As was seen by you and your family the collapse of the great monarchy on the small Austria. What feelings you have had. What was the vision of the future, what did you think? It has - if I may say so today - made illusions. It has not taken it all seriously. For the Social Democrats are already acceded in Kufstein in the community. My father, for example, was in Tirol, the first Socialist city council. Not only local council, but he was the first city council. Everywhere, the Socialists moved into the communities and all natural as was the hope at the top ". Now we are going to change Austria, social democracy is so strong, we will build our state," That was the general opinion within the official circle of social democrats . but even within large groups of members of the Social Democratic Party and certainly not only in Kufstein in the political district of Kufstein, but in all of Tirol, in Austria It has indeed now really expected: "The war came to an end, now we will rebuild - but we will now change different we will remove the difference between rich and poor ".. That was the idea of the Social Democrats hope. But only the bottom was this thought. Up he has not prevailed. -
