Language City Regensburg: The city thinks in many languages
Regensburg opens up to its linguistic diversity: On Monday, October 26, 2026, the event series Language City Regensburg starts at the Degginger. The public kick-off combines scientific impulses, personal perspectives, a conversation with a prominent guest from Regensburg, and music into a versatile event experience.
Multilingualism in the heart of Regensburg
How do heritage languages, language biographies, and German as a second language shape life in the city? The opening night examines these questions from historical, societal, and scientific perspectives. The focus is on the understanding that multilingualism is part of the everyday life of many people and sustainably shapes Regensburg's urban society.
World Heritage, Heritage Languages, and Education
The program ranges from the question of the languages of the historic World Heritage site of Regensburg to an introduction to the topic of multilingualism, culminating in the Heritage Languages Forum at the University of Regensburg. Additionally, the evening introduces the supplementary study program in multilingualism consulting and provides a preview of the three other themed evenings in 2027.
Conversation, music, and personal perspectives
The evening will be led by Prof. Dr. Ralf Junkerjürgen. An interview with a prominent guest from Regensburg complements the expert contributions and brings the big questions of linguistics into personal and local proximity. The musical accompaniment will be provided by the Uni Jazz Combo. This creates a lively event atmosphere between information, exchange, and musical ambiance.
Event planning with scientific ambitions
The series is organized by the Chair of German as a Second Language and the Heritage Languages Forum of the University of Regensburg in collaboration with the Department of Education of the City of Regensburg. Also involved are the Regensburg Adult Education Center, the Regensburg City Library, and the Office for Cultural Heritage in Regensburg. The event series is aimed at all interested parties and connects target group outreach, educational work, and cultural dialogue.
