Hansgerd Schulte

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hansgerd Schulte (* December 21, 1932 in Simmern / Hunsrück ; † December 31, 2019 in Paris ) was a German German philologist . He belonged to the second generation of Franco-German post-war mediators who had made lasting merits in the field of academic and university cooperation. He was head of the German Institute at the University of Paris III (Sorbonne Nouvelle) and from 1972 to 1987 President of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Life

After graduating from the Herzog-Johann-Gymnasium in Simmern , Schulte studied German and Romance / Hispanic studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg . After graduating, he studied at the ENS in Paris from 1958 to 1961 , and then worked for six months as a lecturer for the German language at an agricultural college in the province before taking on a newly founded lecturer at the Institut Catholique de Paris . This background qualified him to head the DAAD's newly established branch office in 1963. In 1969 he completed his studies with a performance comparable to his habilitation and from then on taught at the University of Paris III. At his university he set up the Franco-German course in literature and cultural studies, the Études Franco-Allemandes , which was also attended by many German students of German and Romance studies who were able to take their license there in one year after the intermediate examination or shortly before the state examination still the maîtrise .

Schulte's research focus was modern and contemporary German literature. In addition to his career at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, he continued to head the DAAD branch in Paris for a long time until he was elected President of the DAAD in 1971. He held this office until 1987. In 2001 he retired from his university. He died in Paris in late 2019 at the age of 87.
