In 1994 he was one of the co-founders of the Institute for Text Criticism in Heidelberg. After completing his habilitation in 2003, he was initially a private lecturer , and since 2007 he has been Professor of Modern German Literature Studies at the University of Heidelberg , where he heads the master’s degree in “Editing Studies and Text Criticism”. Together with Peter Staengle , he is the editor of the " Historically-critical Franz Kafka Edition" and the "Brandenburger Kleist Edition". Since 2008 he has been an honorary professor for edition science at the Free University of Berlin . In 2011 Reuss was a visiting researcher at the Kafka Research Center at the University of Oxford .

Heidelberg roll call

Reuss is the initiator of the controversial Heidelberg appeal , which advocates “freedom of publication and the protection of copyright”. This is primarily directed against the digitization of copyright-protected books (especially Google Book Search ) and the compulsion to open forms of publication ( Open Access ) by scientific organizations. In a series of articles in the FAZ, Reuss expanded his skepticism towards Open Access in the sciences into a comprehensive criticism of the funding policy and organizational structure of the DFG .
