Thanks to the support of the Rotary Club Paderborn-Kaiserpfalz and other sponsors, the“Paderborn Visiting Professorship for Writers”and the accompanying programme of author readings in the ‘Contemporary German-Language Literature’ series at Paderborn University. Prof. Dr Norbert Otto Eke, who heads the Centre for Contemporary German Literature at the University and is responsible for organising the events, is delighted about the continuation: “This ensures that the University retains two flagship projects which are of significance far beyond Paderborn for North Rhine-Westphalia as a cultural hub and the OWL region, and which connect the University – and university research – with the wider community.”
In the winter semester of 2026/27, the renowned storyteller and translator Julia Schoch, who last year concluded her ‘Biography of a Woman’ with the novel ‘Wild nach einem wilden Traum’ (Wild After a Wild Dream), which was acclaimed by both the public and the press, will take up the 45th visiting professorship for writers.
