“…In tourism enterprises, for instance, it can be observed that the younger generation after takeovers in family enterprises, not least through their partners, who are not burdened by tradition, finds it easier to implement innovations than their parents' generation. This was confirmed by various results of research on regional development processes (Heintel, 2012) and the statements of the interviewees in Pörtschach concerning the chances and risks of new ideas brought in by "new forces".…”

“…From the temporal distance of over a hundred years one might ask how is it possible to make reasonable municipal policy in such a constellation, But the question is relevant also in present times: How successfully can local politicians act, given only a vague idea of what might be the common good and within the tensions between individual interests, occasionally founded upon economic power? The history of Wahliß and his activities shows that doing local politics, especially in smaller communities, is a very difficult level of political engagement and mayors who are often exercising their functions advocationally, at best need to possess diverse skills and a high (also emotional) endurance and a thick skin (Heintel, 2012). In addition to the complexity of many issues that requires expertise and routine in dealing with specialized knowledge of various origin, topics nowadays tend to become increasingly more difficult to manage because of the interdependencies regarding contents and institutional contexts.…”

On the basis of a research project on the history of the china manufacturer and touristic entrepreneur Ernst Wahliß, who lived and was active in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the late nineteenth century, the article reflects how interdisciplinary cooperation between historical science and an interventionoriented social science in the framework of transdisciplinary research design can lead to scientifically interesting results and social impact in a local community. This contribution follows two objectives: the first point of emphasis is being placed on the content side of the aforementioned research project. The results of the historical research are presented and their connection to relevant topics today is discussed. As a second point, this article provides methodological descriptions and reflections regarding the project. In the introduction, the historical starting point and the interand transdisciplinary aims of the project are delineated. In section two and three an insight into the theoretical basis and methodical approach of the research is provided. In section four central results elaborated by the interdisciplinary team are reported. The story of Wahliß certainly has to be considered in its specific historical and local context, but it also incorporates "universal" aspects, such as investment and enterprising actions as an instrument of intervention into social systems,
