We would like to express our condolences and condolences to all relatives and those in mourning. Jost Hermand, born in Kassel in 1930, studied German, history, art history and philosophy at the Philipps University of Marburg from 1950 under, among others, with the art historian Richard Hamann. This was followed in 1955 by the Germanist doctorate with the Germanist and literary historian Friedrich Sengle. Then he went to the GDR at the side of his mentor Richard Hamann to work with him on the book series "German Art and Culture from the Early Years to Expressionism". These publications aroused the suspicion of some SED cadres, which is why Jost Hermand was expelled from the GDR in 1957. From 1958 Jost Hermand lived in the USA, where he became Professor of Modern German Literature and German Cultural History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he became Vilas Research Professor in 1967. Despite his career in the USA, he has always remained true to his political stance. Jost Hermand also taught from 2003 to 2013 as an honorary professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin.
