Creating links, building bridges to Germanic culture with rigor and passion: this was the major objective of the "Founding Fathers", Professors Martien J.G. de Jong, Michel Hanot and Léo Somers, who created the Germanic section in September 1961. A lot has changed since then, in academia as in the world at large, but no matter where our lives take us, we always retain this part of our Namur and German identity: "I'm from Namur", "Were you at the Facs too?", "Ah, we miss the 5th floor!"On this webpage, we'd like to share with our alumni a few tributes to our founding fathers and their successors. We also offer a look back at our 50th anniversary celebrated in 2011, and some photos of our more recent activities. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like to add your contact details so we can get in touch with you about activities, and/or if you'd like to help us organize activities in the future!

"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart." - Nelson Mandela Studying Germanic languages and literature offers you much more than mastering communication in Dutch, English or German. It also offers you a "journey" through the linguistic, literary, cultural, socio-political and media landscapes of Dutch-, English- or German-speaking countries, and enables you to acquire intercultural skills in high demand on the Belgian and international job markets.
