Welcome to Faculty 10: Linguistics and Literary Studies

Amid subway signage, Stolpersteine memorial plates, art installations, and Micha Ullmann’s "The Library", students from Bremen, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Ingo H. Warnke, learn to read traces of meaning in typography, architecture, materiality, and even absence.

PD Dr. Barbara Aehnlich received the Berninghausen Prize in 2025 and talked to us about her teaching philosophy. Teaching staff members at the University of Bremen can still be nominated for this year’s Berninghausen Prize until July 30, 2026.

On 7th May 2026, Dr. Anna Dlabačová from Leiden University captivated an interested audience with her lecture "Dutch Hours. The Vernacular Life of the Book of Hours in the Low Countries", taking them on a journey into the multifaceted world of late medieval books of hours.

On June 24, 2026, an information session for students was held at the University of Bremen. Of course, faculty 10 was also there to present its studying programs.

From early childhood teacher to German Studies master’s student: Jasmin Lanz tells us why she felt at home at the University of Bremen from the start and how she balances student life with volunteering and caregiving responsibilities.
