Culture of Austria
The origins of present-day Austria can be traced back to prehistoric
times. The Danube River valley was populated as long ago as
the Paleolithic Age (50,000 B.C.E.-8000 B.C.E.). Austria was
inhabited by Celtic peoples from prehistory until it fell under
Roman control in the first century B.C.E. By the late second
century C.E., peoples such as the Slavs, Germans, Huns, and
Bohemians began to raid Austria. Christianity, which became
the official religion of the Roman Empire, had become established
in the region by the end of the fourth century.
Austrians call their country Osterreich (eastern empire). The
name dates to about C.E. 800, when Charlemagne, emperor of the
Germanic Franks, took control of the region, naming it Eastern
March because it was meant to stem invasions by marauders from
the east. (A march is a protective zone set up to defend a border
area.) In the tenth century, German king Otto I named it Ostarichi
(eastern kingdom), from which the modern German name, Osterreich,
derives. The Latin name, Austria, had appeared by the twelfth
century.
Nine provinces comprise Austria. Because the country is landlocked
and bordered by eight other countries with their own distinctive
cultures, the people of each province tend to be different.
Surrounded by so many other cultures, Austria has often been
subjected to cultural "invasions," which are a source
of the differences among the provinces. Another source of the
diversity is the Alps, which cover 62 percent of the country.
The distinctions also occurred because different groups settled
in Austria. In addition to the Celts, Romans, Asians, Hungarians,
and Germanic groups, many groups from central Europe arrived
during the Middle Ages (500-1500).
With the advent of Communism in Eastern Europe, many people
fled to Austria from the former Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
Despite pronounced provincial differences, however, the people
of Austria are proud of their country and their independent
identity as Austrians.
