Dear guests and interested persons,
February 17th 2025 will mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Indologist Friedrich Albrecht Weber (17.2.1825-30.11.1901). His far-reaching influence and international network had a significant impact on the development of Indology in the German-speaking world and beyond.

This academic symposium on the occasion of the Jubilee is intended to shed light on Weber's many years of intensive work and to emphasise his lasting significance for Indology and other fields. Berlin and Albrecht Weber were and are closely linked. For several years, he held the chair of Indology at the Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Berlin. Weber worked also for many years on the collection of Indian manuscripts at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (SBB), and important parts of his correspondence are kept here.

The symposium aims to explore Albrecht Weber's correspondence network and academic connections, his influence on the development of Indology, and the origins and development of Indological studies in German-speaking countries and Europe.

The conference is held in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Annette Schmiedchen (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), sub-project "From Deccan to Arakan" of the ERC Synergy Grant-funded project "DHARMA - The Domestication of 'Hindu' Asceticism and the Religious Making of South and Southeast Asia".

We look forward to your participation!
