Introduction

"Sinology" has been taught at German universities for nearly a century. However, from 1910 to 1945 there were only about half a dozen institutes and professors of sinology, including:

Hamburg: Otto Franke (1910-23), Alfred Forke (1925-35), Fritz Jäger (1935-50)
Berlin: J.J.M. de Groot (1912-21), Otto Franke (1923-31), Erich Haenisch (1932-45)
Leipzig: August Conrady (1922-25), Erich Haenisch (1925-32)
Frankfurt: Richard Wilhelm (1925-30)

Since 1945 the number of institutes has expanded rapidly. In the 1990s Germany, Austria and Switzerland had more than twenty institutes of sinology with more than forty professors. The following list includes university institutes, where SINOLOGY can be studied. It does not include academies, research institutes, language schools, "Fachhochschulen", etc.

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Herbert Franke for comments and suggestions.

Further comments and suggestions are welcome and should be sent to Thomas Kampen.
