Former PhDs write 'Festschrift' for Wolfgang Herrlitz

Von Eisbergen und ihren Spitzen. Spuren eines wissenschaftlichen Werdegangs
 

On the occasion of the 70th birthday of Emeritus Prof. Wolfgang Herrlitz (German linguistics), the 'Festschrift' Von Eisbergen und ihren Spitzen. Spuren eines wissenschaftlichen Werdegangs has been published. All contributions have been written by former PhD candidates of Herrlitz. The subjects are related to linguistics, didactics of linguistics and literature, intercultural communication, and their intersections.

On 7 June many of Herrlitz's 36 former PhD candidates gathered in the University Hall to celebrate his birthday and the end of his ius promovendi which lasted for nearly 40 years. Herrlitz was happy and surprised to receive the first copy of the 'Festschrift' that was written in his honour. He emphasised that he has greatly enjoyed his work as PhD supervisor, and that he has learned much from his students.
