Rund ums Walliserdeutsche
Overview
Intro
Insights from Volmar Schmid
It has many features in common with Swiss German and is spoken in Upper Valais (between Furka and Pfynwald, Sierre). However, it is not a uniform dialect and Volmar Schmid is an expert on Valais German. For many years he has been studying all possible aspects of the Upper Valais dialect. He gives us an insight into the local dialect and tells us one or two legends from the Aletsch region. Volmar Schmid was born in Ausserberg in 1948. He attended the teacher training college in Sion and then studied German (philology, modern German literature and Swiss history) in Fribourg. He worked as a primary school teacher in Visp, as a secondary school teacher in Fribourg and from 1978 to 2010 he was a teacher at the Kollegium Spiritus Sanctus in Brig. This is an event of the event series Culture meets Science.
