Peter Rosegger

Peter Rosegger (1843–1918) war ein österreichischer Schriftsteller und Publizist, der in der Steiermark lebte und zu den meistgelesenen Autoren seiner Zeit zählte. Bekannt durch Erzählungen aus dem bäuerlichen Leben sowie Schriften wie „Mein Himmelreich“, vertrat er eine undogmatische, naturverbundene Frömmigkeit, während seine deutschnationalen Positionen in der späten Habsburgermonarchie historisch kritisch betrachtet werden. Für heutige Bibelleser bieten seine Texte verständliche Impulse zu gelebter Nächstenliebe, Barmherzigkeit und Bescheidenheit.
