HISTORY & CONTEXT
Eagle Blog
In this blog, you will not only learn about the development of the Lech Valley, where Maria Anna Rosa Knittel was born in Elbigenalp in 1841, but also how the valley escaped the unimaginable poverty that affected many mountain farming communities at the time and what shaped the life of this extraordinary woman. In addition to family topics, we also discuss the social and historical context surrounding Stainer-Knittel and the province of Tyrol.
