Important notes on ger231 (AM 3)
Dear students,
The medieval studies advanced module ger231 ('Ältere deutsche Literatur und Sprache') always runs for a whole academic year and consists of a basic seminar 'Grundlagen des Übersetzens aus dem Mittelhochdeutschen' (or 'Grundlagen des Übersetzens aus dem Mitteliederdeutschen') in the winter semester and an in-depth seminar on a topic from the field of older German literature in the following summer semester.
Basic seminars are only offered in the winter semester and must be completed before the respective in-depth seminar, which is only offered in the summer semester. There are three to four basic seminars per winter semester, which are largely identical in terms of content.
After completing the basic seminar, you can select which of the three to four in-depth seminars you would like to attend in the following summer semester (exception: if the basic seminar focused on Low German, the in-depth seminar must also have this focus).
Please take this into account when planning your studies, especially if you are planning a semester abroad.
The module is compulsory for students aiming to become grammar school teachers.
With best regards
Albrecht Hausmann

Important note for students in the M.Ed. programme (Gymnasium)
If you did not complete any medieval literature modules in your Bachelor's degree programme, you must do so in your Master's degree programme, even if this is not mentioned as a requirement in your letter of acceptance. The M.Ed. Gym German examination regulations require every student to provide proof of basic knowledge of medieval literature by the time they register for their Master's thesis. The easiest way to do this is to successfully complete module ger231. Please note that it is best to start the module in the first semester of your Master's degree programme so that you can complete it in time to register for your Master's thesis. Please contact Prof Dr Albrecht Hausmann in good time to clarify how this proof can be provided. You can find a form for the proof here. This note applies in particular to students who have completed their Bachelor's degree at another university, where there may not have been any medieval studies programmes (e.g. Vechta, Lüneburg, Hanover, Hildesheim).
