Gala Concert of the Original Tiroler Kaiserjägermusik at the Kursaal Merano The roots of the Kaiserjäger music date back to 1741, when military bands were employed for the first time. The official name “Kaiserjägermusik” was granted to the band on January 16, 1816, after Emperor Franz I issued a decree. The band’s history has been eventful: it was dissolved and re-established several times. On April 25, 1895, the former Tyrolean “Kaiser” Rifle Regiment was divided into four Kaiserjäger regiments, each of which received its own band. However, with the fall of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the Kaiserjäger bands also fell silent. In 1972, the Original Tiroler Kaiserjägermusik was revived by former military bandmaster Obstlt. Prof. Siegfried Somma. Since then, it has been recognized as a musical ambassador of Tyrol and has made a significant contribution to preserving Austria’s military-historical traditions. Under the direction of the new bandmaster Norbert Amon and with outstanding musicians from over 30 Tyrolean communities and in some cases even beyond the band has earned a special place in the local brass music scene and enjoys wide recognition far beyond the region.

The branches of St. Barbara have always been cut and preserved on 4 December. In the warmth of our living rooms, the closed buds of the fruit branches open even in the cold winter months and bloom until Christmas Eve. At the Christmas market, we distribute the branches in exchange for a voluntary donation, which goes to the OEW partner project ‘Vida y esperanza’ for marginalised schoolchildren in Bolivia.

Monasteries are becoming increasingly empty, and yet the longing for their peace and spiritual depth continues to grow. Life in seclusion, however, is also changing. In sixteen reports, author Helmut Luther offers authentic insights from behind monastery walls: he meets a Benedictine monk who practices karate, a former soldier engaged in interreligious dialogue, and a young Elizabethan sister who runs a podcast. Between silence, work, and prayer, we encounter people who have found a special kind of freedom and happiness in monastic life.

Helmut Luther:
Born in Merano in 1961, he studied philosophy and history in Innsbruck. His historical research and travels have taken him all over the world. He has published numerous travel reports in Die Zeit, FAZ, Die Welt, Süddeutsche Zeitung, and other publications.
