The European Forum Alpbach was founded by OM and S. Moser by organising from 25 of August to 10 of September 1945 a meeting of eighty Austrian, French, Suisse and American personalities representing various facets of society, in the little mountain township of Alpbach in Austria. OM went back on acquaintances of his activities in Switzerlands as resistant against Nazi domination. The meeting represented the first international cultural event after the war in Western Europe and was from the outset conceived as an intellectual and cultural center for European integration and federation. Its influence in this field in the following decades in Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria was considerable.
Since 1945, every year congresses and meetings take place and Alpbach has obtained an eminent role as meeting place of European integration supporters and actors by becoming a center of intellectual, political and economic work.
The files present in this subfonds consist in a collection of press cuttings and speeches given by OM and a file listing events held in Alpbach from 1945 onwards.
