Summary/Abstract: This paper is an interview with Wolfgang Mieder, a renowned paremiologist, has had a distinguished career in German studies and folklore, primarily at the University of Vermont. Born near Meissen, he pursued his education in Germany and the USA, eventually becoming a prolific author with over a hundred books and numerous articles focused on phraseology. Mieder's work includes analyzing the language of notable figures and politicians, and he has significantly contributed to the study of proverbs and idiomatic expressions. His extensive archive of proverbs at the University of Vermont is a testament to his dedication.

His collaborative efforts with scholars like Andreas Nolte highlight the interdisciplinary nature of his work.
