Brothers Grimm Poetics Professorship

With the Brothers Grimm Poetics Professorship, the Institute for German Studies at the University of Kassel annually honors important authors as well as playwrights and directors. In public events for students and interested citizens, the poetics professors reflect on artistic processes and their own texts, films, theater productions, etc. The professors are invited to present their work to the public.

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

The guest professorship is dedicated to the work of the Brothers Grimm, who lived and worked in Kassel, as well as to medial border crossers between the arts of literature, theater, visual arts and film.
