Das Runde auf dem Eckigen

Look! The architectural representation of this blog:


Notice the names and busts of Lessing and Goethe (further to the right was the Austrian playwright Grillparzer). On top, a massive soccer ball. This is the Wiener Burgtheater. I took this photo from the Fan Zone in Vienna (June 12, 2008) during the ongoing Eurocup tournament.

Wha?

This strange blog is for any fan of the beautiful game, but especially if you're facing a reading list in German studies. I hope it helps with keeping works straight. I'll stick to canonical texts and mix them with soccer news. There are many motivational factors for foreign language studies, it turns out soccer is a big one.
