of my interest in it and my good hearing as well as my talent, I"m very interested in music in general, also as a way to entertain other people, which is helpful and a welcome change for many in this "corona virus crisis time".
During a ski course organized by the school on the Zettersfeld, I was able to improve myself a lot in skiing. On some hiking days, we as students could enjoy many beauties of East Tyrol"s landscape, relax well, and enjoy the peace of nature. We had two gym classes per week at school. What I liked about it was the fact that we often played football (as long as it wasn"t too cold, outdoors). Above all, it was about having fun and enjoying the movement.
Since many important shops have closed in Dellach, I often take the train to Lienz to do 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 scenery, 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 the children. It is pleasant and relaxing to swim in Lake Tristach and to enjoy the sun on the meadow. Also,the swimming pool is very nice and that pleases every bather 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 rivers 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 to enjoy the rushing of the water, the fresh air and the sunshine, while we can also often listen to the singing of the birds.
In the city, there are plenty of opportunities for cycling, walking, mountain climbing, and so on. Relatively many facilities have been created for sports and other leisure activities. There are many shops in the city, as well as inns, restaurants, and cafes. What makes the stay there pleasant and the city popular is the fact that generally the salespeople and waiters, as well as the waitresses, are very friendly, nice, and helpful. At a certain restaurant, where I sometimes enjoy a (by the way very good!) beer, one day they gave me the Wi-Fi 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 cooking is done. 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 drink 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 also many interesting articles, letters to the editor, and good photos, especially in the "Sport" section. It may also happen that we find good suggestions for structuring our leisure time. Hobby enthusiasts are also not neglected (crossword puzzles, Sudoku, ...). We can often learn a lot about the "former life" in East Tyrol.

Dear Lienz !
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 at the beautiful places we were allowed to get to know in Lienz and the surrounding area. But not only the area, but we also got to know the particularly nice peoplewith their unique cultural and culinary delights.
We fell in love with you immediately, because as you know, we lack mountains around Lake Neusiedl! We hope to experience the warmth and the joy of being together, the great scenery, and the breathtaking atmosphere again soon. Best regards from Burgenland.

Lienz, oh Lienz
or
The town where they say “Griasti” and “Pfiati
Small and tranquil but also loud and colorful. Unusually quiet at the moment, they tell me. Always warm. The first keywords that come to mind when I think of my hometown of Lienz. I often get surprised looks when I tell new acquaintances about my origins. Wherever that is, my dialect sounds somehow Carinthian. And in fact, anyone who hasn"t by chance hiked through the Lienz Dolomites in summer or skied down our steep slopes on the Hochstein slopes in winter often really doesn"t know where East Tyrol is. The fact that our little gem can achieve fame beyond national borders is shown in an anecdote that my father likes to tell again and again: A long time ago, when he was traveling in southern England to study, he came to a lonely bus stop. There was only one young woman with him, obviously local, and to pass the waiting time she started a conversation in polite British fashion: “Where are you from?” My father, in a good mood, dared a little experiment and promptly replied: “From Lienz.” And lo and behold, the unsurprised young interlocutor replied: “Ah, isn"t this the place where they say “Griasti” and “Pfiati” ? Astonishing? Anyway! A single coincidence? Probably not! According to my father, a very similar story also happened in Sicily. Reproducing them here would probably give the context, but feel free to ask him about them the next time you meet him on the street or, more likely, on the way to school. And that is also what defines our license. You still meet people. You stop and linger. And people talk. How long Rossengasse can suddenly seem when you stroll through it on a beautiful spring day around Easter and meet an old acquaintance every five meters. Even though my life has taken me away from Lienz to the big city for a long time and a return is in the cards, I still enjoy spending a few days off here. Some of my old teachers from school no longer recognize me when they pass me on the street, because just as I have changed, the Dolomite city is also changing. Slowly, step by step, a little bit at a time. I know many corners so well that I immediately notice it when I walk around. There a new house, a new well or just a freshly painted facade. Always good topics when the conversation on Rosengasse turns into a stop at one of our many beautiful cafés. Will the main square ever be redesigned? Will the northern school collapse soon? And who is actually playing at the Tuesday concert this summer? And just as these conversations never get boring, things rarely get boring in Lienz. Hardly any small town can boast such a diverse program as ours. The summer and winter seasons are peppered with cultural, sporting and culinary highlights. The city is alive, sometimes pulsating, one would almost think. How strange it seems to me when I hear the current stories. Empty alleys, deserted squares, closed blinds. At the height of the crisis, only a few figures scurried around the corners. Yes, don"t attract attention, stick together, stay at home. Stay at home. Not a favorite discipline for Lienz. You feel too urban, too urban in this small town, which likes to compete with the world"s metropolises in its annual events calendar. Nobody likes to stay in their own four walls for too long. And so the latest easing of restrictions must also be a blessing, even if many things are still far from being back to normal. If it ever will be. But Lienz can do it. Because the creativity and ingenuity in this place is too great to be silenced in a crisis. I"m sure of that. And I"ll make sure on my next visit.

Dear Mayor Elisabeth Blanik!
2 years ago we came to Lienz through the fantastic sports car meeting Feuer am Asphalt.
There we met very nice 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 arrival through the Felbertauern tunnel and the breathtaking landscape already thrilled us before the meeting.
Through the trips 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 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

you"re not too good for anything.
You have experienced 1900 wars,
you have received 1900 blows.
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, yes for TRUE!

It harbors so many beauties,
that bring me joy.

and doesn"t let me go!

When I am missing you I close my eyes and picture myself walking through Hauptplatz straight to Rosengasse and further. I can see the many people strolling through the streets with smiles on their faces. I get myself an ice-cream from "Il Gelato“ - chocolate, of course, because Lienz is sweet. I can smell the flowers and I feel the warmth - it is a sunny day as usual. I love how they call you "Sonnenstadt" - kind of sassy but also classy. I love your many faces changing through winter, summer, spring and autumn. I have no favorite - I love all of them. Even bad days can get better - just by thinking of you.

Lienz, my love, the barberry bushes along the Isel, whose leaves we once chewed, almost dogmatically, 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, as so much was 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, farabove head high and countless 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, 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 guided 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 wrested. 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 them shading. The people, who here much more often give each other an enchanting smile and their kindness like a shimmeringmagic mist bank over all heads. The clouds, which gather near the Schleinitz into an initially grim face, but in the next moment widen the mouth into a broad smile, 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 moved away, in years and geographical distances, the closer to my heart this gem nestled in the exhilarating mountain world, benevolent and warm. It Connection with the delicate beauty of a city that lives, breathes, and warmly and heartily resists the cold of time, then as now - Lienz, I love you.
Robert Senn (Innsbruck)
Let me tell you, I miss you. Your streets, parks, shops, cafes, and above all the people. I miss how the sun warms me when I stroll through the streets as I used to. Yes, I miss it very much. But no matter how hard it is for me and no matter how tough this time is, one day we will meet again without fear and worries, just like before. #stayathome

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
