History and culture in contemporary Austrian and German travelouge literature

Putovanjem pojedinac stječe iskustvo i životnu naobrazbu. Iz pojedinca se stvara intelektualac koji upoznavanjem novog i drukčijeg može prepoznati vlastito. Povijest, kultura i nove obzore pronalaze se i u književnosti. Putopis je znanstveno-književna vrsta u kojem se opis puta, povijesti i kulture prenosi riječima putopisca. Suvremeni putopisci osim osvrta viđenog, donose načinom pisanja i svoja razmišljanja, vlastitu kulturu i enciklopedijsko znanje. Austrijanci i Nijemci jedni su od najvećih putnika, a njemačka je književnost jedna od najpolodonosnijih. Pisci i putopisci bitno su oruđe u podučavanju mladih o interkulturalnosti i jezičnih formi na nastavi njemačkog jezika. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Franz Pettler, Heinrich Noé, Johann Georg Kohl i drugi putopisci postavili su visoku ljestvicu koju Karl-Markus Gauß i Hape Kerkeling preoblikuju u modernu i suvremenu verziju putopisa. Hrvatska književnost svakako ne zaostaje, štoviše, u putopisnoj literaturi može se pohvaliti velikanima kao što su Miroslav Krleža, August Šenoa, Matija Mažuranić i drugi autori koji su ostavili traga u književnosti i pokazali put k novijem i boljem. Tim putom ide i hrvatski putopisac Davor Rostuhar. Ljudi putuju radi traganja za novim, uzbudljivijim da bi se vratili rafiniraniji, dok putopisci u svojoj samospoznaji na putu žele ostaviti čitateljima i budućim putnicima nepoznata mjesta, različite kulture i nove horizonte potpisane nacionalnim jezikom.Through travel, individuals gain experience and life education. From the individual is created an intellectual, who by getting to know something different and new, can recognize his own. History, culture and new horizons are also found in literature. A travelogue is a scientificliterary genre in which the description of a journey, history and culture is conveyed in the words of a travel writer. Contemporary travel writers, in addition to reviewing what they have seen, also bring their own thinking, their own culture and encyclopedic knowledge through the way they write. Austrians and Germans are one of the greatest travelers and German literature is the most fruitful one. Travelogues and travel writers are important tools in teaching young people about interculturality and language forms in German lessons. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Franz Pettler, Henrich Noé, Johann Georg Kohl and other travel writers have set a high scale that Karl Markus Gauß and Hape Kerkeling are transforming into a modern and contemporary version of the travelogue. Croatian literature certainly does not lag behind, moreover, travel literature can boast of the great names such as Miroslav Krleža, August Šenoa, Matija Mažuranić and other authors who left their mark on literature and showed the way to something newer and better. Croatian travel writer Davor Rostuhar is also following this path. People travel in search of something new, more exciting to return more refined, while travel writers, in their self-awareness along the way, want to leave readers and future travelers with unfamiliar places, different cultures and new horizons signed by the national language
