Researcher Ulrike Kindl has been a teacher of German language and literature for more than forty years and has now been awarded the prestigious Cross of Merit by the Land of Tyrol during a ceremony at Merano Castle. The delivery, by the governor of Tyrol and the President of the Province of Bolzano, was hailed by the Mayor of Merano – the hometown of Kindl - as an important acknowledgment of his commitment in teaching, linguistic studies and the dissemination of knowledge about the history and traditions of the Alps in Italian and German-speaking cultures.

Ulrike Kindl donated his whole collection of texts on linguistics and Ladin culture to the Ca’ Bembo section of BALI, Ca' Foscari's Library of Foreign Languages and Literatures, last year. This has now become one of the most important points of reference in Italy for the retrieval of this information.
