Pub Note:
Burgenland (1921-1938) : Ein deutsches Grenzland im Südosten., by Hugo Hassinger and Fritz Bodo, published by Osterreichischer Landesverlag, in Vienna, 1941. Title translates to: Burgenland (1921-1938) : A German border region in the southeast. Bound in board with pasted-on maroon fabric and spine over red paper. With gilt title and spine title. Spine includes hand-painted symbols in black over a yellow painted rectangle. Volume is 128 pages, including a foreword by Hassinger, table of contents, 429 maps with nine diagrams and one view, as well as an individually bound 54-page text supplement at the rear of the volume. The atlas provides a description of the region with a range of topics such as topography, population, industry, and folk customs. Petra Svatek, of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, gives background to the work: “A multidisciplinary project of the "South-east German Research Association" with over 50 contributors. The work mainly involved scientists of the Vienna University, but also officials of the provincial government of Burgenland, teachers and amateur local historians. Moreover, it is quite evident that the evaluation of statistical data had been immensely stepped up for the production of this atlas if compared to earlier atlas projects; likewise, the methods used to implement the project had become much more complex than in the years before 1930. Publication before the National Socialist takeover failed on the one hand due to financial problems caused by the economic depression and on the other hand due to political differences. In fact, the atlas project was greeted with some apprehension, as it established links with National Socialist Germany and several project collaborators were NSDAP members. In autumn 1940, Hugo Hassinger and Fritz Bodo started to prepare a ‘Gau Atlas of Lower Danube’. Like the Burgenland Atlas, the cartographic work on the "Gau Atlas", too, was deliberately organised in a multidisciplinary fashion by involving numerous scientists from many different institutions and disciplines. The completed atlas was to be composed of approx. 120 maps; however, its publication was not possible during the National Socialist regime. Only a few sketches of this work have remained. But it is possible that a few preparatory efforts were integrated into the Atlas of Lower Austria.” Historical notes courtesy Petra Svatek, last accessed January 4th, 2025: https://www.researc…
