Karl Ganzer was a musical autodidact who had never received any musical training and never wrote musical notation until the end of his life. Music was in his blood. From a young age he joined musicians in restaurants with his Styrian harmonica and played with them. By listening and playing along, he acquired an extensive repertoire.
A monument was erected here on the Inn in his honor.
