Abstract | The paper describes developments within Hebrew Studies in Germany with an outlook to other German-speaking countries. It reviews several research trends of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and delineates the current state. Traditionally, Hebrew Studies in Germany deal with Biblical Hebrew, and academic teaching of this language takes place at theological institutions. This chronological and institutional focus restricts the research field, whereby later stages of linguistic development become neglected. Even today, while Modern Hebrew is a flourishing language, its teaching is being conducted at a very small number of locations. Currently, there is only one chair in Modern Hebrew Studies in Germany and German speaking countries, and that is merely of an Assistant Professor range. Present growth of Israel and Near Eastern Studies in Germany and continuing interest in Modern Hebrew demands establishing of Hebrew Studies at more locations. The research and teaching should cover all chronological and geographical layers of Hebrew as well as apply sundry linguistic methods.
