The story of Nanga Parbat is long and multifaceted. It was often personified as implacable and unapproachable. Attempts to climb it were made as early as the 19th century. Between the First and Second World Wars it was named the 'mountain of destiny for the Germans' and abused by National Socialist propaganda. The best mountaineers lost their lives in large numbers. In the 1950s, the decade of the first ascents of 8,000m peaks, "Nanga" also fell. Its first climber, the unforgettable Hermann Buhl, would have celebrated his 100th birthday in 2024. This story from a long-forgotten time up to the days of modern mountaineering is dedicated to him.
Die Geschichte um den Nanga Parbat ist lang und facettenreich. Oft wurde er als unnahbar und unerbittlich personifiziert. Schon im 19. Jahrhundert gab es Versuche, ihn zu besteigen. Zwischen dem Ersten und dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde er zum "Schicksalsberg der Deutschen" ernannt und von der nationalsozialistischen Propaganda missbraucht. Die besten deutschen Bergsteiger ließen in hoher Zahl ihr Leben. In den 1950er-Jahren, dem Jahrzehnt der Achttausender-Erstbesteigungen, fiel auch der "Nanga". Sein Erstbesteiger, der unvergessene Hermann Buhl, hätte 2024 seinen 100. Geburtstag gefeiert. Ihm ist diese Geschichte aus lang vergessener Zeit bis in die Tage des modernen Bergsteigens gewidmet.
