The paper focuses on two phenomena: on the one hand it goes into the reasons of myth-making in contemporary culture against the background of the desire for fairy-tale like heroines, princesses, on the other hand it analyses and interprets the scarce media response in some of the provincial, i.e. “Slovenian”, papers of the time.

Count Anton Alexander von Auersperg was born in 1806 in Ljubljana. He was a German poet who spoke Slovenian, and a liberal politician. In the pre-revolutionary era he wrote his famous collection of songs Spaziergänge eines Wiener Poeten, which in 1831 was published anonymously in German language. He was the first German-writing poet who published political songs before the Spring of Nations. When the court police found out about the authorship, he was ordered at a private audience with the chancellor Metternich either to quit writing or go to America.
