I attended the lessons of this professor in Innsbruck in the 1980s. He teaches
History of Law (Rechtsgeschichte). He is really good, he talks one's head off.

An overview over his publications: http://homepage.uibk.ac.at/~c30310/publikat.html

He is from Germany and so he looks at Austria from a sober distance. I remember
him saying, that the language of the Tyroleans west of and including Innsbruck is
closer to Alemannic than to the Bavarian-Austrian dialekts. Most Tyroleans are
not aware of that as they see themselves so close-knit to Bavaria and Austria. I
always felt, that the Arlberg is not this sharp linguistic border in the Alps,
not at all the border between Alemmanic and Bavarian-Austrian. It was good for me
then to hear that an expert shares the same opinion. Danke schön an Prof. Köbler.
