Society of Gottscheer Germans
From Culture.si
Contact
The Society organises a range of educational activities and cultural events in co-operation with similar associations (eg the Slovene Gottscheer Association Peter Kosler in Ljubljana and Mostovi-Freiheits Bruecke in Maribor) and with Slovene cultural institutions such as the Institute for Ethnic Studies. It issues the monthly bulletin Bakh ('The Path').
The Society has recently opened a 100-seat hall in the barn behind its premises and is currently developing a museum with financial assistance from the South Tiroler Provincial Government of Italy.
The Society's programme is financed mainly by the Republic of Austria and the government of Carinthia Province, but partly also by the Federal Republic of Germany and the Ministry of Culture of Slovenia. The Society is also financed from donations and voluntary work of its members.
