Josef Mohr, assistant pastor in Oberndorf, wrote the poem Silent Night in 1816. in 1818, the song was to be performed for the first time with organ accompaniment at the Christmas mass in Oberndorf. That this did not happen and the people of Oberndorf had to be content with a guitar accompaniment was due to the fact that the organ in Oberndorf was broken and the organ builder Karl Mauracher from Fügen, who was known far beyond the borders of the country at the time, was unable to repair the organ in time for the Christmas mass. When he then came to Oberndorf at a later date to repair the organ, he returned to Fügen with the sheet music of STILLE NACHT. Since then, the song has been inseparably linked with Fügen and the Zillertal.
A fictional correspondence, which gives an insight into the lives of two great personalities and allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era, revolves around the efforts of the extraordinary assistant pastor Josef Mohr to bring the talented and successful organ builder Karl Mauracher fromFügen to Oberndorf.a piece of local history from Fügen, a piece of Zillertal history, a piece of Christmas musically framed by choirs, Klöpfelsänger*innen and brass groups.
Get in the mood for Christmas, for a quiet time, for the SILENT NIGHT.
