Biography

He was emeritus professor of the Collège de France, and held the chair of Romance literature from 1992 to 1998.[1]

Weinrich was born in Wismar, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, on 24 September 1927. His doctorate and habilitation were from the University of Münster. He took a founding chair at the new University of Bielefeld in 1968. From 1978 to 1992 he was at the University of Munich in the new chair of German as Foreign Language, Deutsch als Fremdsprache. He was founder of the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize, developed in collaboration with Irmgard Ackermann,[2] a prize for German literature of non-native speakers.[3]

With his work at Bielefeld and Munich universities he is considered the founder of the academic discipline of Deutsch als Fremdsprache, DaF, the didactics of German as Foreign Language. Academic research and teaching in this field include investigation into the (pre-)conditions for, as well as 'hands-on' didactics of, learning and teaching the language in German-speaking countries as well as abroad. [4] [5]

Weinrich won many literary prizes, including the 1992 Karl-Vossler-Preis and the 1997 Hansischer Goethe-Preis. His books are widely translated in European languages. He died in Münster on 26 February 2022, at the age of 94.[6] [7]
