As 80 to 90% of South Tyroleans opted to emigrate, a deep emotional rift ran through society, dividing families and friendships. The emigrants and the Dableiber faced each other with great incomprehension: Each side considered the other to be traitors: some betrayed their homeland, others their culture. By 1943, 75,000 South Tyroleans had emigrated and were mainly accommodated in Austria in the so-called South Tyrolean settlements. One of these is the subject of this current art in architecture commission in Kufstein.<\/p><p class=\\\"_InterBold\\\">The geranium, which is popularly known as the \u201cburning love\u201d and still adorns many courtyards and houses in South Tyrol and Tyrol today, became a symbol of their respective movements for both the Dableiber and the Optanten. For the Dableiber, the geranium became a symbol of their identity and was hung in front of the windows as a flower of resistance. For the Optants, the flower became a symbol of longing and an image of pain and loss and was intended to provide comfort against homesickness in a foreign country.<\/p><p class=\\\"_InterBold\\\">By placing the geranium blossom on the central square in the middle of the South Tyrolean settlement, a new beginning can take place without blotting out the past. It is intended to stand there with dignity, as if it were a matter of course and completely free of value. It is not a mature blossom, but rather the image of a delicate bud that will soon open, which has already burst open a little in one place. Any kind of discussion and communication requires a sensitive counterpart. If the communicators treat each other with respect and a sense of awareness of each other\u2019s vulnerability, the discussion can succeed and enrich everyone involved. The flower needs time and, above all, warmth, water and light. Then it can become a mature flower and bear fruit in the form of seeds.

As 80 to 90% of South Tyroleans opted to emigrate, a deep emotional rift ran through society, dividing families and friendships. The emigrants and the Dableiber faced each other with great incomprehension: Each side considered the other to be traitors: some betrayed their homeland, others their culture. By 1943, 75,000 South Tyroleans had emigrated and were mainly accommodated in Austria in the so-called South Tyrolean settlements. One of these is the subject of this current art in architecture commission in Kufstein.<\/p><p class=\\\"_InterBold\\\">The geranium, which is popularly known as the \u201cburning love\u201d and still adorns many courtyards and houses in South Tyrol and Tyrol today, became a symbol of their respective movements for both the Dableiber and the Optanten. For the Dableiber, the geranium became a symbol of their identity and was hung in front of the windows as a flower of resistance. For the Optants, the flower became a symbol of longing and an image of pain and loss and was intended to provide comfort against homesickness in a foreign country.<\/p><p class=\\\"_InterBold\\\">By placing the geranium blossom on the central square in the middle of the South Tyrolean settlement, a new beginning can take place without blotting out the past. It is intended to stand there with dignity, as if it were a matter of course and completely free of value. It is not a mature blossom, but rather the image of a delicate bud that will soon open, which has already burst open a little in one place. Any kind of discussion and communication requires a sensitive counterpart. If the communicators treat each other with respect and a sense of awareness of each other\u2019s vulnerability, the discussion can succeed and enrich everyone involved. The flower needs time and, above all, warmth, water and light. Then it can become a mature flower and bear fruit in the form of seeds. In this context, I see the geranium flower as a symbol of hope, the willingness of all those involved to engage in open, sensitive and unbiased dialog and an awareness of the tenderness and vulnerability of the other person.<\/p>\",\r\n      \"align\": \"bottom\",\r\n      \"row\": 2,\r\n      \"col\": 0,\r\n      \"colspan\": 1,\r\n      \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n      \"offsety\": 0,\r\n      \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n      \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n      \"yvel\": 1,\r\n      \"push\": 0,\r\n      \"relid\": 12,\r\n      \"absolute_position\": false\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      \"type\": \"text\",\r\n      \"cont\": \"<p class=\\\"_InterBold\\\" style=\\\"text-align: right;\\\"><a class=\\\"laynextproject\\\" href=\\\"#laynextproject\\\">\u27f6<\/a><\/p>\",\r\n      \"align\": \"middle\",\r\n      \"row\": 3,\r\n      \"col\": 0,\r\n      \"colspan\": 1,\r\n      \"offsetx\": 0,\r\n      \"offsety\": 0,\r\n      \"spaceabove\": 0,\r\n      \"spacebelow\": 0,\r\n      \"yvel\": 1,\r\n      \"push\": 0,\r\n      \"relid\": 9,\r\n      \"absolute_position\": false\r\n    }\r\n  ]\r\n}","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gabrielaoberkofler.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
