Summary/Abstract: The contribution presents the life and activities of Ludwig Jahne. The Austrian biographical lexicon describes him as a chemist, yet the results of our research indicate that his efforts outstripped the context of the chemical science by far. Ludwig Jahne held the leading positions at the Blei Bergbau Union (BBU) and authored a considerable opus of prose and lyric works. He was also very active in several mountaineering sections of the Austrian Tourist Club, and mountaineers knew him as the author of several guidebooks to the Karawanks mountain range and the Austrian state of Carinthia. All of Jahne’s work attests to his love of nature, history, and the German nation.
