Old farmer's calendar 2025

Styria possesses a treasure that no other country in Europe has. Nowhere else has a small calendar in book form, originally made for illiterates, remained almost unchanged since the mid-18th century until the present day. For centuries, it has also had its own name, namely "Der Mandlkalender." This name comes from the "Mandln," the half-figures of male and female saints that form the continuous sequence over the days of the month and weather signs. A hundred years ago, the poet Peter Rosegger, who hailed from the forest homeland, praised it in his book about folk life in Styria and introduced it to audiences in various neighboring countries during his many lecture tours. In some households, it used to be the only book that was renewed annually and reached the residents. An old farmer's calendar in book form with lucky days, zodiac signs, farming rules, planting times, and one page per week for daily notes.
