AL-ARABIYYA-INSTITUTE

Eckehard Schulz

The AL-ARABIYYA-INSTITUTE was founded in 2011 by Eckehard Schulz, Professor at the Oriental Institute of the University of Leipzig. It can draw on many years of experience in the Arab world. It places the transfer of research results and service offerings for students and teachers and for the interested public at the center of its activities. It also sees itself as a center for the development of teaching and information materials not only for academic Arabic classes.

In the summer of 2018, the profile was expanded with the addition of Hans-Georg Ebert, a professor at the Oriental Institute who teaches Islamic law and the law of Arab countries in theory and practice.
