Axel Springer Lecture Series on German Literature
Contemporary German literature: Original and Hebrew translation
In 2011, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Freie Universität Berlin signed an agreement for strategic cooperation. In the framework of the partnership, The Axel Springer Lecture Series on German Literature is intended to give new impulses to German studies at the Hebrew University. The lectures are held in English and deal with the most important German-speaking writers. They are given by prominent German studies professors from Freie Universität Berlin and other German and international universities. The Lecture Series on German Literature is being sponsored by the Axel Springer Foundation. The lecture was designed and is being coordinated by Prof. Susanne Zepp along with Prof. Anne Fleig (German literature) and Prof. Joachim Küpper (Comparative literature) at Freie Universität Berlin, in close cooperation with their colleagues in Jerusalem, Prof. Yoav Rinon, head of the School of Literatures, and Dr. Karin Neuburger. The interdisciplinary DAAD Center for German Studies and the Franz Rosenzweig Minerva Research Center for German-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem are also involved.
