Summary/Abstract: In her capacity of visiting professor of the Herder-Foundation at the department of German Studies of the Lucian Blaga University in Sibiu in 2003/2004, a fellowship within the frame of the partnership of German Institutes Marburg-Hermannstadt, the author reflects on the very special challenges the German studies in Sibiu have to face, especially due to the emigration of the Transylvanian Saxons starting with the 90s. In fact the German studies in Sibiu had to undergo major changes from German studies in a German speaking cultural landscape into a more and more so called „Auslandsgermanistik“ (German studies abroad/ in Non-German speaking countries) The changed study-environment and study demand have led not only to a reconsideration of the relevance of traditional contents of teaching, but also to a search of up to date key topics.
