MCM College European Union Lecture Series – What is German?






On 26 February 2019, MCM College has invited Professor Mario Wenning from Faculty of Arts and Humanities as the guest speaker of the European Union Lecture Series, with Germany as the heart of discussion and raises questions on German stereotypes. As the lecture unfolds, the audience gradually understands more about the philosophy and mentality of Germans – what they value, what they long for, and how important purity is for Germans. Alongside the history and geographical division of Germany, we learned about Santa’s companion Servant Rupert, spaghetti-ice cream and the German tradition of telling New Year fortune by lead pouring. With the very example sitting in front, audience agrees that the stereotype of Germans being strict is not correct, they are eloquent in speech and possess a sense of humor.

After the lecture, students take the opportunity to talk and chat with Professor Wenning about their thoughts and interests in Germany over some German dishes.
