Summary/Abstract: The writers from the provinces of old Austria have earned only individually the interest of the literary science. Apart from the Prague School, only few German-Bohemian authors have crossed the threshold of recognition. With the scientific inclusion of the German-Moravian authors, one has cast an important glance into another literary landscape, although thus the writers from Northern Moravia enjoyed attention. The German-speaking literature of Southern Moravia awaits comparable research. One emphatically refers to the poet Josef Reif (1891 – 1971) from Brno as a lyrical author, whose work is highly respected by his contemporaries, but it has never been collected. A tightly-knit characterization of person and work requires a new starting point. A first list of published works is added.
