HBC will archive brief accounts by Austrian boys are other boys in Austria here.
I have spend a few time of my life in Austria. I have many fond memories. It's quite easy to remember when one looks again photos and film . In Wiena (Vienna) they had a official service which used a camera 16mm I saw them 20 years ago at the SCA some period of 1952-1954 I had been altarboy (Chorknaben). We wore (eine Albe), a sort long dress with a rope at the waist. I remenber very well of my admiration for the singerboys--Vienna Choir Boys. People called them Sängerknaben in Austria. At this time they wore sailor suit
blue long pants, Some times they came at Stefandom [I'm not sure what this is.].
Concerning the leather pants (lederhosen). There were not many Austrian boys wearing lederhosen when I was in Vienna during the early 1950s. The boys I knew that wore lederhosen called them "Tyro'kluft". Most Austria boys wore short pants. On Sunday they
often wore a typical jacket grey/green with short pants and keesocks. Details on this boy's life in France is available at Alan.
A French reader tells us about a friend in Austria that had French-Austrian parents. He grew up in the Soiviet occupation sector after World War II and wore both French and Austrian clothes.
