Robin WigglesworthHOST
Okay.
Robin WigglesworthHOST
Well, Sigismund obviously, as you mentioned, is, is atrocious with money, and he actually retires in disgrace in, in 1490, and he has to give up this, this Tyrolean silver mine.
Robin WigglesworthHOST
A- and then in 1493, Frederick dies, so the Holy Roman Emperor himself, and his son, Maximilian, becomes the new emperor, and he's a really important character in this story, right? Can you tell us a bit more about Emperor Maximilian?
Greg SteinmetzGUEST
Maximilian had dreams of, of greater things for the Habsburgs.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The head of the family, the Emperor Rudolf II, was Archduke of Austria, a name which in those days was used simply to indicate the Archduchy itself and not the group of territories which are at present ruled over by the Austrian sovereign, and he was also King of Bohemia and of Hungary.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
His brother Maximilian governed Tyrol, and his cousin Ferdinand ruled in Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The main difficulty of government arose from the fact that whilst every member of the family clung firmly to the old creed, the greater part of the population, excepting in Tyrol, had adopted the new, that is to say, that on the great question of the day, the subjects and the rulers had no thoughts in common.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
And this difficulty was aggravated by the further fact that Protestantism prospered mainly from the support given to it by a powerful aristocracy, so that political disagreement was added to the difference in religion.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Ferdinand had, indeed, contrived to put down with a strong hand the exercise of Protestantism in his own dominions so easily as almost to suggest the inference that it had not taken very deep root in those Alpine regions.

Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
For the moment, the House of Austria seemed to have gained everything by the execution or the murder of Wallenstein, whichever we may choose to call it.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The army was reorganized and placed under the command of the Emperor's son, the King of Hungary.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The Cardinal Infant, now eagerly welcomed, was preparing to join him through Tyrol, and while on the one side there was union and resolution, there was division and hesitation on the other.
Tim MaidesGUEST
And it's funny because, like, I've been meeting a lot of Austrians 'cause they, you know, they're right on the border.
Tim MaidesGUEST
It i- in fact used to be Austria between Tirol and Südtirol and how the border's split.
Tim MaidesGUEST
And so they, they come in here, and like, "Hey, where'd you get that name from?" And I hear the accent, and I'm like, "Where are you from?" They're like, "We're Austrian." So I start speaking German with them, and it's always fun to get a lots of, you know, a, a European perspective, we'll say.
Erica D'ArcangeloHOST
Very, very cool.

Regional news.

A guaranteed childcare place from the age of two in Tyrol, and live grenades found instead of mushrooms in the forests of Carinthia.
speaker_1HOST
All this and more right now.
speaker_2NARRATOR

speaker_1HOST
In districts such as Favoriten, the share of such children in individual classrooms reaches a record three-quarters, which means the language support program, Deutschförderung, demands entirely new approaches from teachers.
speaker_1HOST
Step outside the capital, however, and the linguistic picture changes completely.
speaker_1HOST
In Tyrol or Carinthia, the figures are substantially lower, and that is precisely what we turn to now.
speaker_6NARRATOR
If Vienna's primary challenge in schools is linguistic integration, the picture across the regions is highly varied.

Larry WilsonNARRATOR
Read for LibriVox.org by Larry Wilson.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
When of the crescent moon aware hung silver in the sky, See St. Nothburgis' sickle there, the Tyrol children cry.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
It is a quaint and pretty tale, six hundred summers old, When in the green Tyrolean vale the peasant folk is told.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
The town of Eben nestled here is little known to fame, Save as the legends make it dear in St. Nothburgis' name.
Larry WilsonNARRATOR
For in the quiet country place where a white church spire reared, Nothburgis dwelt, a maid of grace who loved the Lord and feared.
ClaireHOST
Had an entire week of really cool and lovely things like going skiing, having homemade goulash from my friend's grandmother, and a couple of other trips as well.
ClaireHOST
The day before I was flying back home, my friend took me to the Schwarze Silberbergwerk, the oldest silver mine in Tyrol.
ClaireHOST
Due to a slight mix-up with parking, we ended up arriving just after a tour group had left on the guided tour, and so we had to wait around an hour for the next one.
ClaireHOST
However, that meant we managed to have the last tour of the day, and also were the only ones on the tour that normally had around 10 to 15 people on it, given how many people were on the tour before us when they came back." Everything always works out.
SajidHOST
In If we want to learn, anyone who wants to learn acro maneuvers, for example, a helico or ultimately infinite tumbling or asymmetric sat or, you know, the basic maneuvers to the top maneuvers, is it possible in Vienna? And do you guys teach?
Johannes GlatzGUEST
I don't know about Vienna especially because we are in Innsbruck, which is in Tirol.
Johannes GlatzGUEST
I think there are many good safety courses around there where you can learn safely over the lake.
Johannes GlatzGUEST
If you don't have the chance to go there, I think there are very good pilots around there that can help you with a safe progression.

speaker_0NARRATOR
What they meant the Bavarian soldiers who held that mountain land with a hand of iron could not conjecture.
speaker_0NARRATOR
But what they meant the peasantry well knew.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Some Bavarian sappers had been sent to blow up the bridge of St. Lorenzo, but hardly had they begun their work when a shower of bullets from unseen marksmen swept the bridge.

JuliHOST
So, jetzt war das ja so, dass, ähm, Tom den zweiten Mann, ähm, akquiriert hat, weil ich gesagt hab: „Wenn ich das tue, werde ich den wahrscheinlich nicht wieder los und ich hab genug Männer und ich brauch das nicht." Und Tom hatte ja dann seine Ex Sylvie gefragt und die hat ihm dann den Südafrikaner geschickt.
JuliHOST
Das heißt eigentlich ein Mix aus Tiroler [lacht] und Südafrikaner.
JuliHOST
Und es war ja jetzt nicht so toll für uns.
JuliHOST
Die Massage hatte mir gefallen, der Sex dann irgendwie nicht so.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
It consisted of a collection of states, including the seven electorates, namely the three Rhenish archbishoprics of Mainz, Mayence, Trier, Treves, and Köln, Cologne, and the four states of Bohemia, Saxony, Brandenburg, and the Palatinate.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Other important members of the empire were the group of the Austrian dominions, including Austria proper, Tyrol, East Schwabia, Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola, then divided between three branches of the Habsburg family, and the duchies of Bavaria and Württemberg.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
These territories, which were already almost independent states, had all sprung from the larger feudal fiefs.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Their growth to complete independence is one of the chief features of German history of this period, for in face of their opposition, it seemed impossible to provide the empire with a strong government, and the Habsburgs in their family dominions themselves became the worst offenders against national unity.

Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
But when Charles arrived with crown and scepter for his expected coronation in 1473, Frederick III, whose habit was never to face a difficulty when it could be shirked, crept away down the Moselle one night, and the disgusted duke returned no greater a man than he came.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
A second chance never appeared, for Charles soon involved himself in the wars with the Swiss in which he fell.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Tyrol and Alsace, the original Habsburg inheritance in Schwabia, which had been pledged for a sum of money to Charles the Bold, were recovered by their owner Frederick III's cousin, who, being without an heir, presently handed them over to Frederick's son Maximilian, and Mary of Burgundy was glad to find a husband and protector in Maximilian amid the ruin of her father's fortunes.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Frederick had every reason to congratulate himself.
