Land sterben (land dying) refers to the giving
up of farming in remote rural regions due to economic pressure
in particular, where Austria borders the former Iron
Curtain.
Since agricultural society shaped rural culture this is
a major change for those living in the countryside.
It is a place in transition, which does not meet images
of idyllic tourist advertising.
