Abstract

With regard to sport organisation in Austria, sport clubs have been playing an important role from the very beginning. Due to the lack of recognition of the significance of sport in Austria's education system sport had to be organised by different means, resulting in the sport clubs setup. This chapter concentrates on the peculiarities of the development and situation of the sport club system in the context of political and socio-historical conditions. Today sport clubs enrich the social and cultural heritage of every region. Especially in the rural municipalities they contribute towards the safekeeping of local identity.
