We look at **Saint Bartholomew,** who was not only roasted, but also had to watch as the married librettist Viktor Leon assaulted the lovely Risa before his eyes in 1897. It is also little known that Unterach was home to the **lovers** Eduard Boulenger and Philipp v. Ferrari, the **richest man in Europe**, were given a triumphant reception in 1892, with the parish priest and mayor present, at a time when Franz Josef's homosexual brother, Ludwig Viktor, had disappeared into obscurity in Salzburg. You can find out more about the background to this incident on our cultural hike. The **most famous work** written within Unterach's walls is Hugo Wolf's "Feuerreiter" and - irony of fate - set in the foggy, hard-to-heat giant villa, which the then owner Friedrich Eckstein graciously left to Hugo, who was seeking peace and quiet. Wolf knew Brahms was a guest at the nearby Berghof, both enemies because of Wagner. And between Berghof and Eckstein Villa the Katzenlotte house, where for generations child-rich small farmers, fishmongers and leatherworkers struggled to survive! This juxtaposition of rich people, artists, intellectuals, brooding people, "weirdos" and locals inspired Thomas Bernhard to write his wonderful novella "Die Mütze", which is set in Unterach and accompanies us on our hike. But the pre-tourist era has also left interesting traces that are easily overlooked; for example, how did how did the coat of arms of the Salzburg Alt family, from which the famous Salome Alt originated, come to have the honour of adorning the Unterach coat of arms?
