Summary/Abstract: The present article on translational transgressions is a review of the volume Transgressionen im Spiegel der Übersetzung, a festschrift on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Maria Krysztofiak-Kaszyńska, professor of German and Danish literature at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. It comprises a collection of texts written by former doctoral students as well as colleagues of the scholar on the theory of translation in general and transgressions in particular, thus covering the main topics of her field of study and her research. All contributions are published in German. They represent a variety of different approaches and perspectives, which in condensed form document the current status of this rapidly developing academic field comprehensively and well. The entire volume can thus serve as an introduction.
