You definitely know these famous Austrians. But did you know that they come from Burgenland?
It may not be as star-studded as in Hollywood, for example, but Austria also has its own celebrities. Some But people could only become famous in Austria. Although: There are enough counterparts to Richard Lugner in America.
But don’t think that it’s only celebrities in Austria Vienna or federal states that have something to do with winter sports. Today we’re taking a look at a few people who come from beautiful Burgenland. Because in Burgenland is not only home to great natural wonderswhich you can watch, but also a few celebrities:
1. Thomas Stipsits
Ok, strictly speaking, Thomas Stipsits was actually born in Styria. However, the cabaret artist and actor has Burgenland roots and comes from Stinatz. We think that counts a bit, so he deserves a place on this list. Stipsits has now also become a crime writer.
2. The Resetarits Brothers
Although the brothers Willi, Peter and Lukas Resetarits are somehow associated with Vienna, the three actually come from Burgenland. Even from the same town as Thomas Stipsits, namely Stinatz. Although all three of them pursued different careers – Lukas, the cabaret artist, Willi, the musician, and Peter, the lawyer – all three were always united by their social conscience.
Willi Resetarits, also known as Ostbahn-Kurti, died in 2022. We are remembered here seven of his best lines.
