The Verein der Freunde der Landesgedächtnisstätte am Kreuzbergl in Klagenfurt aims to make the provincial memorial site increasingly visible and comprehensible as a place of historical, artistic, and commemorative significance.
The objective is to present the conceptual, architectural, and usage history of the Kreuzbergl in a scientifically grounded, contemporary, and multilingual form, thereby enabling a deeper understanding of the site’s significance. Through clearly structured information, digital and low-barrier interpretive tools, and improved orientation, the provincial memorial site is intended to be experienced as an open place of remembrance, education, and learning.
In this way, the association seeks to convey the cultural-historical importance of the Kreuzbergl in a sustainable manner and to responsibly develop its potential for knowledge transfer, education, and a sensitive form of cultural and memorial tourism.
The provincial memorial site on the Kreuzbergl is currently being researched scientifically and undergoing a conceptual reappraisal. The aim is to present the historical, religious, artistic, and commemorative dimensions of this site in a differentiated, source-based, and comprehensible manner.
The contributions envisaged here will be added gradually as soon as robust research findings are available and have been prepared editorially. The Verein der Freunde der Landesgedächtnisstätte am Kreuzbergl consciously understands this restraint as an expression of a responsible approach to history, symbolism, and commemorative culture.
