Deutschland vs. Irland

The website was created as part of the DAAD-funded project of the Centre for Irish-German Studies Exploring the past, enhancing the current position, and working towards 250 years of German Studies in Ireland, 2022-2024, which was led by Professor Gisela Holfter (CIGS, University of Limerick), recent and current presidents of the GSAI (Dr Joseph Twist, UCD; Associate Professor Marieke Krajenbrink, UL; Dr Linda Shortt, MU and Associate Professor Michaela Schrage-Früh, UG), and the project’s Research Assistant Natascha Guggi (UL).

The website is now further expanded thanks to one of the four strands of the 2025-2027 DAAD-funded project of the Centre for Irish-German Studies (“Irish-German Studies and its many facets: research, dialogue and promotion to enhance German Studies in Ireland in a European context”) with everybody still on board and with more colleagues (including Dr Anita Barmettler, Orla Prendergast, Associate Professor Veronica O’Regan and Marah Moloney Weissbrich) involved in this part.
