Mit Lenau zwischen West und Ost

Abstract

In 1964, in neutral Austria, the „International Lenau Society“ was established. Scholars from many countries on both sides of the ‚Iron Curtain‘ met at the conferences of this society. Joint effort on the historical and critical publication of the works of Lenau led to intensive co-operation of Germanists from East and West Germany, Austria, Hungary and Poland. The article relates the difficulties and successes of that transborder project.
