Twenty-five years of Schladming Winter School 1. The Start
Twenty-five years ago P. Urban had the idea of organizing a winter
school in the Austrian mountains. The very concept of a school was
not new: to bring physicists together in an environment which
differs totally from the daily world of institutes and
laboratories, to contrast hard classroom work in lectures by
distinguished speakers with a relaxed atmosphere, to provide
opportunities for entering newly developing fields and exchanging
ideas, all this had already resulted in a few summer schools in
southern Europe and the US. The idea of combining physics with
skiing rather than swimming was, however, new. After some sampling
by a few younger members of Ur ban's group, Schladming was selected
as an appropriate place. At that time skiing was not very much
developed here; there were few lifts, but a road to Hochwurzen and
a regular bus service opened at least one longer track. The first
meeting took place in a classroom of the local school, w here some
40 participants were squeezed into benches designed for children.
In the next year we moved into the dining hall of a small inn,
which does not exist any more (an attempt to serve beer during the
lectures was stopped by the orga nizing committee). Only in later
years did we find a permanent home here in the Stadtsaal."
