Vogler Fanfare

The Fliegerhorst Vogler Barracks at Hörsching, near Linz (Upper Austria), received its name from the pilot Walter Vogler. On June 15, 1935, he helped two passengers escape from a burning airplane before he died by crashing outside the city centre of Wels (Upper Austria). The "Vogler Fanfare" was commissioned by the Military Band of Upper Austria and its conductor, Dr. Harald Haselmayr, on the occasion of the 2012 inauguration of their new rehearsal room in those barracks.
