During the 2026–27 winter semester, the Department of German Linguistics will once again host lectures by national and international colleagues on Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

In addition to all linguistics faculty members at RUB, students are also warmly invited to attend the LAB, as it offers an opportunity to engage with various current debates in linguistic research. For the 2026–27 winter semester, we look forward to the following program:
