Eberhard Kranzmayer

Eberhard Kranzmayer (15 May 1897 – 13 September 1975) was an Austrian philologist, dialectologist and, prior to 1945, also ethnologist of the German language. Kranzmayer has long been considered the most important dialectologist of German in Austria, yet his roles in the Third Reich and his perspectives on German, surfacing fully in the early 2020s presents challenges for German dialectology.
