Curatorial context

The topic '1933, Dreizehnlinden' delves into the significant wave of Tyrolean emigration to Brazil, which began in the 1860s due to better economic prospects. The settlement of Dreizehnlinden, later known as Treze Tílias, was founded in 1933 by Andreas Thaler, a former Minister of Agriculture from Tyrol. This section highlights the establishment of entire Tyrolean communities in South America, showcasing a unique blend of alpine culture in a tropical setting, with elements like traditional attire and architecture. Despite facing challenges, including the expropriation of land during World War II following Brazil's declaration of war on Germany, the colonists eventually regained their property. Today, Treze Tílias stands as a testament to this migration, boasting one of the largest dairy operations in the country. The content also references historical newsreels from the Filmmuseum Wien, offering a glimpse into 'Tyrolean evening under the palms' from 1936.
