Remembrance in Lienz: kransupplösning hedrar offren för kriget

On October 31, a commemoration was held in Lienz, which commemorated the victims of National Socialism and the fallen soldiers of both world wars. This moving ceremony took place in front of the parish church of St. Andrä and was organized by the Hochgebirgs-Jäger Battalion 24. In addition to representatives of public life, traditional associations also took part, which gave the event a special note.

Colonel Matthias Wasinger, the new commander of the battalion, spoke of the significant responsibility that the army members bear, especially in troubled times. Hans ord siktade inte bara mot det förflutna, utan också på varningen för att bära historiens läror in i framtiden. "Not to forget the order in the Austrian Armed Forces inwards and historically and historically turns backwards - and in the future," he said during his speech.

Förberedelser och andra ceremonier

The day before, patrols of the high mountain hunter battalion had made an important contribution to the commemoration of the commemoration by lying off wreaths on the highest soldier's cemeteries in Obstan and high graves at the Carnian comb. These cemeteries are closely connected to the fights of the First World War and are reminiscent of the brave soldiers who lost their lives in these difficult times. Dean Franz Troyer, military pastor Christoph Gmalchl-Haer and the Protestant pastor Hans Hecht led the spiritual part of the ceremony, while the military music Tyrol provided the musical accompaniment.

The wreath's laying in the war chapel in Lienz and the Carnic comb illustrates how important it is to maintain the memory of the events of the past. Denna typ av fester främjar inte bara medvetenheten om historien, utan också respekten för dem som har offrat sina liv. Minnesfirande som detta är mer än bara ritualer; De är en del av det kollektiva minnet och ett tecken på utmärkelserna gentemot offren.
