Anton Adner was born in 1705 he lived in the area of Berchtesgaden, he led a simple life as a wood carver who made and sold wooden toys and kitchen spoons to sell to the farmers and salt miners not only in the valleys and mountains of Bavaria but also Austria and Switzerland. It was not until he reached the grand old age of one hundred he finally laid his splinter boxes aside. In the year 1817 at the age of 112 he met with King Maximilian l in Munich where he travelled by car and had his first theatre visit - the King was impressed with this man's tanacity for life and work - he had a portrait painted of Anton which you can see a copy of in the town's museum - the original was destroyed during bombing. Anton Adner died on the 15th. March 1822 a simple trader who proved hard work never hurt anyone. I was both surprised and delighted to discover his tomb stone in the Franzis Kaner kirk yard where I too could pay tribute to the Holztrodler.

i love the picture at the beginn this website (Kehlsteinhaus), at the top of the mountain! It is a great view to the landscape! | alancollins Thu Aug 13, 2009 16:56 UTC
I was working out that I have been to the Kehlsteinhaus 6 times, the last time, I tried the walking option. It hurts just as much coming down as it does going up. | kyoub Sat Apr 11, 2009 14:55 UTC
Excellent photo of the Eagle's nest. The views from up there must have been amazing. Sorry the tour was not the best. | christine.j Fri Sep 12, 2008 07:10 UTC
This page brings back memories, both good and not so good ones. I love hiking in this area, but I didn't like having to repair our car with a wired coat hanger at the parking lot of Kehlsteinhaus. |
