was a pioneer in this area. He didn’t just take pictures
for his buyers though, in hundreds of thousands of
photographs he also documented his deep, traditional
roots in the mountains as well as this peculiar region.
The results include impressive mountain and lanscape
photographs of the regions around Arlberg, Flexen,
and Hochtannberg Pass which he usually took during
his mountain and ski tours. They date back to the time
before WWI and the interwar period. A historic treasure,
which, because of its topic and dimension, was
particularly suitable for the funded interreg-project –
the creation of a virtual historic forum with aspects of
winter sports in the respective regions. The association
Foundation Friends of Hannes Schneider has tackled
the editing of the Heimhuber family’s photographs in
this context.

Open-air exhibition in Stuben am Arlberg
The open-air exhibition with motifs from the Heimhuber
collection opens just in time for the start of the
winter season. Large-format pictures with illustrative
information and matching literary quotes invite all
those who are interested to dive into the 140-year history
of the entire village. In Warth and Hochkrumbach
the motifs from the Heimhuber archive create
the ideal framework for making the development of
the villages over the course of the past century visible.
On the initiative of the Foundation Friends of Hannes
Schneider the coming weeks will also see the publication
of a picture book titled “Sichtbar” (=visible) by
Lorenzi publishers, which contains photographs
taken by mountaineer and landscape photographer
Eugen Heimhuber between 1900 and 1930. The motifs
range from Stuben am Arlberg to St. Anton, Zürs and
Lech, all the way to Warth. And they contain interesting
pictures of the roads across Flexen and Arlberg
Pass. The picture book will be published at the end of
February, a presentation will take place in Stuben am
Arlberg in March.
