Der Deutsche Orientalistentag


The German congress for Oriental Studies has been held about every three years since 1921. It is organized by the German Oriental Society (Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft, DMG). Originally intended for members of the DMG only, the Orientalistentag has become the major congress of German-language Oriental Studies attended by university teachers, students, researchers and many others devoted to the study of the languages and cultures of Africa and Asia. Renowned foreign scholars are invited on a regular basis to attend the conference, extending the reach of the Orientalistentag far beyond German-speaking countries.

Participation in the conference is open to all German and foreign scholars and membership in the DMG is not mandatory.

The Orientalistentag is made up of sections, forums, and interdisciplinary panels. Various academic associations in the field of Oriental studies take the opportunity to convene their meetings in conjunction with the Orientalistentag. The DMG will also hold its general assembly during the congress.

The program of the two preceding Orientalistentage, of 2001 in Bamberg and of 2004 in Halle, are available online:

29th German congress for Oriental Studies (2004, Halle an der Saale)
