Notburga je zavetnica malih in neopaznih. Zanj je pomembna tako ljubezen do boga kot bratska ljubezen. Je zavetnica Tirolske.

Njeno ime, sestavljeno iz nemških besed "Not" (kriza) in "Burga" (zavetje), ponuja zaščito v težkih časih.

 Patroness of poor peasants and servants in the Tyrol. Born in Rattenberg, in the Tyrol, she was the daughter of peasants. At eighteen she became a servant in the household of Count Henry of Rattenberg When Notburga repeatedly gave food to the poor, she was dismissed by Count Henry’s wife, Ottilia, and took up a position as a servant to a humble farmer. Meanwhile, Henry suffering a run of misfortune and setbacks, wasted no time restoring Notburga to her post after his wife died. Notburga remained his housekeeper for the rest of her life, and was famous for her miracles and concern for the poor. Although long venerated in the western and Adriatic parts of the Austrian Empire, Notburga was never officially canonized. In March 1862, however, Pope Pius IX formally confirmed her ancient cult and her saintly title.

Novy Lili 24.12.1885 - 7.3.1958
Pesnica in prevajalka Lili Novy  po materi Slovenka, po očetu pa nemškega rodu, je bila rojena v Gradcu. Od tam so se preselili v Ljubljano. Sprva je pisala nemško poezijo in se najprej uveljavila kot odlična prevajalka Prešerna v nemščino, in obratno, Goetheja v slovenščino. Pod vplivom slovenskega okolja, še posebno ob sugestivnosti Gradnikove ženske erotične poezije, pa je začela pesniti tudi v slovenščini. Njene pesmi so doživljajsko močne, jezikovno in oblikovno pa do vseh potankosti dognane. Ko je izšla njena pesniška zbirka Temna vrata (1941), so na vseh straneh po Evropi že bobneli topovi velike vojne.

The poetess and translator, Lili Novy  whose mother was Slovene and father German, was born in Graz. She came to Ljubljana and settled in the old part of the town. At first she wrote German poetry, and is still considered an excellent translator of Preseren into German, and of Goethe into Slovene. Influenced by the Slovene environment, especially the suggestibility of Gradnik's female erotic poetry, she began also to write poetry in Slovene. Her poems are adventurously powerful, in language, form and every detail. When her collection of poetry "Dark Doors" (1941) was published, the cannons of the great war were already thundering.
