metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the development of Indology at the University of Hamburg and analyzes
  the contribution of Hamburg Indologists to the study of ancient and medieval India
  and the study of modern languages and literature of India in the discipline’s development in
  the sister city of St. Petersburg. The authors note that the development of Indology has a long
  history in Germany and the uniqueness of the Hamburg school is observed. Germany had
  more than forty Indology departments in the 19th century, much more than Great Britain
  then had. The teaching of Indian languages in Hamburg began in 1914 in the classrooms of the university’s predecessor, the Hamburg Colonial Institute founded in 1908 and dissolved
  in 1919, soon after World War I. The University of Hamburg started as new and progressive
  institution of education in Weimar Germany, and continued for the next hundred years,
  where the teaching of Sanskrit, studying ancient medieval monuments of Indian literature,
  philosophy, and religious texts reached a global level thanks to outstanding Indologists, such
  as Walter Schubring, Ludwig Alsdorf, Albrecht Welzer, and Lambert Schmithausen. The article
  also considers the contribution to the development of Indology in Hamburg by current
  Professors Eva Wilden, Michael Zimmermann, Harunaga Isaacson et al. Thanks to the activities
  of these professors and their colleagues from Russia and India such as Tatiana Iosifovna
  and Ram Prasad Bhatta, the study and teaching of the languages and cultures of India within
  the framework of the Center for Culture and History of India and Tibet of the Institute of Asia
  and Africa now includes the study of Tamil language and literature as well as North Indian
  languages and literature.
