Time:            18:30 - 21:00 (admission from 18:00)

Location: Hochfranken area

Speaker: Josef Kraus

„The limits of my language are the limits of my world.“ If this profound aphorism by Ludwig Wittgenstein applies to Germany as a language nation, and it does, then this country, its culture and, above all, its young people are not in good shape. The German language is being marginalised publicly, in the media, politically and academically. And it is being ideologised. The education system is involved in all of this. And all this in the land of (former!) poets and thinkers!

Josef Kraus, born in 1949, was honorary president of the German Teachers' Association with 160,000 members for thirty years until 2017. He was awarded the German Language Prize in 2018. As a secondary school teacher and school psychologist, he was headmaster of a Bavarian secondary school from 1995-2015. Kraus is active as a publicist in many different fields.
