Zagreber Germanistische Beiträge is a peer-reviewed academic journal in cultural-studies oriented German studies, published annually. It features scholarly articles, reports and book reviews in German language.
The journal is published by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, (Department for German Studies) and supported by the Ministry of Science, Education and Youth of the Republic of Croatia. It was founded in 1992 by Marijan Bobinac.
The journal sees itself as a platform for culturally oriented German studies with a regional focus. Each annual volume has a thematic focus that brings together contributions addressing both general and regionally specific aspects of the theme. In addition to that, we are open to all areas of German Studies in the Varia section.
Our goal is to make regional (Central and Southeast European) experiences, contexts, bodies of knowledge, and networks fruitful for shaping broader questions in Cultural Studies. The regional focus and the unique location are thus not intended to restrict general scholarly inquiry, but rather to provide it with a distinctive profile. We see ourselves as committed to the legacy of an internationally oriented and internationally excellent German Studies tradition, embodied in the scholarly figures of Zdenko Škreb (1904-1985) and Viktor Žmegač (1924-2022). We build on the German Studies research tradition in Zagreb, which has also drawn on Slavic and comparative perspectives and has maintained a dynamic network of regional and international connections.
Zagreber Germanistische Beiträge is an open access journal. All articles are available online in PDF format, without subscription or payment barriers.
