Dieter Borchmeyer (born May 3, 1941 in Essen ) is a German literary scholar and was President of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts from 2004 to 2013 .

Life

Dieter Borchmeyer is the son of Joseph Borchmeyers , politician of the German National People's Party (DNVP), and Bärbel Borchmeyers, née. Schulten.

He began studying German and Catholic theology in 1961 at the University of Munich . After the state exams and his doctorate , he taught at a Munich comprehensive school from 1972 to 1979 and was also a lecturer at the university's German department. After completing his habilitation in 1979, he took over professorship at the universities in Erlangen and Würzburg . In 1982 he was appointed professor of theater studies at the University of Munich. Since 1988 he has been full professor for modern German literature and theater studies at Heidelberg University . From 1991 to 1993 he was dean of the Faculty of Modern Philology. His time in Heidelberg was repeatedly interrupted by visiting professorships at numerous universities in France , Austria and especially the USA .

Borchmeyer is professor emeritus at the University of Heidelberg and honorary professor at the University of Graz . He continues to teach at Heidelberg University as part of the endowed lectureship on “Heidelberg Lectures on Cultural Theory”. From 2004 to 2013 he was President of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts . His field of work is primarily German literature from the 18th to the 20th centuries and music theater with monographs on Goethe , Schiller , Mozart , Richard Wagner , Nietzsche and Thomas Mann .

When asked "What is German?" He stated to @mediasres that "Political and intellectual Germany [...] never [was]".

Borchmeyer drew heavy criticism in connection with the invitation from Siegfried Mauser as part of a planned event to the Heidelberg lectures on cultural theory. The university refused to use the old auditorium, which was otherwise made available, as a venue, and the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung rode a violent attack on him and the co-organizer Thomas Hampson in the feature pages.
