Important notes on ger231 (AM 3)
Dear students,
The medieval studies advanced module ger231 (‘Early German Literature and Language’) always runs for a full academic year and consists of a foundational seminar, ‘Fundamentals of Translating from Middle High German’ (or ‘Fundamentals of Translation from Middle Low German’) in the winter semester and an advanced seminar on a topic from the field of early German literature in the following summer semester.
Introductory seminars are only offered in the winter semester and must be completed before the respective advanced seminar, which is only offered in the summer semester. Three to four introductory seminars are held each winter semester, the content of which is largely identical.
Once you have completed the introductory seminar, you may make a selection of which of the three to four advanced seminars you wish to attend in the following summer semester (exception: if the introductory seminar focused on Low German, the advanced seminar must also focus on Low German).
Please bear this in mind when planning your studies, particularly if you are planning to spend a semester abroad.
This module is compulsory for students aiming to become secondary school teachers.
Kind 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).
