It was a wonderful event! On 3 June, we celebrated our department’s 150th anniversary with over 350 guests in total, carrying on the celebrations until late in the evening. Under the theme ‘Historical academic cultures in and beyond Göttingen’, lecturers from our department explored milestones in Göttingen’s historical scholarship through a series of talks. The highlight of the evening was the inaugural lecture by Prof. Dr Kathrin Klausmeier.
Our heartfelt thanks go to all the visitors and everyone involved who, through their dedication both on stage and behind the scenes, ensured that we can look back on this day with great joy!

The new colloquium schedules for the coming semester will be published here at the start of the 2026/27 winter term. Students, lecturers and anyone else interested are once again warmly invited to attend the sessions.
