Peter Rosegger

Peter Rosegger (1843-1918) was born into a family of mountain peasants at Alpl, in Styria, and became an itinerant tailor, too weak for farm work. The stories he sent to a Graz newspaper caught the attention of an editor, and the help of patrons opened the city's commercial school to him. In 1876 he founded a popular monthly magazine, which his son later took over, and he had a forestry school built by subscription for the children of Alpl, opened in 1902, as well as a Protestant church at Mürzzuschlag. He died at Krieglach.
