Biography

Bayr was born on May 22, 1919, in Linz, Upper Austria. Bayr was cultural editor of the Volkischer Beobachter[1] at a young age but later had a considerable career in the media of the Second Republic. Despite this burdensome past after 1945 he wrote, among others, for the Salzburger Nachrichten, worked as a lecturer and author at the Residenz Verlag, and worked from 1975 to 1984 as Intendant of the ORF regional studios Salzburg. Bayr was friends with Karl Heinrich Waggerl and actively supported the initiator of the 1970 Rauriser Literature Days, Erwin Gimmelsberger. Many of Bayr's works deal with the presentation of ancient themes.[2]

In 1956, he won the Laureate of the Academy of Sciences Franz Grillparzer Prize.[3]

Bayr has also emerged as a chef and restaurant critique. From 1970 until his death in 1985, he was a member of the Lodge Tamino.[4] He died on October 17, 1990, in Salzburg.

gollark: Unmitigated worship of him as the supreme overlord of mankind is silly, but so is claiming that he's useless and doesn't do anything.
gollark: Although he does do stupid things sometimes.
gollark: Oh, and he's partly behind OpenAI, which while kind of annoying in some ways is responsible for GPT-2 and GPT-3, which are *really cool*.
gollark: Tons of institutions and people are overly focused on maintaining the status quo, but Elon at least has interesting ideas and sometimes makes them work.
gollark: Hyperloop isn't exactly very great, but at least he's actually *doing things* which are interesting and could be useful?
