Brucknerfest ::: Festredner ::: Brucknerhaus Linz / Austria

Keynote speakers of the Brucknerfest from 1977 to 2011

Ludwig Adamovich is the Keynote Speaker at the 2011 Bruckner Festival

Ludwig Adamovich, a legal scholar who enjoys confrontation and does not shy away from conflict, will open the 2011 Bruckner Festival.

Keynote speaker Ludwig Adamovich was Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Austria from 1984 to 2002. Unaffiliated with any party, he has earned the admiration and respect of legislators across the political spectrum. His Weltanschauung can be circumscribed by the terms “Whig” and liberal, conservative and Catholic. In recent years, he has made a name for himself as a vociferous critic of the investigation into the abduction and captivity of Natascha Kampusch, and he headed the commission that looked into the handling of this case. His clearly and openly enunciated criticism did not garner him unanimous approbation, but he remained steadfast on the course he has pursued throughout his life: seeing to it that justice prevails in the end. To achieve this, the simplest way is seldom the most successful.
