With the Brothers Grimm Poetry Professorship, the Institute of German Studies at the University of Kassel honors important literary, theater, film and cultural figures every year. In public events for students and the interested urban public, the poetry professors reflect on artistic processes and their own texts, films, theater productions, etc.

The series of events is accompanied by experimental media-aesthetic films and a series of publications published by Königshausen & Neumann.

In reference to the work of the Brothers Grimm, who lived and worked in Kassel, the guest professorship is also dedicated to those who experiment with media boundaries between the arts of literature, theater, visual arts and film.
