The German Art and Architecture course is designed primarily for groups of foreign school pupils with intermediate level German who are particularly interested in exploring the world of German art and architecture alongside their language studies. We offer four individual modules in the following areas:
1. Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Johann Gottfried Schadow
2. Max Liebermann
3. The Alte Nationalgalerie
4. Daniel Libeskind and the Jewish Museum
We would also be pleased to hear about your own particular areas of interest and will gladly expand our repertoire to include these. The modules combine intensive study of individual artists or architects or specific art collections based in Berlin, with hands-on exploration of Berlin’s art treasures. The knowledge of art or architectural history which you will gain from the lectures will be brought to life through visits to buildings, exhibitions, museums, memorials, historical graveyards and other artistically historic places in Berlin.

A harmonious, multi-talented and committed team of teachers, each with their own specialist areas, awaits you at M05416 to prepare you thoroughly for the German examination of your choice (ZD, ZMP, DSH or TestDaF). Our teachers are highly qualified, and have substantial experience in teaching German as a Foreign Language, in addition to being equipped with knowledge of the language and culture of the students they teach. This enables them to give their students culturally sensitive support in the appropriate language – an all-important asset in your first few months of acclimatization in Germany.
Annette Merker
I read German Studies, History and Sinology (Chinese Studies) at university. As part of my Chinese studies I lived in the Peoples’ Republic of China from September 1991 until February 1994, on a grant from the DAAD. During this time I studied Chinese language and literature at Beijing University, and taught German at the Goethe-Institute in Beijing. Whilst majoring in Chinese studies I participated in a research project at the Free University (FU) of Berlin, looking at the Republican period in China (1911-1949).
In addition I was a student assistant in the East-Asian Seminar Library at the FU from 1995 to ’98 and worked occasionally in the vacations as a tour guide in the PRC and in Hong Kong. I have been working as Director of Studies and German Teacher at our Language-Institute since January 1999. In addition to my teaching work, I am also responsible for coordinating the courses and the teaching team, as well as taking part in designing and undertaking various projects in the Institute.

I studied Sinology and German Studies, and I have been teaching German as a Foreign Language since 1990 at various language schools in Germany. I have many years’ experience of teaching at all levels. I have taught at elementary, intermediate and advanced level, and have prepared foreign learners for the various language examinations (ZDaF, ZMP, DSH, KDS). In 1991 I worked as a German teacher in Anhui University in Hefei (PR China). Here, one of my responsibilities was to prepare students for the ZDaF examination. Since 1999 I have been working as GFL (German as a Foreign Language) teacher at our Language-Institute, where, alongside intensive teaching work, I am particularly involved in developing teaching materials.
