Last week, we brought another eventful academic year to a close. Thank you to all the students of German, colleagues and supporters of the Department!

Unfortunately, we also had to bid farewell to our DAAD Teaching Assistant, Rieke - we will miss her dedication, enthusiasm and valuable contribution. Dear Rieke, thank you for everything you have done throughout the year! We wish you every success and happiness for the projects ahead.

A nice and well-deserved summer break to everyone. We look forward to the next academic year!

This week, students and graduates of the Department of German, together with Dr Katrin Dautel, are participating in an Erasmus+ BIP summer school at the University of Cagliari on ‘Islands Narrations and Metaphors‘. In engaging seminars on classic and contemporary literature, film, visual art and cartography, discussions revolve around the cultural construction of the island as thought figure, islands and the environment and the significance of islands in history and culture. In addition, the group is exploring beautiful Sardinia during excursions, guided tours and visits to museums. Thank you so much to the organisers, especially Prof. Valentina Serra, for the excellent organisation! 🙂🙏🏻🏝️
