Field notes
The project frames the Brenner as both a geographic divide and a family matter: creator Benjamin Lechner says his mother is from Germany and his father from South Tyrol. Its research method is partly participatory, asking visitors for a name, place, or story and accepting submissions in Italian. The homepage presents a preview and links to the companion Gratwanderung conversations, while the main episodes are scheduled for late September 2026.
