Max Weber Lecture Series

Thirty years ago, in 1977, Deutsches Haus at New York University opened its doors to the public for the first time. Since then, the 19th century carriage house in the historical Washington Mews has become an important platform for the international academic exchange as well as a cultural landmark in the life of New York City, and of New York University.
 
Believing in strengthening communication and understanding across the Atlantic, one of our most recent projects and collaborations was the establishment of a unique and key lecture series in collaboration with the Max Weber Chair at New York University. Fulfilling the Chair’s and the institution’s mission to promote close friendship between the United States and Germany through cooperation in the humanities and social sciences, a special series of lectures was created.
