The one who knows himself and the world
Finds out here as well
Occident and orient
Are no longer two

On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of publication of the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s landmark work West-Eastern Diwan, considered a cornerstone in the process of bringing Western and Eastern culture closer together, the German Literature Chair organizes a number of activities at the Faculty of Philosophy. The first one is an open lecture and discussion about Goethe’s Diwan by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Riedel, University of Würzburg. Prof.  Riedel will offer his own view and interpretation of this Goethe’s masterpiece, which was among the first in literature to create a model of bringing its own and the other one.

We invite all interested to attend this event. Simultaneous translation is provided.
