Life

[edit]

Coming from the Theresian Military Academy in Wiener-Neustadt, Feurstein was transferred to the Austro-Hungarian Army (2. Tiroler Kaiserjäger-Regiment) on 18 August 1906 as a commissioned officer.

He served in World War I and in the Austrian Bundesheer in the 1930s. He was commander of 3rd Division (stationed in St. Pölten). After the Anschluss and the incorporation of the Bundesheer into it, Feurstein served as a general in the Wehrmacht.[1]

He commanded the 2nd Mountain Division during Fall Weiss and during the Norwegian Campaign. In 1941, he was promoted to full general of mountain troops (Gen.d.Geb.Tr.). He also served on the Italian front in 1943.[1]

Feurstein was city commander of Bregenz in 1945 and tried to declare Bregenz a non-combat zone.
