Other | Commemoration of Volkmar Sander, Founder of NYU's Deutches Haus

Tuesday, October 18, 2011, 6:30 pm

Free

The life of Volkmar Sander, founder of Deutsches Haus, was dedicated to promoting the knowledge of German literature and culture. Volkmar Sander founded Deutsches Haus in 1977 and remained director until 1995. He once described his work for Deutsches Haus as “the most beautiful job in the United States.” The main focus of his work was portraying contemporary German literature, art and academia for American audiences, which he did out of the personal conviction that art is always one step ahead of historical progress. Among the myriad of initiatives and projects he undertook at Deutsches Haus, Volkmar Sander initiated the up to this day hugely successful German Library, a compilation of classic and contemporary German-speaking writers in 100 volumes. In addition to his work at Deutsches Haus, Prof. Sander also for many years chaired NYU’s German Department. Volkmar Sander put the artistic and intellectual contemporary Germany on the New York map. Volkmar Sander passed away on Thursday, May 12, 2011.

Deutsches Haus will commemorate its founder with a series of speeches, a concert, and a get-together of many people who knew and loved him. The evening’s celebration of Professor Sander’s passion for German music and the piano, is enabled by the generous support of Bondy Piano Sales and Services.
