Abstract:

The article discusses the concept of a cultural boundary put forward by the Austrian anthropogeographer Erwin Hanslik. Although it inspired a large group of Germanspeaking geographers, its creator was forgotten. The holistic philosophy of Hanslik and his distance to nationalism contributed to this, and it was not prevented by the innovativeness of the media he used. The scholar’s worldview was related to his biography and identity, based on his attachment to his native region and to the Habsburg monarchy, treated as a space for a multiethnic community shaped by nature.
