Alexej "Axi" Stachowitsch (

Russian author, pedagogue, songwriter, technician, one of the most important figures of post-war Scouting and Wandervogel in Germany and Austria,[1] and founder and first principal of the Werkschulheim Felbertal. Stachowitsch was a program director and journalist at the 7th World Scout Jamboree in Bad Ischl, director of the de:Nerother Wandervogel, co-founder of the independent Balduinstein
educational institution and founder of the Jungenbundes Phoenix. Meanwhile, it has become known that the castle Balduinstein has been the site of many acts of sexual violence against male minors since its founding and for three decades.

Background

Stachowitsch was professionally active in the field of

Red Cross; in the same year he was appointed honorary colonel of the Siberian Cossacks
. On 1 April 2013 he died in Limburg an der Lahn and was buried in the family grave at the municipal cemetery in Salzburg.

Scouting

In 1929, Stachowitsch joined the

Robert Baden-Powell. He became a group leader in the ÖPB, but this existed only two years until its forced dissolution in 1938
.

From 1945 on, Stachowitsch played a decisive role in the reconstruction of

Pfadfinder Österreichs, PÖ). He became provincial Scout director of Salzburg. The foundation of the Salzburger Jugendbeirats (Salzburg Youth Advisory Board) was formed in this period with his co-operation. He was an organizer for the "Camp of Friendship" in the Montafon
Valley in 1946 with German, Swiss, Austrian, French and Italian Scouts, the first camp of this kind after World War II.

In 1947 Stachowitsch took part in the

International Scouting Conference
and studied applied psychology and sociology in the United States through a scholarship. In 1950 he became one of the organizers of the first Wood Badge course of the PÖ.

Stachowitsch was a program director and journalist at the 7th World Scout Jamboree in Bad Ischl in 1951. That year he founded the Werkschulheim Felbertal in the de:Felbertal near Mittersill, and became the first headmaster.

In 1988, Stachowitsch was active in the organization of the Meissner camp. In 2001 he took part in the "50 Jahre Jamboree Bad Ischl" 50 year Jamboree reunion. After 2003 he was the recipient of the Goldenen Lilie (Golden Lily) of the Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs. This second highest sign of honour was canceled unanimously posthumously in July 2017 in a decision of the Federal Council of the PPÖ. Among other things, this decision was in response to a report about sexual assaults by Stachowitsch.

He was involved in numerous events, such as the "Augsburger, Würzburger und Rheinischer Singewettstreit" initiated by Scouts and bündischer Jugend in Untermerzbach.

Werkschulheim Felbertal

In August 1951 the 7th World Scout Jamboree took place in Bad Ischl. In previous years, the idea of founding a school in Berchtesgaden had circulated among the Scouting community. One month later the foundation stone for the boarding school Werkschulheim was laid in the Felbertal near Mittersill in the Salzburg Pinzgau region.

From the beginning, the aim of the school was to combine

journeyman's certificate. Scouting ideas such as the patrol as a unit and out-of-school learning
in project and experience weeks are still being carried out today.

In the Werkschulheim, the original Lagertor of the World Jamboree in Bad Ischl stands as a monument from the founding year 1951. In addition, the Werkschulheim has its own Scout group, which regularly meets there.
