Hundertmal in Weimar, einmal in Trzebieszowice
Hundertmal in Weimar, einmal in Trzebieszowice

Summary/Abstract: The author reports about his intensive cooperation with colleagues from beyond the Iron Curtain during a quarter of a century, though on the basis of critical considerations concerning the possibility of correctly reproducing the past. As editor and coeditor of the Schiller National Edition, he was in Weimar time and again, participated in conferences in various cities of the former GDR, accepted invitations, and tried to intensify existing contacts by counter-invitations. Moreover, he had the good luck to be allowed confidentially to cooperate with Hungarian and, above all, with Polish acahttp demics specializing in German studies. The numerous dialogues set in relief the political divide, while they simultaneously rendered it somewhat more bearable.
