OM Otto Molden 1945-2002 Otto Molden (1918-2002) was an Austrian publicist, federalist and author of various books about European identity and history. His father E. Molden was a diplomat, writer, Austrian opponent to Nazi-Regime and after the war founder of the leading Austrian paper "Die Presse". His mother P. von Preradovic was a poetess and wrote the Austrian National anthem. After having attended the gymnasium in Vienna, he read law and history and together with his father and younger brother Fritz he joined the Austrian Resistant Movement. In 1945 he founded the "European Forum Alpbach" where the ideas for a peacefully united Europe (cf. http://www.alpbach.org/) were promoted and discussed. From 1945 to 1960 and from 1970 to 1992 he was its president. Politically he was active for European integration by founding in 1959 Federalistic International (FI), which subsequently opened sections in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and other countries. He was also active in defending the independence of Taiwan by founding in the early 1970's an Committee for Chinese-European Co-operation. In the late 1990's OM reactivated the idea of a federalist European party by founding the European National Movement (ENM).

The fonds comprises mainly material concerning OM's political and federalist activities (correspondence, minutes of founding meetings and those of the statutory bodies, membership lists, publicity material (poster, banners etc), preparatory material for elections etc.).

OM.01 The Alpbach European Forum 1945-1995 The European Forum Alpbach was founded by OM and S. Moser by organising from 25 of August to 10 of September 1945 a meeting of eighty Austrian, French, Suisse and American personalities representing various facets of society, in the little mountain township of Alpbach in Austria. OM went back on acquaintances of his activities in Switzerlands as resistant against Nazi domination. The meeting represented the first international cultural event after the war in Western Europe and was from the outset conceived as an intellectual and cultural center for European integration and federation. Its influence in this field in the following decades in Germany, France, Switzerland and Austria was considerable. Since 1945, every year congresses and meetings take place and Alpbach has obtained an eminent role as meeting place of European integration supporters and actors by becoming a center of intellectual, political and economic work.

OM.03 Committee for Chinese-European Co-operation (''Komitee für Chinesisch-Europäische Zusammenarbeit'') 1957-1975 The idea to create up a committee to better inform Western Europe on the existence, politics and goals of Nationalist China arose during the various trips OM made to East-Asia in preparation for his

book "Zweikampf um das Gelbe Reich: Wer überlebt in Ostasien (Wien, München, Zürich : Molden, 1968). In October 1967 he was received by General Tschiang Kai Schek in his quality of president of the "Europäische Föderalistische Partei Österreichs (EFP)". Through the chief of the Permanent Mission of the Republic of China to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, ambassador Schobern Jü , OM contacted in 1969 the Director General of the Government Information Office of the Republic of China J. Wei. J. Wei agreed to create a sort of propaganda committee in Western Europe and was willing to contribute financially. As a follow-up to a trip to Taiwan in early 1970, a Sino- European Co-operation Committee was founded in January 1971 with OM acting as chairman. Its main points of work were to be publicistic activities, such as writing and organising for the publication of newspaper articles, translating, reproducing and distributing books and pamphlets, contact journalists and writers, organise lecture tours, TV and Radio broadcasts and finance and organise trips to Taiwan for selected personalities. In August 1971 a secretariat in Vienna was established and the Committee for Chinese-European Co-operation (as it was then called), took up work to "divulgate impartial information in Europe about China and try to gain free Europeans as potentially important friends of the Republic of China". It had close collaboration with M. Yeh from the "Frei-China Informationsdienst" in Bonn. In 1972 its budget amounted to ca. 270.000 US $. In October 1974, when J. Wei dismissed as director general of the Information Office of the Republic of China, the Committee had to end its activities with effect on 01/01/1975.

This Movement reactivated OM's idea developed during his life: to create a federalist European movement through the creation of 'sections' in Austria and other European countries. These sections should not have a national character, but represent the various ethnic, lingual and religious groups living in that particular Nation ("Volkssektion"). The statutes pursued the realisation of a federalist Europe based on the various cultural European identities ("Integration der einzelnen europäischen Volkskulturen (Bisher Nationalkulturen) in eine gesamteuropäische Nationalkultur"). It called for the creation of a unique European constitution and Parliament, inspired by the American Presidential system. The activities of the ENM began in March 2000 and consisted in a series of conferences and public speeches, such as a public rally in support of Ukrainian accession to the European Union.
