Franz Rosenzweig Visiting Professorship
With the Franz Rosenzweig Visiting Professorship, unique in Germany, the University of Kassel commemorates the work and legacy of the Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig, born in Kassel in 1886. The professorship serves to bring to mind the culture of European Jewry, which was destroyed by National Socialism, and to engage with the Jewish present. It has been awarded annually for the summer semester since 1987 and has thus already brought numerous scholars from a wide range of disciplines from Israel, Europe and North America to Kassel.
