German
Dictionary of the dialect of
the linguistic island. The largest record of the spoken language of Gottschee, including a thorough study
of the origin of the words.
"With his Woerterbuch der Gottscheer Mundart, Dr. Walter Tschinkel provided
an invaluable service to German philology, specifically to the Austrian-Bavarian dialect geography. Early
on he made contact with the "Bairisch-Oesterreichischen Woerterbuchkanzlei" in Vienna and the bureau soon recognized
the significance of his work. Walter Tschinkel's work appeared as Volume VII of the
series Studien zur oesterreichisch-bairischen Dialektkunde, and thus continued the tradition of the "Imperial (as of
1867 Royal and Imperial) Academy of Sciences", in supporting those doing research on Gottschee." (Erich
Petschauer)

Intro: "In the beginning there was the
forest. Copper, beach and pine dominate the highland whose cliffs plunge to the Kulpa valley below.
Maple, spruce, elm, here and there groves of oaks and birches complete the picturesque setting of the expansive primeval
forest in Lower Carniola (Krain). The Counts of Ortenburg, old Carinthian nobility subject only to the
emperor, hold it in fief to the patriarch of Aquileia. No one is allowed to settle there without the permission
of the counts. For some time, however, they themselves have hesitated to settle this region, even though
villages, hamlets, and small cities have sprung up all around. ….. We are in the first third
of the fourteenth century, before the beginning of the German settlement which was to become the linguistic island of Gottschee….”

Estonians, etc.. Most of the books and movies that we are familiar with deal with the Holocaust.
There are few books and no movies dealing with the Catholic Land of Gottschee, a little linguistic island in the middle
of the former Yugoslavia, who, after 600 years of living in relative harmonie with the Slavic population, suddenly became
the subject of “ethnic cleansing” during World War II. The subject of this book is the history
of our people, and particularly my personal voyage and recollection of the events leading to the edge of extinction for this
small group, our determination and perseverance, and ultimately, human triumph….”

Intro:
"Even though the trip to Gottschee (Kocevje) was a year ago, it is as vivid now as when we were there.
This is largely because going to the ancestral "Laendchen" involved something approaching a sacred obligation.
Once there, we profoundly sensed the presence of our Gottscheer forebears who had labored and endured in a hostile
environment over the centuries. For some of us, our sojourn also gave rise to complex feelings due to the
region's recent upsurge in nationalism and to the fateful blow dealt the Gottscheers during the last war.
There was something unspoken, uneasy-making in the air. After all, like myself, several group members
